Sonic SVM Turns Attention Into an On-Chain Asset

We’ve long heard about the “attention economy,” but so far, most attempts to measure attention have been imprecise, fragmented, or outright unfair. Sonic is changing the narrative by introducing a fully on-chain system that captures, rewards, and reinvests attention in a transparent way.

Key Components of Sonic SVM's Attention Capital Protocol:

• **Attention Capital Funnel **- This funnel converts off-chain signals like clicks, mentions, and impressions into verifiable on-chain activity. Projects can finally track exactly where attention is coming from and how it leads to user action.
• **Authority Score System **- Inspired by Google’s PageRank, Sonic's system assigns scores based on project performance and cross-project collaboration. This incentivizes builders not just to grow individually, but to support the broader ecosystem.
• Programmatic Attention Metrics - No more vanity metrics. Sonic tracks real engagement over time using wallet behavior, transaction volume, staking activity, and more. These dynamic metrics evolve as users engage.
• The Attention Flywheel - A powerful feedback loop where projects reinvest earned rewards to acquire and retain users. This compounding cycle drives sustainable growth instead of short-term hype.

Built on the Sonic SVM's Hypergrid Shared State Network

Under the hood, Sonic’s architecture is powered by the Hypergrid Shared State Network (HSSN) — a high-performance, scalable infrastructure consisting of three specialized node types:

• Relay Nodes – Act as RPC gateways for dApps.
• HSSN Nodes – Handle decentralized, persistent state storage.
• Grid Nodes – Process transactions and distribute rewards fairly and transparently.

This layered design enables fast finality, transparent data, and an equitable reward system based on actual user activity — not just hype or speculation.

Sonic SVM's New Foundation for Web3 Growth

At its core, the Attention Capital Market is about fairness and sustainability. Today, attention creates value across crypto and Web3 — but developers and creators have had no reliable way to capture or monetize it.

Sonic’s system changes that by aligning incentives across the board:

🌟 Developers gain sustainable revenue based on impact and usage. 🌟 Users benefit from better applications backed by real demand. 🌟 The ecosystem thrives as engagement fuels network-wide momentum.

What’s Next?

Sonic has published a comprehensive whitepaper detailing its architecture, economic model, and long-term vision. The Mainnet launch is slated for Q3, setting the stage for a new era of fair and measurable Web3 growth.
