Sonic could become the fastest blockchain by finality if it maintains this performance on the mainnet.
During the testnet phase, the Sonic chain achieved a transaction finality of 720 milliseconds (ms), marking a significant milestone in blockchain development.
In blockchain, finality is the assurance that a transaction is irreversible, which happens after it is added to a block on the blockchain ledger.
Sonic claims to be the world’s fastest Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain, with a “true” 720-ms finality, according to Andre Cronje, the creator of the Fantom Network and the chief technology officer of Sonic Labs.
