How to Migrate from Fantom (FTM Tokens) to Sonic (S Tokens) Using D’CENT Wallet

In mid-December, Sonic Labs unveiled the mainnet of Sonic, an EVM-compatible Layer-1 (L1) blockchain platform. Sonic provides developers with robust infrastructure and enhanced incentives, delivering a blockchain environment optimized for scalability and efficiency.

D’CENT Wallet Completes Integration with Sonic Mainnet

Sonic aims to be an EVM-based L1 platform that supports the next generation of DeFi applications by combining speed, incentives, and world-class infrastructure. Notably, it boasts the ability to process 10,000 transactions per second (TPS). With the launch of the Sonic mainnet, Fantom (FTM) tokens are officially migrated to Sonic and the newly introduced S token.

S Token serves as Sonic's native token and can be used for various purposes such as paying transaction fees, staking, validator operations, and participating in governance.

Sonic Labs provides a seamless process to upgrade FTM tokens to S tokens at a 1:1 ratio through the MySonic Upgrade Portal.

In line with this, D’CENT Wallet has also completed its integration with the Sonic mainnet.

This post explains in detail how users holding Fantom tokens in their D’CENT wallets can seamlessly migrate to S tokens.

The simplest and most efficient way to migrate FTM tokens from the Fantom network to the Sonic network is by using the D’CENT Wallet.

The D’CENT Wallet supports both the Fantom and the newly integrated Sonic networks, eliminating the need for additional wallets like MetaMask during the migration process.
