Sonic was built to unlock new experiences for both builders, and players. 💫It is the first gaming SVM built to enable sovereign game economies on Solana. 

We designed Sonic to be the brewing ground for  a world of high-performance Web3 gaming - creating a distinction from the traditional trading experience of in-game assets. Sonic is built on top of the first concurrent scaling framework for Solana, called HyperGrid. Sonic is the first instance of a Grid orchestrated by this framework.

Track Description

We would love to see a set of games that have simple mechanics. Imagine games that you would play at an arcade - something that you can learn, play, and see results quickly.

What we’re looking for is for the builders to get creative on developing mechanics that increase retention and virality. This can be through various mechanics, such as:

• Social engagement, such as high scores that users come back to beat, or challenge their friends with to beat.

• New mechanics or items added over each interaction of play, or when jointly played with others.

• Visual or cultural designs that make the users come back to play and share with friends.
