    4. Sonic Blockchain, formerly known as Fantom, plans to offer credit scores for digital wallets. This will enable decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms to offer traditional loan products like personal and payday loans.

    Building the Framework

    Sonic Labs began developing this credit scoring system in 2021. The system processes data from over 500 million wallets, 15 million loans, and 54 billion transactions, ensuring user privacy by eliminating the need for KYC. Sonic will reportedly be the first blockchain to offer on-chain access to wallet scores, allowing the development of decentralized applications (dApps).

    A New Era of Financial Products

    Sonic's introduction of credit scores opens DeFi to a variety of traditional loan products, including: * Personal loans * Payday loans * Credit-based insurance * Adjustable-rate mortgages * Buy Now, Pay Later services * Postpaid mobile plans. According to Andre Cronje, Sonic opens up financial services to users who previously lacked access due to the decentralized blockchain and the absence of traditional credit scores.

    Technological Innovations Driving Sonic’s Success

    One of the key features of Sonic’s blockchain is its fast transaction finality. On September 8, Andre Cronje revealed that Sonic’s testnet achieved transaction finality in just 720 milliseconds, significantly faster than competitors. The rapid finality and low latency create an efficient and user-friendly ecosystem where users no longer need gas funds in their wallets, and private keys can be replaced with standard authentication methods.

    The Sonic testnet went live on September 6, with the mainnet launch expected soon. Andre Cronje believes Sonic will become the fastest blockchain in transaction finality, promoting speed, scalability, and privacy.
