1.《Up 500% in a Week, Understanding Sonic's "DeFi Engine" Shadow Exchange》
During a time when other chains are focused on the meme market and are continuously distracted by various unexpected events, Sonic Labs has been focusing on DeFi development. Sonic has announced several new measures to incentivize DeFi projects in its ecosystem, leading to a 500% TVL increase on Sonic in just under a month. In just two months, Sonic has gone from 0 to over $5 billion in TVL, with $1.1 billion in external net inflows into Sonic, dominated by Solana, followed closely by Base and ETH. DEX trading volume on Sonic has also surpassed the $1 billion mark.

These token projects exhibit striking similarities: extremely high FDV, exaggerated trading volume, and intense price fluctuations. On the surface, these tokens have gained market attention due to the celebrity effect. However, a deeper analysis reveals that behind this lies a carefully designed wealth extraction mechanism.
