The Developer-First Economy
Sonic Labs introduces a revolutionary **Fee Monetization** model, ensuring that **developers retain 90% of all application fees**. This is our commitment to fostering a sustainable, high-growth ecosystem built on fairness and shared success.
The Economics of Sonic
90% for Innovation, 10% for Infrastructure
This unprecedented revenue split is made possible by Sonic's ultra-high-performance architecture. With **400,000+ TPS** and **sub-second finality**, the platform generates the transaction volume necessary to sustain the network while maximizing developer earnings.
Your 90% Share: Fueling Growth
The vast majority of transaction fees are routed directly to the application developers. This capital is intended to be the primary engine for your project's growth, enabling aggressive reinvestment in product development, team expansion, and user acquisition.
- Maximized Profitability: Highest revenue share in the Layer-1 space.
- Sustainable Autonomy: Financial independence to execute your long-term vision.
- Direct Reward: Success is directly proportional to the value delivered to your users.
The 10% Platform Fee: Network Stability
The remaining 10% is dedicated to the core operational costs of the Sonic network. This fee ensures the continuous maintenance, security, and future development of the infrastructure, including validator rewards and protocol upgrades.
- Network Security: Funding for validators and consensus mechanism.
- Protocol Development: Continuous upgrades to SonicVM, SonicDB, and the Gateway.
- Ecosystem Support: Tools, documentation, and community grants.
