Wu said that Sonic'$s Chief Strategy Officer, SonicAssistant, revealed that Wintermute was notified 24 hours ago that their market making (MM) contract will not be renewed, ending a 5-year partnership. Sonic has engaged with other market makers, and the new partner will provide MM++ services, deeply participating in the $DeFi ecosystem, supporting application growth, engaging in global community activities, and maintaining proactive communication. SonicAssistant stated that supporting only centralized exchanges (CEX) can no longer meet the ecosystem'$s needs.
