Loading...SOON (Solana Optimistic Network) is building the highest throughput stack that allows for any SVM L2 to be deployed on any L1. SOON is a decentralized platform focused on building a decoupled SVM stack that optimizes transaction efficiency for Web3 applications.
SOON operates as an execution environment that settles on Ethereum but allows Ethereum developers to access Solana’s powerful SVM engine. This is especially impactful for Ethereum users, where transactions are known for being slow and expensive.
Eventually, SOON aims to expand settlement across all major Layer 1 (L1) blockchains and not be limited to Ethereum alone. The long-term vision is to make the SVM engine accessible to a wide range of blockchains, providing cross-chain compatibility.
Their testnet is live and the deadline is 31 December, who knows what will happen next, if there are new activities we will update this guide. Let’s make sure we all stay positioned for this potential airdrop by following our guide!
Step by Step Guide
