Sonic SVM, a gaming-focused blockchain company, has introduced a new Web3 game to TikTok, according to a press release shared with crypto.news.
The game, called SonicX, simplifies the process of joining Web3 by integrating a wallet directly into TikTok, allowing users to explore the blockchain without the usual complexities.
SonicX is a simple clicker game in which players tap the screen to collect digital rings stored on the blockchain. These rings, including cryptocurrencies and NFTs, can lead to rewards. The game builds on the popularity of similar tap-to-win games like Notcoin (NOT) and Hamster Kombat, which have gained traction on Telegram.
SonicX’s key feature is its built-in wallet, which allows TikTok users to log in using their existing accounts without having to manage private keys or complicated passwords. This approach streamlines the onboarding process and makes it easier for users unfamiliar with blockchain technology to participate.
As players progress in the game, they can earn more rewards and recommend their friends to join us, 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 consumer app like TikTok. This could signal growing interest in decentralized applications, especially among users who have never used 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 low 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 that by providing tools for game developers to build on top of Solana. These tools allow developers to create game-specific networks, called layer 2 rollups, that can process many transactions off the main blockchain at a faster pace and lower cost, according to the release.
