Sonic SVM, a gaming-focused blockchain company, has introduced a new Web3 game on TikTok, according to a press release shared with crypto.news.
The game, called SonicX, simplifies the process of joining Web3 by incorporating a wallet directly into TikTok, allowing users to explore blockchain without the usual complexities.
SonicX is a simple “clicker” game where players tap the screen to collect digital rings stored on the blockchain. These rings, including cryptocurrencies and nfts, can generate rewards. The game builds on the popularity of similar “tap to win” games such as Notcoin (NOT) and Hamster Kombat, which have gained traction on Telegram.
SonicX's key feature is its integrated wallet, which allows TikTok users to log in with their existing accounts without the need to manage private keys or complicated passwords. This approach streamlines the onboarding process and makes it easier for users who are not familiar with blockchain technology to participate.
As players progress through the game, they can earn more rewards and refer their friends to join, creating a viral effect.
Since its launch last month, more than 120,000 TikTok users have signed up, making SonicX one of the most successful Web3 integrations within a mainstream app like TikTok. This could indicate a growing interest in decentralized applications, especially among users who have never interacted with blockchain before.
Sonic SVM and Solana
Sonic SVM, backed by $12 million in funding, is looking to carve out a space for blockchain gaming on the Solana (SOL) network. Solana is known for its speed and lower transaction costs, making it popular in decentralized finance. However, it has yet to become a major player in the blockchain gaming space, where networks like Immutable x have taken the lead.
Sonic SVM aims to change this by offering tools for game developers to develop Solana. These tools allow developers to create gaming-specific networks, called Layer 2 rollups, that can process many transactions outside of the main blockchain at a faster pace and at a lower cost, according to the release.
