SonicX, the first TikTok APP Layer developed by Sonic SVM, will
airdrop $SONIC tokens to all eligible Tiktok users.
Sonic SVM, the team behind SonicX, the TikTok App Layer and
the hit tap-to-earn game, has announced that they will airdrop
their $SONIC token to all users onboarded through TikTok. This
initiative comes after Sonic has seen success onboarding over 2
million users through the TikTok applayer they have developed, and
the latest initiative continues the effort to bring 1 billion
TikTok users onto Web3.
The TikTok onboarding success is attributed to two major
factors: seamless onboarding and distribution. By utilizing account
abstraction, TikTok users are not required to create and connect a
web3 wallet - rather, they can log in with their TikTok account,
and the wallet is automatically created. Transactions conducted
within the app are gasless, allowing users to perform blockchain
actions without signing transactions - providing a seamless Web2
app experience.
Combined with account abstraction, the distribution strategy of
Sonic has played a major role in the user conversion as well.
Multiple members of Sonic, including CEO and co-founder Chris Zhu,
has previous experience working at Bytedance - the parent company
of TikTok - and utilizing their in-depth knowledge of the social
media platform, as well as existing connections with the TikTok
team and distribution partners has allowed them to fully tap into
the full distribution potential for SonicX.
SonicX deploys premium TikTok ads and partners with TikTok
creators to have the platform’s algorithm recommend the campaign to
users in target regions. Users can directly access Sonic X or
Sonic's TikTok via ad and video links. Sonic also utilizes the official Sonic SVM account for branded challenges,
live streams and interactive games - building their TikTok
corporate account as a central hub for gaming and blockchain
education, providing users with simplified guides and tutorials.
The airdrop snapshot has not been announced yet, and additional
TikTok users are still able to visit official Sonic SVM account to access SonicX,
qualifying for the upcoming airdrop.
This initiative is parallel in comparison to the $TON ecosystem
initiated by Telegram, a pioneer of the mini-game movement boasting
950 million monthly active users - with its native token $TON
reaching a market cap of over $15 billion. In comparison, TikTok,
with 1 billion monthly active users and a projected user base of
2.35 billion by 2029, represents a massive, largely untapped market
for Web3 gaming, according to Shopify.
Capitalizing on TikTok’s potential, SonicX surpassed 1 million
players within a month of its debut, as reported by Decrypt's GG. Sonic SVM
aims to build a TikTok Chain through its App Layer, enabling
seamless integration for other projects. Sonic recently announced
its first game, Mahjong 123, set to launch
on SonicX.app, kicking off the expansion of its TikTok
Chain ecosystem. The current campaign is the latest announcement
signaling the upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE) where eligible
users will receive token rewards through the airdrop.
