Sonic Labs, a blockchain project emphasizing strategic shifts toward sustainable growth, today announced a transition to a token-focused model that prioritizes fundamentals and ecosystem development. Mitchell Demeter, the recently appointed CEO, outlined the strategic pivot in a post via the company’s official X account.
The Sonic network will implement tiered fee rewards that allocate portions to builders and validators while burning the remainder to enhance deflationary effects for the S token, the platform’s native asset.
Sonic Labs has planned and secured funding to establish a New York City office to facilitate US market expansion and support institutional ecosystem growth initiatives. The company’s recent focus has been on operational and technical upgrades, reflecting a deliberate strategic shift toward long-term fundamentals and resilience over rapid, hype-driven marketing.
The new model focuses on targeted incentives for developers and partners through enhanced network mechanisms designed to support long-term adoption rather than short-term promotional activities.
