Solana Optimistic Network ($SOON) is set to launch on the Alpha mainnet on January 3, 2025. The project aims to address blockchain scalability and efficiency issues using its innovative separated SVM technology, which promises a 50 millisecond block time and 30,000 transactions per second. $SOON employs a "co-builder" financing model to attract investors, including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko. The ecosystem includes applications like wallets, DeFi, cross-chain bridges, and payment systems, with project tokens usable in DeFi and cross-chain payments.
