What is a Sonic RPC Node?

Access Fantom's next-generation blockchain

A Sonic RPC node provides applications with access to Fantom's revolutionary upgrade, delivering 10,000+ TPS and sub-second finality through complete architectural improvements. Sonic represents Fantom's evolution, incorporating years of operational experience into a high-performance blockchain designed for mainstream adoption.

Why Sonic is revolutionary

Sonic isn't just an incremental upgrade — it's a fundamental reimagining of Fantom with 100x performance improvement. By introducing Carmen DB (optimized storage), improved consensus, native bridges, and better fee markets, Sonic achieves performance rivaling centralized systems while maintaining decentralization. The 1:1 S airdrop for FTM holders ensures existing users benefit.

Sonic advantages:

  • 10K TPS — 100x improvement over Fantom Opera
  • Sub-second finality — instant transaction confirmation
  • Carmen DB — revolutionary storage optimization
  • Native bridge — seamless Ethereum integration
  • S airdrop — 1:1 for FTM holders
  • EVM compatible — all Fantom dApps migrate easily

Carmen DB and storage optimization

Carmen DB is Sonic's revolutionary storage engine designed specifically for blockchain state management. Traditional databases weren't built for blockchain's unique access patterns; Carmen DB optimizes for this use case, enabling the massive performance improvements that make 10K TPS possible.

Sonic technical improvements:

  1. Carmen DB optimizes state storage and access
  2. Improved consensus reduces confirmation time
  3. Advanced fee market handles high throughput
  4. Native bridge infrastructure for cross-chain
  5. Validator economics optimized for performance

Fantom to Sonic migration

Existing Fantom (FTM) users receive a 1:1 airdrop of S tokens, ensuring fair distribution and ecosystem continuity. The Sonic Gateway provides a native bridge for migrating assets from Fantom Opera to Sonic, making the transition seamless for users and applications.

DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and applications on Fantom can migrate to Sonic with minimal friction, benefiting from 100x performance improvement while maintaining the familiar EVM environment.

Technical Documentation

Quick start for developers

Supported RPC Methods

Sonic supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods:

  • eth_blockNumber — current block number
  • eth_getBalance — S token balance
  • eth_call — execute view functions
  • eth_sendRawTransaction — broadcast transactions
  • eth_getTransactionReceipt — transaction confirmation
  • eth_getLogs — event logs
  • eth_gasPrice — current gas price
  • eth_estimateGas — gas estimation
  • eth_subscribe — WebSocket subscriptions

Code Examples

💻

JavaScript (ethers.js) — Sonic Connection:

const { ethers } = require('ethers');

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/sonic/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Verify we're on Sonic
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId); // 146

// Get S token balance
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...');
console.log('S Balance:', ethers.formatEther(balance));

// Deploy contracts just like on Fantom
const factory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, bytecode, wallet);
const contract = await factory.deploy();
await contract.waitForDeployment();

// Sub-second confirmation on Sonic!
console.log('Contract deployed:', await contract.getAddress());
💻

Python (web3.py) — Sonic Setup:

from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/sonic/YOUR_API_KEY'))

print('Connected to Sonic:', w3.is_connected())
print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id)  # 146
print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number)
print('Gas price:', w3.eth.gas_price)

# 10,000+ TPS on Sonic
block = w3.eth.get_block('latest')
print(f'Block {block["number"]}: {len(block["transactions"])} txs')
💻

WebSocket — Real-Time Sonic Updates:

const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/sonic/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Monitor blocks (sub-second finality!)
let lastTime = Date.now();
provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => {
  const now = Date.now();
  const blockTime = (now - lastTime) / 1000;
  lastTime = now;
  
  const block = await provider.getBlock(blockNumber);
  console.log(`Sonic block ${blockNumber} (${blockTime.toFixed(2)}s): ${block.transactions.length} txs`);
});

// Monitor DeFi activity on Sonic
const DEX = '0x...';
const filter = {
  address: DEX,
  topics: [ethers.id('Swap(address,uint256,uint256,uint256,uint256,address)')]
};

provider.on(filter, (log) => {
  console.log('Swap on Sonic:', log);
});
