Solana-Based ‘Tap-to-Earn’ Game Launches on TikTok

The Solana project SonicX has introduced a Tap-to-Earn game on TikTok, aiming to become the “Notcoin” of the short video platform, reports Decrypt.

The game is built on the gaming-focused L2 solution Sonic SVM.

Developers plan to collaborate with content creators and launch a series of clickable ads on the short video platform, allowing users to access SonicX directly within the social network.

Similar to mini-apps in Telegram, TikTok enables the opening of web pages in its native browser. Users can earn in-game points by tapping the screen, purchase upgrades to enhance their gaming accounts, and invite friends. All activities will influence a future airdrop.

The game world is inspired by the classic Sonic The Hedgehog video game series, though it has no official connection with Sega.

Each tap in the game will be recorded on the blockchain. A similar mechanism is used in the Aptos-based “tap game” Tapos. Over three days, the network processed 323,477,428 transactions, with 83% attributed to the game.

“[…] With just 1% of TikTok’s audience, we will gain 10 million users. I think this is no longer a dream,” remarked Sonic SVM CEO Chris Zhu.

According to Shopify, TikTok boasts 1 billion active users monthly.

Earlier, the number of Telegram users approached 1 billion, driven by “tap games.”
