The Fantom Foundation has launched the Fantom Sonic testnet, allowing users and developers to access it

ChainCatcher news, the Fantom Foundation has launched the Fantom Sonic testnet, which includes a brand new virtual machine FVM, improved database storage Carmen, and an optimized Lachesis consensus mechanism. The upgrade does not require a hard fork, and existing smart contracts, services, and tools on Fantom Opera are fully compatible with Fantom Sonic. The TPS of Sonic is expected to reach 2000+.

Users and developers are currently allowed access to the Fantom Sonic testnet environment, which consists of two independent testnets. The closed testnet aims to showcase its maximum theoretical limits, while the open testnet is interactive, allowing any user to experience it directly. Additionally, the mainnet is scheduled for release in the spring of 2024.
