Project reality

Why the project matters

What it does
Sonic SVM is a gaming-focused Layer-2 network on Solana built by Mirror World Labs using its HyperGrid framework to orchestrate optimistic SVM rollups, with a native SONIC token for gas, staking, and governance. The HyperGrid design lets each app run on its own rollup that settles back to Solana, which is why SonicSVM positions the chain for consumer apps and games rather than general-purpose finance.
Who uses or pays

What is live
The current live product state is not yet recorded separately from campaign research.
Where value flows
Mirror World Labs, the developer of Sonic SVM, completed a $4M Seed round followed by a $12M Series A in June 2024 led by BITKRAFT Ventures with participation from Galaxy Interactive, Big Brain Holdings, Sky9 Capital, OKX Ventures, Republic and Morningstar Ventures [sonic-series-a, sonic-messari-tge]. Beosin audited the $veSONIC token in December 2024 and a separate Sonic SVM Grid audit report is published on the project's docs site [sonic-beosin-audit, sonic-docs-audits].

Preparation

Before you start

  • A wallet used in the original Sonic ecosystem or the eligible Orbiter activity
  • The official checker page
  • A small amount of SOL on Sonic SVM only after eligibility is confirmed
Action

Task checklist

  1. Open the official SONIC claim page and connect a possible historical wallet

    5 min$0 statedonce per historical wallet

    The checker can show an existing allocation from the original snapshot groups.

    You are done when: The official page shows either an allocation or that the wallet is not eligible.

    Watch for: A checker should not ask for a seed phrase or a token transfer.

  2. If you used Orbiter, check the separate official Orbiter rewards page

    Sonic hosts a specific checker and claim flow for eligible Orbiter users.

    You are done when: The page verifies the connected wallet and displays a claim result.

    Watch for: Use the sonic.game subdomain. Do not follow a copied form or direct message.

  3. After eligibility is confirmed, add only enough SOL for the claim fee

    The claim pages say SONIC is distributed on Sonic SVM and gas is paid with SOL.

    You are done when: The wallet shows enough SOL on Sonic SVM and the final claim transaction succeeds.

    Watch for: Do not bridge before the checker shows a reward. Verify the destination network in the wallet.

Reward rules

How rewards work

SONIC launched in January 2025. The official token guide reserved 7% of the 2.4 billion supply for initial claims. That allocation covered named pre-launch groups. The live checker can show whether an old wallet has tokens to claim.

The separate Orbiter page also offers a SONIC claim for eligible historical users. It does not state that new Orbiter activity can qualify. Mobius prize pools were another program. Its first four seasons are complete.

Before spending

Cost and risk

Checking a wallet should cost nothing. An eligible claim needs SOL on Sonic SVM to pay gas, which is the network fee for processing the action. Add only a small amount after the checker confirms a reward.

Several projects use the name Sonic. This page is for Sonic SVM at sonic.game, not the separate EVM network at soniclabs.com. Fake sites can copy the SONIC symbol and claim screen. Check the full domain before connecting, and never type a seed phrase into a website.

Source-backed guidance

How to improve eligibility

  • Check wallets used in Sonic Odyssey, SonicX, AVS delegation, HyperFuse, or early Mirror World programs.
  • Check a historical Orbiter wallet on the separate sonic.game claim page.
  • Do not repeat Mobius tasks because Seasons 1 to 4 are concluded.
  • Bridge SOL only after the checker confirms an allocation.
  • Save the claim transaction and verify the SONIC balance on Sonic SVM.
Editorial judgment

Airdroplet verdict

Check an old wallet, but do not farm closed Mobius tasks

Best for: Past Sonic users and Orbiter users who may already have a SONIC allocation

Skip if: You are a new user with no past activity or would bridge SOL before confirming eligibility

  • Two official claim pages are live and can verify old wallets.
  • The original token allocation and snapshot groups are documented.
  • The opportunity is limited to past users, so a new wallet has no useful task.
  • Mobius Seasons 1 to 4 and all listed earning actions have ended.
  • The claim pages do not show a public closing date, so eligible users should check promptly.
  • Confirmed $12M Series A led by BITKRAFT with named institutional backers (Galaxy Interactive, Big Brain Holdings, Sky9 Capital, OKX Ventures, Republic, Morningstar Ventures) and a December 2024 Beosin audit of the $veSONIC token, plus a Sonic SVM Grid audit report hosted on the project's docs.
  • 2026-08-11 (16:51 UTC) refresh: no material change. Official @SonicSVM live feed could not be fetched (xurl unauthenticated); the most recent visible official activity via Path C is the June 16, 2026 @ManicTrade Open Beta partnership (ecosystem-side, not airdrop-side). airdrop.sonic.game and orbiter-rewards.sonic.game checkers remain live and consume the original December 31, 2024 snapshot allocations; Mobius remains closed for Seasons 1-4; funding and audit lines unchanged. Score and tier held at 62/C.
  • 2026-08-12 refresh: live @SonicSVM timeline captured (40 top-level posts over the 30-day window; cadence ~5 substantive original posts/week with several RT-only days; median ~37 likes / 5 RTs per substantive post). Marquee product news still sits outside the strict airdrop window — the ForgeX acquisition and open-source release (tweet 2037137536372662723, 17,220 likes / 704K views, Mar 26, 2026) and the NorthStar launch for AI-agent execution sessions (tweet 2051309913888931972, May 4, 2026) lead the recent feed; ongoing Senior QA Engineer and Research Intern roles with $5K USDT referral bounties (tweets 2026961183203622914 and 2034560329414590813) confirm active engineering hiring. No new airdrop qualification task was surfaced; airdrop.sonic.game and orbiter-rewards.sonic.game remain the only live claim surfaces and consume the original Dec 31, 2024 snapshot. Third-party discussion: @Solana_zh listed Sonic SVM as a Frontier APAC Demo Day judge (Jul 14, 2026), @Chaos_Fi and @SegaSwap posted staking/Agent-template integrations, and KuCoin announced SONIC Convert delisting on Aug 11, 2026 — none of which open a new farming path. Score and tier held at 62/C.

Re-ranked 2026-08-12: no material change to airdrop surface. Live @SonicSVM timeline was captured this refresh — the official account is shipping product (ForgeX open-source release Mar 26, NorthStar private-execution sessions for AI agents May 4, ongoing Senior QA + Research Intern hiring with $5K USDT referral bounties) and continues to participate in ecosystem events (Solana Frontier APAC Demo Day judging, Consensus Miami NorthStar demos). Third-party discussion surfaced a KuCoin Convert SONIC delisting on Aug 11, 2026 and a third-party note that ex-CMO @notkinsa left to start NTT Digital in April 2026. None of this opens a new airdrop qualification path; airdrop.sonic.game and orbiter-rewards.sonic.game remain the only live claim surfaces and continue to consume the original December 31, 2024 snapshot allocations; Mobius remains closed for Seasons 1 to 4. Funding line ($4M Seed + $12M Series A, BITKRAFT-led) and audit line (Dec 2024 Beosin $veSONIC + Sonic SVM Grid docs audit) unchanged from prior refresh. Score stays at 62/100 and tier stays at C.

Direct answers

Questions

Is the Sonic SVM airdrop claim still online?

Yes. The official general claim page and the Orbiter user claim page were live when checked on August 10, 2026.

Can a new wallet still qualify?

No current rule offers a new qualification path. The claim uses past activity, and Mobius Seasons 1 to 4 are concluded.

Do I need SOL to claim SONIC?

Yes, an eligible claim needs a small amount of SOL on Sonic SVM for gas. Check eligibility before bridging it.

Is this the same Sonic as Sonic Labs?

No. This article covers Sonic SVM at sonic.game. Sonic Labs runs a different network and website.
