<a href="https://fantom.foundation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Fantom Foundation</a> has introduced a new revolutionary upgrade called Fantom Sonic, which will allow the network to reach unprecedented levels. Compared to its predecessor, Opera, Sonic is expected to reach throughputs of 2,000 TPS or more. This is because of a combination of a new virtual machine, enhanced database storage, and optimized consensus.

Before the upgrade’s expected mainnet deployment in the spring of 2024. The team is now granting access to the Fantom Sonic testnet environment. So that consumers and developers may experience the breakthrough speed for themselves. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-major-improvements">Major Improvements</h3> 
Moreover, the enhancement is the most recent move in <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/fantom-ftm-price-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fantom’s</a> effort to enhance the core platform without opting for sharding or other layers. Fantom Sonic’s testnet is now live and can be observed at the project’s main website. 
The size of a validator node may be decreased from over 2,000 GB to 300 GB. While the size of an unpruned archiving node can be reduced from over 11 TB to under 1 TB, drastically reducing storage needs. With the cost of storage reduced, anybody may deploy validator nodes with much faster synchronization times and support for live pruning. 
The new Fantom Sonic Client, which validators and other nodes will utilize to power the network, incorporates the updated technological stack. Which consists primarily of the Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM), Carmen database storage, and a refined Lachesis consensus mechanism. 
What this means is that there will be no need for a hard fork in order to upgrade. Since Sonic is just the next version of the Fantom network. The Fantom Virtual Machine (FVM) is entirely compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (<a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ethereum-dapps-settle-on-solana-with-neon-evms-closed-beta/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EVM</a>). And, also its programming languages (<a href="https://soliditylang.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Solidity</a>, Vyper, etc.). Therefore any smart contracts, services, or tools that were built on Fantom Opera should work just fine with the Fantom Sonic mainnet.
