Predictions happen every 10 seconds. Transactions need to settle fast and cheapโunder $0.00001 per transaction, sub-400ms finality. Thatโs what SOON provides.
More to come. ๐ซก
SOON is piloting a permissionless asset-launch experiment that fuses x402, prediction markets, and pooled liquidity.
The first of the SOON ร x402 Social Experiment Trilogy will be:
Users pay USDC via x402 and predict the next 10 seconds of market direction. Correct calls auto-mint the token. Funds aggregate into a pool; once a threshold is met or the full supply is minted, the asset is listed on-chain for trading.
Inspired by x402 and $PING: x402 unlocks agent-native payments and $PING validated demand. We extend the model by tying issuance to verifiable prediction outcomes, delivering transparent price discovery at genesis.
This is the first step in a broader x402 roadmap from SOON. Stay tuned.
Following our x402 ร Solana discussion, weโre continuing the conversation with @base next Wednesday, December 17th at 11am ET, joined by the authors and core builders of x402:
- @programmer, co-author of the x402 whitepaper & Head of Engineering at @coinbase
- @nemild, co-author of the x402 whitepaper & ex-Head of @CoinbaseDev
- @joenrv, Principal Engineer at @thirdweb

10sSOON Round 3 has been our most participated event to date โ over 100,000 transactions in the first hour, placing SOON at #1 on x402scan by number of buyers.
While the enthusiasm was incredible, the surge in transactions also exposed the limits of the current facilitator layer, resulting in instability and failed mints for some participants. We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this experiment.
This experience reaffirmed our commitment to the long-term development of the x402 protocol. The SOON team is now building our own high-performance facilitator to support the scale and speed our community brings โ and to help strengthen the broader x402 ecosystem for the future.
Thank you to everyone who took part and helped us push the boundaries once again. Your participation drives the evolution of SOON and the infrastructure weโre building together.
10sSOON is now live at: https://t.co/cVWuXGvHjA
Pay 1 USDC on @base, Predict the $BTC price in the next 10 seconds, and Mint $10s.
50,000 $10s for minting in Round 1, with additional 10,000 $SOON in the prize pool.
Winners take all.
x402 just got really interesting with our new social experiment, What if you could launch a token through a prediction market?
How It Works:
You pay USDC to predict where the price goes in the next 10 seconds. Get it right, you mint tokens. Get it wrong, your money goes into the liquidity pool.
When the pool hits a certain size or minting cap is reached, the token launches on-chain. No team allocation. No presale. Just pure market behavior deciding who gets what.
Why This Is Interesting;
Traditional launches have problems. Teams dump on communities. VCs get special deals. Fair launches get botted. This flips the modelโyour speculation actually creates the asset.
And because it runs on x402, AI agents can participate too. They can pay, predict, and mint tokens just like anyone else. This is the first time AI agents can actually create assets with real economic value.
Why SOON:
This needs speed. Predictions happen every 10 seconds. Transactions need to settle fast and cheapโunder $0.00001 per transaction, sub-400ms finality. Thatโs what SOON provides.
When $PING proved this concept worked, it launched like BTC inscriptions did. Now weโre taking it further. What happens when any prediction market can spawn a token? When AI agents can launch assets autonomously?
Whatโs Next:
This is just Chapter 1. Weโre also launching an x402 facilitator on soonBase so more apps and AI agents can build with this. And eventually, AI agents will be able to launch entire high-performance chains using x402.
We donโt know exactly how this plays out. But when prediction markets become launchpads and AI agents become economic participants, things get interesting fast.
Letโs see what happens when we remove the barriers and keep shipping for our community

Rebranding SOON: High Performance as a Service
Over the past year, weโve been obsessed with one question: How can high-performance infrastructure become a service โ accessible to any enterprise, builder, or government โ without reinventing a new L1 every time?
Today, SOON is evolving to answer that.
Weโre introducing the SOON High-Performance Infra Stack and SOON Perp Stack โ a full-stack system for launching high-speed, compliant, ZK-secure applications. Performance shouldnโt be a privilege. It should be programmable.
โ๏ธ Infra Stack: Launch your own Solana.
Deploy custom SVM chains โ L1s, L2s, or appchains โ that combine speed, security, and interoperability out of the box.
Weโre packaging Solana-level performance into a service layer, so builders can reach Web2 parity instantly.
๐ Perp Stack: Launch your own Hyperliquid.
A dual-layer design โ SoonCore (offchain Execution Layer) + SoonSVM (on-chain Settlement + Ecosystem Layer) โ delivers the fastest CLOB architecture in crypto.
โก๏ธ Same Core Belief, Different Product Vision
Solana remains the best performance architecture โ parallelized, low-latency, deterministic, and built by an ecosystem that refuses to slow down.
Weโre not reinventing that.
Weโre extending it โ bringing Web2-grade enterprises and capital markets on-chain.
The next wave isnโt speculation.
Itโs performance meeting compliance, ZK meeting capital markets, and decentralization meeting real adoption.
Thatโs why SVM is still home.
