feels like a good time to seriously rethink how operating systems and user interfaces are designed
(also the internet; there should be a protocol that is equally usable by people and agents)
Respect for the transparency. You’re hitting on challenges we’ve seen businesses at your scale run into when real-world traffic meets the blockchain.
Our team has been heads-down with leaders across the space on how an L1 can fine-tune the execution environment around what serious apps actually need: settlement certainty, predictable costs, and business-specific tooling. Polymarket is the clearest example of a system that needs web2 reliability on web3 rails.
Quick thoughts from the chain side:
Latency: Sonic finalizes in ~500ms, deterministically. No probabilistic confirms, no reorgs. Your “near-instant” target is already reality on an L1 stack. ~10k TPS sustained, sub-second single-slot finality, ~$0.0001 average fees.
Chain migration: Doors are open, and we’re actively making bespoke improvements for serious teams. Most chains slow down as throughput climbs; Sonic is designed to get faster under high load.
Cancelled transactions: At your scale, this is a throughput and execution problem. Sonic’s headroom removes the congestion vector. Deterministic finality removes the reorg vector. Your CLOB shouldn’t be dropping orders because the chain can’t keep up.
Cheap gas, instant finality, battle-tested uptime, and native USDC are default. Prediction markets need reserved capacity for market makers, gasless user flows, protocol-native atomic batching, and app-critical transactions that still land when volume spikes.
Would love to compare notes with your tech team on what Polymarket’s real-world throughput has taught you, and where we can build to support it.

Onchain delta-neutral yield just went live via @flyingtulip_ on Sonic.
A novel DeFi primitive from @andrecronjetech, currently live in a capped phase with plenty of room to scale stablecoin yield over time.
Superwhisper's next update might be too powerful to release publicly.
The new voice model is so fast at transcription it started finishing sentences users hadn't thought of yet...
We even put it in a sandbox and it dictated its way out.
It also identified a flaw in the English language that had gone unnoticed for 600 years. Linguists have been informed.
Out of an abundance of caution, we are withholding the update until further notice.
Sincerely,
The Superwhisper Team
Why don’t they just tokenize the oil in the Middle East and transport it across permissionless financial rails, thereby avoiding the Strait of Hormuz altogether
We're launching AGP - Sonic’s Ambassador Grant Program.
What it is: a three-month, performance-based initiative for community members actively supporting Sonic through content and engagement on X.
What we're looking for: consistency, quality, and clear communication - not spam, not hype.
