Welcome to SonicSphere Fund

Overview: What is SonicSphere?

SonicSphere is both a homage and the love child of some of the most iconic DeFi protocols to date—drawing inspiration from Solidly, OHM, Beradrome, and Liquid Driver. We’ve taken the best elements from these groundbreaking projects—combining deep liquidity, protocol-owned assets, vote-escrowed governance, and innovative yield mechanics—along with proprietary innovations of our own. The result is SonicSphere: the first Solidly-inspired, fully automated, decentralized autonomous fund (DAF) on Sonic. At its core, SonicSphere offers users diversified exposure to the entire Sonic ecosystem through a hedge fund-esque model, seamlessly blending automated liquidity provision, emissions capture, and sustainable yield strategies.

But this story didn’t begin here. It all started with Solidly on Fantom—a bold experiment in decentralized liquidity, governance, and incentives. Solidly sparked a movement, inspiring forks and evolutions across chains, giving rise to the Dromes: Velodrome, Aerodrome, Beradrome. Each iteration refined the model, building circular arenas where liquidity cycles played out. Yet, these Dromes, like circles, remained two-dimensional—effective, but incomplete. Just as a circle evolves into a sphere in three dimensions, SonicSphere represents the next stage in this journey: a complete, balanced, and infinite system. And just as Fantom itself has evolved into Sonic—a faster, more scalable Layer 1—Solidly’s legacy returns to its spiritual home, reimagined and transformed. SonicSphere is the culmination of this evolution: an advanced financial system built for Sonic, where liquidity cycles become sustainable, governance aligns incentives, and arenas become unified ecosystems. Not a Drome, but a Sphere. Not Fantom, but Sonic.

Business Model

The protocols business model operates across multiple flywheels of carefully curated financial engineering. At its core, the ecosystem in itself acts as a decentralized hedge fund or Decentralized Autonomous Fund (DAF) of sorts, with the the ecosystems main token (SPHERE) acting as a yield bearing omni token designed to support and extract value across the entire Sonic Ecosystem.

A key problem for DeFi protocols that has yet to be completely solved is that of mercenary capital. In DeFi, your project is only as strong as the liquidity that supports it. Once flywheels slow, inflation sets in and profitability drys up, capital moves on to extract and suck value out of the next “flavour of the day”. To combat this, SonicSphere proposes a cPoL model, this being, Complete-Protocol-Owned-Liquidity. Fostering an environment that establishes a foundation for complete protocol owned liquidity delivers an environment of sustainability and longevity, the arch nemesis of any DeFi protocol. This, in a sense, is what gives SonicSphere properties that are akin to a decentralized hedge fund.

At its foundation, the goal of the protocol is to extract and own as much liquidity on Sonic as possible. SonicSphere aims to be an all inclusive product, integrating and extracting / sharing value from not just DEX LP’s but also supporting the ability to integrate any yield bearing asset that exists on the sonic ecosystem. So long as assets can be put to use for their all intended yield bearing properties, the SonicSphere ecosystem is primed to support these yield bearing assets. This opens up support and collaboration with the likes of DEX’s, Lending Networks, Liquid Staking Protocols & even GameFi, delivering an extremely versatile system catering to a wider range of DeFi use cases and strategies.

SonicSphere also introduces a unique bonding curve mechanism that enables call option emissions of oSPHERE as well as delivering several other innovative features, including:

  • Complete-Protocol-owned-Liquidity (cPoL).

  • Auction Gauges (Single sided & LP).

  • Deep liquidity and low slippage at inception.

  • An immutable floor price at 1 $SONIC/$SPHERE.

  • Borrowing $SONIC against gSPHERE without ongoing interest or risk of liquidation.

The aforementioned features create an all encompassing ecosystem, reminiscent of an onmi-token backed by a DAF (Decentralized Autonomous Fund), layered with financially engineered mechanics that allow for game theory to be explored and wealth management strategies to be expanded on.
