Sonic posted that according to its token economic model, the protocol can mint 47.625 million S tokens each year for ecosystem growth, with the first allocation minted on June 18, 2025. However, Sonic stated that this year the annual issuance was not carried out, and it is promoting that the S token supply will no longer continue to be inflationary. https://t.co/WnbTNmFsK9
3 major board members are leaving @SonicLabs:
→ Andre Cronje
→ Michael Kong
→ David Richardson
And while the resignations are unfortunate, the timing matters even more because this is happening while price, TVL, and sentiment are already weak ( $S is trading about 97% below its ATH ).
Feelsbadman, but I don’t think this means Sonic is dead.
The engineering team is still active and Sonic said around 400 meaningful code updates were merged in 2026, so they are def still kicking from the dev side.
However, it does mean Sonic now has to rebuild confidence without its strongest public technical figure: Andre Cronje.
I’m curious to see the rebound here, TBH, this is usually the part of the market where winners are made anyway.
