NAUT tracks 65 live project pages in the Sonic ecosystem as of 14 November 2026, led by 24 DeFi projects, 11 infrastructure projects and 10 DEXs by their first sector tag. 56 of the 65 carry a launched token on NAUT, and 52 have funding amounts that sum to $1.82B across their round records on NAUT's record.
How this list was built: on 14 November 2026, NAUT read every company row whose chain list includes Sonic. That gave 70 rows. 2 are archived or merged into other rows (an older Layer3 row and WOO), which leaves 68 live. 3 more are left out: Sonic (prev. Fantom)'s own chain row (1); Savage (1), because its stored description is a Samsung Smart TV app for creators, with nothing that ties it to Sonic; and Spell (1), because its row has no stored description. All 65 that remain are project rows, with no investor or service firm among them. A chain tag is NAUT's record that a project is deployed on Sonic. It does not say whether the team started on Sonic, and 45 of the 65 carry 10 or more chain tags. Outside sources confirm a Sonic deployment for 3 of the 65 (Aave, Shadow Exchange and Lombard); the other 62 rest on NAUT's chain tag.
How does Sonic relate to Fantom?
Sonic is the EVM-compatible layer-1 that took over from Fantom. Decrypt's report on the Sonic mainnet launch says "Fantom and its FTM token are officially transitioning to Sonic and the S token." At launch, Sonic Labs claimed "10,000 transactions per second (TPS), sub-second finality", per the same Decrypt report. Its official X account is @SonicLabs, the handle NAUT stores on its Sonic (prev. Fantom) page.
The Fantom lineage still shows in NAUT's data. 2 live Fantom-era rows carry no Sonic tag: Fantom Maker, a launchpad and incubator focused on the Fantom Opera chain by its own description, and FantomStarter, a fundraising app. Neither carries a launched-token flag on NAUT.
Which Sonic ecosystem projects are on NAUT, by sector?
The 65 projects on Sonic split into 6 groups by the first sector tag on each NAUT page. Each table lists the launched token ticker (or None), the sum of the project's round records with the round count in brackets and the number of chain tags NAUT holds for it. Projects are in alphabetical order inside each group.
DeFi: 24 projects
23 of the 24 carry a launched token, and 22 have funding records summing to $1.02B on NAUT's record, $636M of it at Flying Tulip. Lombard brings Bitcoin to Sonic: the Sonic Labs blog says "On Sonic, you can deposit LBTC or wBTC into Rings, which will mint scBTC." Aave deployed its lending markets on Sonic, per a March 2025 report in The Block.

How much has the Sonic ecosystem raised on NAUT's record?
52 of the 65 projects have funding records with an amount on NAUT, summing to $1.82B across their round records, with a median of $14.8M per project. The 10 largest sums below add up to $1.25B.
These are sums of every round record NAUT holds for each project, token sales (IDO, IEO and ICO records) included, so a page's own summary text can give a different figure. Flying Tulip's 8 records include a $200M seed record and a $200M ICO round on CoinList record, while its summary says it raised $200M via a seed round from DWF Labs, Nascent, Lemniscap and others. InfinEx's summary gives $67.7M from its Patron NFT sale, against $87.5M across 4 records. Biconomy's summary says $22.6M (NAUT's 9 records sum to $35.3M), Solv Protocol's says over $11M (10 records, $22.4M) and Sentio's gives $6.4M in seed funding plus $200K from an IDO (3 records, $6.8M). Safe's summary says it raised $100M in a strategic round led by 1kx, while NAUT holds no round record for it.
