Active development persists, but Sonic still lacks usage scale and disclosed fundamentals for a stronger assessment
| Grade | Verdict | Score | Rank | Price | Market cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F | Failed | Red | 24 / 100 | #93 of 203 | $0.0259 | $100.9M |
F | Failed means: Score below 40, or any single hard red flag. Do not own — the story is irrelevant.

S is the token associated with Sonic, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 positioned around speed, incentives, and infrastructure for decentralized-finance applications. The supplied profile describes Fee Monetization, a program intended to direct a substantial portion of application-generated fees to developers, and Sonic Gateway, a connection to Ethereum liquidity that includes a fail-safe feature. At a high level, Sonic aims to provide an Ethereum-compatible environment where applications can operate and developers may share in application fee generation, while the gateway links the ecosystem with Ethereum liquidity. The profile does not specify whether S pays transaction fees, supports staking, enables governance, or captures value through another mechanism. Its distinct combination is EVM compatibility, developer fee sharing, Ethereum connectivity, and high-performance positioning.

Every CryptoGrade rating comes from the same published, rules-based framework: six weighted dimensions produce a 0–100 composite score, hard disqualifying gates can force exclusion regardless of score, and fixed thresholds map the composite to a grade. Read the full methodology on the Framework page.
The full Sonic verdict — the investment thesis, disqualifier gate checks, per-dimension scores with provenance, on-chain usage and developer-activity signals, and the complete score history — is free with a sign-in and identical for everyone.
