Solana Layer 2 Sonic Airdrops SONIC Token for TikTok users

Solana-based gaming-focused Tier 2 Sonic Block will be dropping its SONIC token to all its onboarding users through the social media platform TikTok.

Sonic has built its own SonicX game inside TikTok, in an attempt to replicate the success of mini apps created on the TON blockchain within the messaging platform Telegram.

The game has more than 2 million users using TikTok, which Sonic attributed to the app’s smooth experience and access in an email announcement that did not provide further details about the token release.

Games built on Blockchain often suffered from a stale experience that made user retention difficult. Working through Web2 apps like Telegram or Tiktok, developers can leverage existing onboarding procedures and build an intuitive user experience.

TikTok has 1 billion monthly active users. The number is expected to rise to more than 2.3 billion by 2029, according to Shopify.
