Sonic plans to integrate core applications to enhance the value of the S token

The Sonic team has announced plans to upgrade the value accrual mechanism of its native token S through both self-development and acquisition of core protocol applications and infrastructure, hinting at potential mergers and acquisitions in the future. Sonic Labs stated that it will focus on key infrastructure at the intersection of token utility, liquidity, and use cases. By internalizing and commercializing core economic activities, the team aims to reduce value outflow from the ecosystem application layer, while maintaining openness and permissionless features for developers. The team pointed out that the traditional model relying on gas revenue is no longer sustainable, and that deeper ecosystem integration is needed to reshape Layer 1 value capture. Sonic is a high-performance public chain compatible with EVM, aiming to achieve near-instant confirmation and extremely high throughput.
