Sonic Launches New DAG-Based Consensus Protocol
Sonic Research, the team behind the Sonic (S) altcoin, has introduced a major upgrade to its blockchain infrastructure with the release of SonicCS 2.0 — a new consensus protocol designed to dramatically boost performance and efficiency.
Built on a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) framework, SonicCS 2.0 enables parallel transaction ordering, allowing for faster processing across the network. According to internal testing, the protocol runs twice as fast as its predecessor while cutting memory usage by 68%.
One of the key innovations lies in how transactions are sequenced. Instead of waiting for individual block elections, SonicCS 2.0 processes leader selection in parallel using matrix-based voting logic. This reduces hardware strain and accelerates confirmation times.
The system was tested across 200 network cycles on Sonic’s mainnet, showing consistent performance gains. The new protocol will be rolled out in the next client update, with a detailed technical report to follow.
Despite the technological advancement, the Sonic (S) token has struggled in the market, posting a 60% loss over the past year. Whether the protocol upgrade will help revive investor sentiment remains to be seen.
