The latest troubles with Solana (SOL) meme tokens led traders to look for other chains with heightened activity. The Sonic L1 chain ecosystem is offering a platform for new launches, recently increasing its DEX activity. 

Sonic, one of the relatively new L1 chains, is having a revival as traders seek new platforms with DEX potential. The Shadow exchange is the main driver of Sonic adoption, increasing its volumes 10 times in the past month. 

Sonic is now on track to join the top 5 chains with the biggest DEX activity, lining up just after Arbitrum. The ecosystem even surpassed more promising high-profile launches like Sui and Berachain. 

The success of Sonic took a short time, as the chain increased its activity in the past week, with the migration of users. Sonic increased its DEX activity by over 84% in the past week as the Shadow DEX started building up its liquidity pairs. 

Sonic (S), formerly Fantom (FTM), reaped success with its rebranded name and new ticker, S. The S token rallied by over 16% in the past day to trade at $0.89. S had a short-term peak above $0.97, recovering from lows of $0.40 in the past weeks. Previously, Sonic lagged as the L1 narrative slowed down. The recent chain revival follows the ability to launch new tokens for fast trading with growing liquidity.

Sonic sees increased DEX activity

The pairs on Shadow DEX went vertical, locking in $118.5M. While this DEX size is relatively small, the rapid pace of inflows signaled renewed interest in Sonic. The rebranded chain is EVM-compatible, already bringing in $142.9M in stabelcoins. 

The shift to Sonic shows demand for fun on-chain activities with low fees and low expectations. The low performance of altcoins, legacy memes, and other narratives is fueling the shift of liquidity to a new space.
