Aleph Cloud, the decentralized cloud infrastructure powering confidential compute and persistent storage for Web3, is proud to announce its integration with Sonic, the lightning-fast, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain. This new integration introduces a seamless experience for developers to build high-throughput, data-driven dApps with decentralized storage, messaging, and compute, all while enjoying the unmatched performance of Sonic’s settlement layer.
Sonic brings 400,000+ TPS throughput with sub-second finality, making it ideal for real-time, high-volume applications. By integrating Aleph Cloud’s decentralized message protocol and compute layer, Sonic developers now gain access to a fully modular Web3 stack that includes:
