IT'S OFFICIAL! We're now Sonic Labs.

On August 1, we launched Sonic Labs across all platforms as we move toward the release of Sonic, the fastest EVM chain with a secure gateway to Ethereum. Check out the new Sonic Labs splash page.

As the launch of Sonic approaches, we're eager to provide users, developers, stakers, and validators additional guidance on migrating to the new chain. Opera will continue to be supported for FTM holders.
