Sonic, a high-speed Layer-1 blockchain, has introduced SonicCS 2.0, a new consensus protocol built on a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) framework. This innovative protocol enables parallel transaction ordering, significantly enhancing the network's throughput and efficiency. According to internal testing, SonicCS 2.0 runs twice as fast as its predecessor while reducing memory usage by 68%.

One of the standout features of SonicCS 2.0 is its matrix-based voting logic for leader selection. This approach processes leader selection in parallel, reducing hardware strain and accelerating confirmation times. Unlike traditional blockchains that process transactions sequentially, SonicCS 2.0 allows for asynchronous transaction processing, where transactions can be confirmed independently of each other.

The new protocol was rigorously tested across 200 network cycles on Sonic’s mainnet, demonstrating consistent performance gains. These advancements are expected to further solidify Sonic's position as a leading player in the blockchain space, particularly for applications that require fast and scalable transaction processing. The new protocol will be rolled out in the next client update, with a detailed technical report to follow.

SonicCS 2.0 is part of Sonic's broader strategy to advance the capabilities of DAG-based blockchains. The blockchain is designed to be ideal for decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) due to its high speed and efficiency. In addition to the launch of SonicCS 2.0,

Labs has also unveiled an open-source library for DAG blockchain verification. This new verification tool aims to enhance security standards for DAG-based blockchains, providing developers with a robust framework to build secure and efficient blockchain applications. The open-source nature of the library is expected to foster innovation and collaboration within the blockchain community.

Despite the technological advancements, the Sonic (S) token has faced market challenges, posting a 60% loss over the past year. Whether the protocol upgrade will help revive investor sentiment remains to be seen. However, Sonic's commitment to innovation and open-source development is expected to drive further advancements in the blockchain space, benefiting both developers and users alike.
