PRIVACY REDEFINED: ZNS Connect Launches on Sonic Labs

3 min readOct 4, 2024

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Web3, the need for user-friendly systems is paramount. ZNS Connect is leading the way in making things simpler by creating a decentralized naming system. This system replaces long, confusing blockchain addresses with simple and easy-to-remember domain names.

Unlock a new level of Web3 with the power of .SPEED domains ✨

We’re thrilled to share that our smart contract is now live on the Sonic testnet! This marks a significant milestone, as we broaden our reach to provide decentralized identity for the whole web3 users.

An Overview of Sonic

Sonic is a new, upcoming layer-1 platform with a secure gateway to Ethereum and provides the fastest settlement layer for digital assets with over 10,000 TPS and complete, one-second confirmation times.

Sonic has identified hinderances faced by current layer-1 and layer-2 solutions that often force users to compromise on security, speed, and decentralization, relying on centralized systems that expose funds to significant risks — over $2.5 billion has been lost already due to bridge hacks.

Recognizing these systemic threats, sonic had simple goals in mind for our bridge:

Security: Ensure safety with a built-in fail-safe mechanism.
Speed: Provide a smooth user experience for easy asset bridging.
Decentralization: Eliminate single points of control, ensuring only users can access their funds.

The Sonic Gateway is a revolutionary, decentralized, trustless bridge between Ethereum and Sonic that simultaneously fulfills the three goals above.
