Sonic vs Vaulta

Sonic is an ultra‑fast EVM Layer‑1 claimed to reach 400k TPS and sub‑second finality via a custom SonicVM and DAG‑based consensus dubbed Tempo. Blocks are final once two‑thirds of stake attest, and state is stored in an in‑memory ledger that snapshots to disk every epoch. The project focuses on GameFi and real‑time social dApps, with an incentive testnet launched in May 2025.

Vaulta is a Layer-1 chain built as the operating system for Web3 banking. It combines a high-performance, deterministic-finality blockchain with modules for wealth management, consumer payments, portfolio investment, and crypto-native insurance. Fully EVM-compatible, Vaulta supports Bitcoin integration via ExSat, cross-chain transfers through IBC, and a staking-backed stable financial infrastructure for institutions and individuals.
