The tap-to-earn phenomenon has made waves in the GameFi space, drawing hundreds of millions of users to blockchain-based gaming. The appeal of this trend lies in its simplicity: users can earn money simply by tapping on their phones. Combined with the ability to host games on platforms like Telegram, this model has become even more attractive to users.
SonicX: A Sega-Style Crypto Game Experience
The newly launched SonicX game continues the popular trend of passive tapping minigames. Players can earn small amounts of cryptocurrency by repeatedly tapping their screens. Although it adopts the retro, pixelated style of the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog franchise from the 1990s, SonicX is not officially affiliated with Sega.
TikTok’s Massive Audience as the Target
With around 1 billion active users each month, TikTok is a key target for industries aiming to tap into a large and engaged audience. For simple crypto tapping games like SonicX, TikTok provides an ideal platform to reach a vast user base.
SonicX operates on the Sonic SVM network, which is built on Solana. This Layer-2 gaming protocol ensures that every tap is recorded as an individual transaction on the blockchain. This feature serves as a critical test of the Sonic SVM network’s transaction capabilities.
Chris Zhu, founder of Sonic SVM, remarked on TikTok’s potential to attract millions of players. He noted that reaching just 1% of TikTok’s audience could result in over 10 million users for SonicX.
SonicX’s Potential for Rapid Growth on TikTok
The launch of SonicX on TikTok demonstrates how quickly tap-to-earn games can gain traction on social media platforms. With its simple gameplay and wide accessibility, SonicX is well-positioned to attract millions of players. The cryptocurrency rewards offered to users further enhance interest in the game, while developers benefit from access to enormous markets.
