Sonic has introduced a new tool, Spark, designed to simplify the development of Web3 applications for users without specialized programming skills.
What is Spark?
Spark is an AI tool that enables users to create Web3 applications without the need for advanced programming knowledge. The new product features a no-code builder capable of working across the full stack of Web3 applications. According to Sonic, users will be able to create smart contracts, frontends, and handle app deployment with it.
Sonic's Goals and Capabilities with the New Tool
The launch of Spark is a strategic move for Sonic aimed at expanding its blockchain ecosystem. The company hopes to attract more developers and users seeking a wide range of functionalities. Sonic claims that Spark "expands the developer pool, unlocks rapid on-chain experimentation, and places Sonic at the leading edge of both blockchain and AI."
Potential Risks of Using AI in Web3
Despite the advantages touted by Sonic, large language models on which Spark relies can be prone to errors in both natural language and programming. In the context of Web3 and DeFi, this can lead to severe consequences. Hackers may exploit vulnerabilities in even well-verified applications by seasoned developers, posing security risks for DeFi platforms built using AI.
With Spark, Sonic aims to simplify the development of Web3 applications and expand its market influence, though the associated AI risks necessitate a cautious approach regarding security.
