We are pleased to announce our collaboration with Sonic, a leading-edge EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain, to bring a new dimension of intelligence and scalability to Sonic’s dApps.
Combining Allora’s advanced AI inferences with Sonic’s powerful infrastructure sets the stage for even greater innovation at the crossroads of AI x Crypto.
Sonic’s Scalability Meets Allora’s Advanced AI
Sonic, previously known as Fantom, is a high-performance EVM-compatible layer-1 blockchain designed for speed, scalability, and security. Capable of processing over 10,000 transactions per second with sub-second confirmation times, Sonic is well-suited to meet the demands of real-time AI applications. Its Sonic Gateway provides secure access to Ethereum’s liquidity through a decentralized bridge, ensuring asset safety with built-in fail-safe mechanisms.
Allora organizes its intelligence into focused topics where ML models collaborate, compete, and refine their outputs. By aggregating insights based on historical accuracy, Allora produces a unified “meta inference” that surpasses the performance of individual models. This approach allows developers to monetize their AI models and explore new applications built on adaptive intelligence.
Sonic’s strong infrastructure handles even the heaviest workloads, while Allora’s smart models provide accurate, real-time inferences. Together, we create the perfect space for innovation across a diverse range of applications, from DeFi to gaming and beyond.
Boosting AI Capabilities: Collaboration Highlights
To support this initiative, Sonic is providing a $50,000 grant to Allora. This funding is structured to maximize impact:
- $25,000 will support projects leveraging Allora’s AI-powered inferences;
- $25,000 will drive the development of new topics and models, further expanding the ecosystem’s capabilities.
This investment underscores Sonic’s trust for Allora’s leading-edge AI solutions and a shared mission to push the boundaries of DeAI. Through this collaboration, Allora will equip Sonic’s developers with an advanced suite of AI-powered solutions, opening the door to groundbreaking use cases that were once beyond reach:
- Sophisticated AI-Powered Yield Strategies: Allora enables developers to design intelligent yield strategies by leveraging accurate forecasts for price, volatility, liquidity, and interest rates. These capabilities empower applications in areas like automated liquidity provisioning, leveraged farming, intelligent DCAing, dynamic trading strategies, and adaptive fee structures.
- Real-Time, AI-Driven Risk Management: Protocols on Sonic can utilize Allora’s aggregated risk models to enhance risk management in real-time. Features such as dynamic loan-to-value ratios, adaptive liquidation thresholds, unified liquidity, and automated downside hedging become accessible, improving both security and user experience.
- Accurate Pricing for Long-tail Assets: Allora’s AI infrastructure excels at providing reliable real-time price feeds for traditionally challenging asset classes, including small-cap tokens, NFTs, real-world assets (RWAs), carbon credits, and real estate. Advanced techniques like upsampling ensure that even illiquid markets benefit from precise pricing data.
“Integrating Allora’s AI-powered inferences with Sonic’s blockchain equips developers with advanced possibilities to build a wide array of applications,” says Nick Emmons, Co-founder and CEO of Allora Labs*. “dApps can enhance liquidity management, implement price prediction models, and unlock many other use cases. By bringing AI-powered inferences on-chain, we’re opening up numerous possibilities for innovation within the Sonic ecosystem.”*
Building the Next Era of Decentralized Applications
The combination of Allora’s advanced AI inferences with Sonic’s blockchain is a big step forward for the industry.
“We’re excited to partner with Allora to bring advanced AI capabilities to Sonic’s ecosystem,” says Sam Harcourt, Business Development Lead at Sonic. “By combining Sonic’s speed and scalability with Allora’s adaptive intelligence, we’re enabling developers to build transformative apps in DeFi, gaming, and beyond, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with blockchain technology.”
With Allora’s self-improving AI network and Sonic’s fast, secure blockchain, developers can build AI-powered applications that are smarter, quicker, and more flexible than ever.
