TikTok users who play the tap-to-earn game SonicX will soon receive $SONIC tokens as part of an airdrop scheduled for January 2025.
Released in October 2024, the game has attracted more than 2 million players and integrates blockchain technology through the Solana-based Sonic SVM platform. This initiative is a step forward in connecting blockchain gaming with social media platforms by leveraging TikTok’s global reach.
Unlike many blockchain-based games, SonicX provides a seamless experience for players unfamiliar with cryptocurrency. With the upcoming airdrop, SonicX aims to reward its growing user base while spotlighting the tap-to-earn gaming trend.

SonicX is a tap-to-earn game where players earn rewards by tapping the screen repeatedly. These rewards can be used to earn in-game items, power-ups, and improve your leaderboard rankings. The game is designed for simplicity and accessibility, making it suitable for casual players.
The game’s visual style is inspired by classic video game characters, but is not officially affiliated with any existing franchise. SonicX has become popular due to its integration with TikTok, which allows players to participate without extensive setup or technical knowledge.
When you log in through TikTok, a cryptocurrency wallet is automatically created for you to participate without traditional blockchain complexities.
