Sonic vs World Chain

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.

World Chain is an Ethereum layer 2 network built on the OP Stack by Tools for Humanity, the company behind World (formerly Worldcoin). It is designed for humans first: users verified with World ID can receive priority blockspace and free gas allowances, which helps reduce bot activity. World Chain is natively integrated with World App, giving its applications access to millions of users, and hosts the WLD token along with stablecoins, DeFi protocols and mini apps. It is part of the Optimism Superchain.
