What investment opportunities are there when the Sonic ecosystem takes off?

Hot spots change, will opportunities come in with hot money?

Just as the market is in a chaotic cycle of disorderly fluctuations, Sonic, formerly known as Fantom, once again relied on his old business DeFi. The main currency $S soared this week, and the overall TVL of the ecosystem also doubled in one week. The various DeFi tokens in the ecosystem have even increased by astonishingly. The leading project $Shadow has increased by more than 500% in a week. The same increase has occurred almost in every week. on high-quality projects in Sonic ecosystem.

The recovery of Sonic's ecosystem is undoubtedly because the quality of its own DeFi ecosystem has brought many external increments, and a large part of the popularity is also attributed to Sonic's ecological spiritual pillar -founder AC (Andre Cronje) has been crazily calling for orders, 24 hours a day Intensive surfing, whether it is DeFi or Meme, as long as it is a project within its own ecosystem, it will be answered and forwarded wildly.

During the period when the emotions of Solana and BSC are receding, and the on-chain liquidity has not yet found a new window. We have included some projects worth paying attention to in the Sonic ecosystem to see how Fantom OGs have accumulated three years of unfolding Sonic ecosystems.

$SHADOW (@ShadowOnSonic)

Contract address: 0x3333b97138D4b086720b5aE8A7844b1345a33333

The recent popularity of Sonic's DeFi is inseparable from Shadow's token $SHADOW. Shadow is a DEX based on the x(3,3) model in the Sonic ecosystem. The highlight of innovation is to transform the traditional gameplay of locking the position to earn profits in ve(3,3) into a fine for early withdrawal, which is left behind. "Spending money" this mutual assistance model.

Users can deposit $SHADOW to obtain the pledge voucher $xSHADOW to obtain the income brought by various protocols. At the same time, you can withdraw from the pledge at any time, but a certain proportion of tokens (change according to the holding time) need to be deducted as early return penalty, and the deducted tokens are allocated to users who maintain the pledge.

This innovation brings high pledge returns to $xSHADOW holders, and also allows Shadow's TVL to rise sharply:

Beets.fi (@beets_fi)

Beets.fi (Beets for short) is the LST center in the Sonic ecosystem, developed and upgraded by the Beethoven X team. With Fantom transitioning to Sonic, Beets has transformed from DEX to Sonic's core staking and liquidity infrastructure projects, becoming a pillar project of the Sonic ecosystem, suitable for users who pursue stable returns and long-term participation.

Users obtain liquid pledge certificate $stS through pledge $S, which not only retains network pledge income and maintains asset liquidity, and the automatic compound interest mechanism designed to continuously accumulate returns. The platform builds a diverse liquidity pool matrix through $stS, such as the $wOS/$stS pool in partnership with Origin Protocol, allowing users to capture multiple benefits while maintaining $S exposure.

Eggs Finance (Eggs for short) is a leveraged income agreement on Sonic's ecosystem. It combines leveraged income tools with Sonic's native token $S to create a capital circulation system within the ecosystem. The goal is to "let $S holders amplify earnings while retaining their positions."

The operating mechanism of Eggs Finance can be summarized as "casting, leverage, and income cycle":

Users can pledge $S to Eggs Finance and mint derivative token $EGGS, which is pegged to $S but has a leverage attribute. The casting cost increases with the participation time, and the cost of early users is low. The $S paid by later users will be partially returned to early participants, forming a profit cycle similar to "Ponzi". After that, users can use $EGGS as collateral to lend more $S and then invest in other pools (such as ShadowOnSonic or Beets) to earn high returns. Someone mentioned on X that the short-term annualized rate of return of the $EGGS/$S pool was once as high as 1800%.

Currently, Eggs Finance has been included in DeFi Llama, and the transaction is mainly conducted on Sonic's DEX.
