You're an EVM developer with a great game, but Ethereum gas fees are pricing out your users. You've looked at Solana, but don't want to learn Rust. Sonic, a new gaming L2 on Solana, is the solution. It's a fully-compatible EVM chain built for speed.
Let's walk through deploying an existing Solidity contract to the Sonic testnet.
Step 1: Your Existing EVM Project
You don't need to change your smart contracts. All your Solidity code, Hardhat scripts, and Foundry tests will work out of the box.
Step 2: Configure Your Deployment Tool
In your hardhat.config.js (or similar file for other tools), you just need to add the Sonic testnet as a new network.
JavaScript
// hardhat.config.js
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
module.exports = {
solidity: "0.8.20",
networks: {
// ... your other networks
sonic_testnet: {
url: "https://devnet.sonic.game/", // Sonic's public testnet RPC
accounts: [0x${process.env.PRIVATE_KEY}]
}
}
};
Step 3: Get Testnet Funds and Deploy
Visit the Sonic faucet to get testnet tokens for your wallet.
Run your deployment script, specifying the new network.
bash
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network sonic_testnet
That's it. Your EVM-based game is now running on a high-performance Layer 2 on Solana. The underlying Sonic Protocol, with its HyperGrid architecture secured by Nodes, handles the massive scaling required for gaming.
