Sonic SVM, a Solana layer-2 (L2) network and developer of the tap-to-earn (T2E) game SonicX, has announced the airdrop of its native SONIC tokens on the Solana blockchain.
The upcoming airdrop, set for January, remains open to new participants —but obviously has a special focus on early users. A snapshot of eligible players has yet to be taken, so there’s a chance for additional users to qualify by joining the game.

SonicX, a tap-to-earn game, allows players to tap their screens repeatedly to earn in-game items, purchase power-ups, and refer friends to climb leaderboards. Keep in mind Its artwork draws inspiration from Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog, but the game is not officially licensed.
But the game makes onboarding very simple. SonicX was developed natively within TikTok. This means users are not even required to set up a cryptocurrency wallet or sign blockchain transactions as the only thing they have to do is log in through TikTok, where a wallet is generated for them automatically.
This ease of access has contributed to its rapid growth. We’re talking about 2 million users via TikTok, a milestone Sonic attributes to the platform’s global reach and streamlined user experience.
TikTok, which currently boasts 1 billion monthly active users, is expected to grow to 2.3 billion users by 2029, according to Shopify. This growth potential positions TikTok as a promising avenue for blockchain gaming distribution the same way it did for Telegram with many TP2 games developed on The Open Network.
Sonic SVM operates as a layer-2 solution for Solana, settling transactions on its own chain and then sending those back to the layer-1 (the actual Solana blockchain). It is specifically designed for gaming and non-fungible token (NFT) projects and currently supports over 20 projects, with a daily active address count nearing 750,000.
