Introduction
We are thrilled to announce that Band Protocol is officially live on the Sonic mainnet! Following a successful integration as “The First Push-Based Oracle on the Sonic Testnet”, we’re taking a significant step toward empowering developers on the Sonic ecosystem with reliable, cost-effective, and highly scalable data oracle solutions.
Key Takeaways from Testnet and Mainnet Enhancements
Our journey from testnet to mainnet has been an invaluable learning experience, allowing us to refine and expand our offerings for the Sonic ecosystem. Here’s what we’ve achieved and enhanced:
- A Thriving Developer Environment: The testnet phase showcased Sonic's vibrant ecosystem with an active and engaged developer community. This feedback-driven environment allows continuous innovation and seamless adoption of tools like Band Protocol.
- Key Price Feeds Delivered: During the testnet phase, we successfully provided reliable price feeds for DAI, ETH, FTM, USDC, USDT, and WBTC. These feeds served as the foundation for DeFi and other applications on Sonic, demonstrating Band Protocol’s capability to deliver accurate and secure data.
- Mainnet Enhancements: With the transition to the mainnet alongside Fantom's rebranding to Sonic, we’ve introduced support for the $S symbol, enabling developers to integrate price feeds for Sonic’s native token seamlessly. Additionally, we now support the migration of $FTM to $S, ensuring smooth transitions for developers and projects building on Sonic.
- Streamlined Developer Onboarding: Onboarding Sonic developers to use Band Protocol’s price feeds is now easier and more intuitive than ever. With comprehensive documentation, SDKs, and active community support, developers can seamlessly integrate Band’s Oracle solutions with minimal friction.
- Improved Scalability and Reliability: The mainnet offers enhanced scalability and uptime, ensuring that Band Protocol’s data feeds can handle the increasing demand from a growing Sonic ecosystem of dApps.
