Sonic SVM, a blockchain company focused on gaming, has introduced a new Web3 game on TikTok, according to a press release shared with crypto.news.&nbsp;
The game, called SonicX, simplifies the process of joining <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/Web3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Web3</a> by embedding a wallet directly into <a href="https://crypto.news/anti-tiktok-restrict-act-could-affect-crypto-experts-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TikTok</a>, allowing users to explore blockchain without the usual complexities.
SonicX is a simple “clicker” game in which players tap the screen to collect digital rings stored on the blockchain. These rings, including cryptocurrencies and <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/nft/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NFTs</a>, can lead to rewards. The game builds on the popularity of similar “tap-to-earn” games, like Notcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/notcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NOT</a>) and <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/hamster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hamster Kombat</a>, which have gained traction on <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/Telegram" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram</a>.
The key feature of SonicX is its embedded wallet, which allows TikTok users to log in using their existing accounts without needing to manage complicated private keys or passwords. This approach streamlines the onboarding process and makes it easier for users unfamiliar with blockchain technology to participate.&nbsp;
As players advance in the game, they can earn more rewards and refer their friends to join, creating a viral effect.
Since its launch last month, over 120,000 TikTok users have signed up, making SonicX one of the most successful Web3 integrations within a mainstream app like TikTok. This could signal growing interest in decentralized apps, especially among users who have never engaged with blockchain before.

Sonic SVM, backed by $12 million in funding, is <a href="https://crypto.news/sonic-svm-announces-12-8m-hypergrid-node-sale-on-solana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">looking to carve out a space</a> for blockchain gaming on the Solana (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/solana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SOL</a>) network. Solana is known for its speed and lower transaction costs, making it popular in decentralized finance. However, it has yet to become a major player in the blockchain gaming space, where networks like Immutable X have taken the lead.
Sonic SVM aims to change this by offering tools for game developers to build on Solana. These tools allow developers to create game-specific networks, called Layer-2 rollups, which can process many transactions off the main blockchain at a faster rate and lower cost, according to the release.
