The Sonic Boom program is an initiative by Sonic Labs designed to drive early growth on Sonic by attracting top-tier projects and fostering the development of essential applications within our ecosystem. Sonic Gems represent a meritocratic system designed to empower apps in distributing rewards. This allocation makes Gems a crucial tool for developers looking to leave their mark on the Sonic network.

To submit your project, ensure your proposal includes a detailed description of the protocol, its use cases, its potential to drive user adoption on Sonic, whether it leverages Sonic features (like Gas Monetization and Safe tools), and a timeline for deployment.

Any developer or team capable of creating protocols that align with the program’s objectives is eligible to participate. These protocols must be deployed on the upcoming Sonic testnet and be deployed on the Sonic mainnet within 7 days of its launch.

Sonic Gems are the primary rewards in the Sonic Boom program. They represent points that can be used to incentivize user engagement within the Sonic ecosystem. Winning projects can distribute these Gems to users as rewards for interacting with their protocols, helping to bootstrap and sustain user activity.

Participation in Sonic Boom is free. However, participants are responsible for any gas fees or other costs associated with deploying their protocols on the Sonic testnet and mainnet.

If a project fails to launch on the Sonic mainnet within the required 7-day window, it risks forfeiting the awarded Sonic Gems. However, the project may still be recognized for its innovation and may receive other forms of support from Sonic Labs.

Yes, existing projects that meet the program’s criteria can participate as long as they deploy on the upcoming Sonic testnet and follow the program rules.
