Sonic SVM, a layer-2 gaming chain on Solana, launched a tap-to-earn game on TikTok and is partnering with influencers to publicise it. While not a mini app like those on Telegram, users will be able to open a web page using TikTok’s in-app browser to access the game.

Tap-to-earn games have made their way to TikTok with the launch of SonicX, a game similar to Notcoin that involves tapping to earn rings that allow players to upgrade and progress through the game, gathering points for an eventual token launch.

The game includes a social login that allows users to sign up/in with their TikTok accounts to track their points and ultimately claim tokens.

SonicX stands out from other tap-to-earn games on TON by registering each tap as a transaction on the Solana network, a feature which, if executed, could dramatically increase transaction volume on Solana and propel Sonic SVM into popularity as a scalable gaming layer.

The rise of  tap-to-earn games

While SonicX is the first tap-to-earn game on TikTok, it is just another in a series of games that have come to market. Heralded by Notcoin on TON, tap-to-earn games leverage their ease of access and promise of monetary reward.

These games do not require users to possess in-depth blockchain knowledge to play, and are engaging enough to gamify the pursuit of monetary reward via tokens.

Moving beyond Telegram

Telegram proved to be an excellent ecosystem for tap-to-earn games with over 900 million monthly active users and ample crypto support; the tap-to-earn movement brought 300 million players to Telegram.

While most other tap-to-earn games have stuck to Telegram and TON, SonicX intends to leverage TikTok’s 1+ billion monthly active users. Sonic SVM aims to capture 1% of TikTok’s user base, which is roughly 10 million monthly users.

Despite its name and theme, SonicX is not affiliated with the Sonic the Hedgehog brand.
