Sonic SVM, a Solana-based blockchain gaming Layer-2 infrastructure firm, has developed the first Web3 game with an embedded wallet on TikTok, the world’s most popular video sharing app. With the help of its embedded wallet, the new game SonicX makes it easier for TikTok users to get started and introduces them to the advantages of Web3 and decentralization.
The first atomic SVM L2 built to support sovereign game economies that finalize on Solana is Sonic SVM. It is powered by HyperGrid, a core technology developed by Mirror World to support Solana grids, which allows developers to implement unique Sonic Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) chains that provide significant scalability benefits.
Building on the popularity of “tap-to-earn” games like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat on Telegram, SonicX is an HTML5 clicker game. Users may start playing the game right away since it’s embedded within the TikTok app. They only need to touch the screen to create rings that are hosted on-chain. Players will be able to earn more blockchain-based incentives, such as cryptocurrency and NFTs, by gathering rings.
The game’s inbuilt wallet offers account abstraction features that enable players easily recover their passwords without having to handle private keys. To begin, users just need to sign in using their TikTok account. From there, the blockchain will record all of their accomplishments and the rings they earn. Along with completing daily tasks and moving up the game’s leaderboard, players may get extra rewards by recommending friends.
With $12 million in funding, Sonic SVM is building a foundation for Solana’s blockchain gaming industry. It has created a cutting-edge Solana infrastructure that developers can use to build game-specific rollups, or Layer-2 networks that group transactions off-chain to execute them more quickly and at a reduced cost.
This is an area that is ready to expand. Due in part to the emergence of blockchains specifically targeted at gaming, such as Immutable X, Solana has mostly gone unnoticed by blockchain game creators, despite the fact that it is already a formidable power in DeFi, where its expanding ecosystem rivals Ethereum’s. Sonic SVM dramatically increases Solana’s speed and scalability with its innovative architecture, which makes use of the Sonic Virtual Machine and HyperGrid, a strong horizontal scaling framework. This makes Solana the perfect network for Web3 games.
The ability to quickly export one’s private key for use with other Web3 apps in the Solana ecosystem is a fundamental benefit of SonicX’s integrated wallet.
Chris Zhu, Co-founder & CEO, commented:
“The way we simplified the SonicX login flow on TikTok allows us to tap into a totally new set of users globally. We are eager to further improve the user experience in TikTok and provide the same capabilities to tons of Solana applications.”
The introduction of SonicX on TikTok demonstrates how much account abstraction wallets may hasten the adoption of Web3. More than 120,000 TikTok users have already been onboarded into Web3 for the first time since its introduction last month.
