04 · exact additive research priority
What does the evidence say about Sonic?
Sonic scores 41.0 out of 100 inside Layer 1, ranked 42 of 64 rated coins on 53% evidence. The four displayed point contributions add exactly to the total; missing evidence pulls only the affected factor toward neutral and lowers its stated coverage. It ranks research attention within one theme, never portfolio action, and it is not comparable across themes.

No valuation section exists on this page, for any coin. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a token, and historical market capitalisation is not held at all — only a dated current snapshot — so no ten-year valuation band can be built honestly. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, the yield against that dated snapshot is shown above instead.

Methodology · boundaries make the answer useful
What can make this page misleading?
This page names 5 ways its own evidence about Sonic can mislead, all listed below. The largest is that crypto network activity is not company earnings: protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders. Price runs through 2026-08-21; market capitalisation is a separate snapshot dated 2026-07-04.
Crypto network activity is not company earnings. Protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders.
Market capitalisation is a dated snapshot, not a point-in-time historical supply series, so yields computed against it inherit that lag.
No valuation band exists for any coin: historical market capitalisation is not held at all.

Questions the page should answer directly
Crypto analysis FAQs
These 7 answers cover the questions this page can settle from data it holds — what the category is, how the score is built, what the coverage gaps are, and what would change the read. Every answer below is also present in the page’s FAQ schema and in its plain-text rendition. None of them is a recommendation.

Sonic is a Layer 1 cryptocurrency tracked here by price, market capitalisation and strength against Bitcoin, with on-chain activity from protocol. It is one of 78 Layer 1 coins on this site. Readings are as of 2026-08-21.
What is the market cap of Sonic?
Sonic's market capitalisation is $101.6M, ranking it 267 in the top-1,000 crypto universe. That figure is a dated snapshot from 2026-07-04, refreshed separately from the daily price series, so it can lag the price shown above.
Is Sonic beating Bitcoin?

Does Sonic have a P/E ratio?
No. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a crypto token, and no valuation band is shown on this page because the data to build one honestly does not exist: historical market capitalisation is not held, only a current snapshot. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, this page shows the yield against that dated snapshot instead.
What is Sonic's research score?
41/100 within Layer 1, ranked 42 of 64 rated Layer 1 coins, on 53% evidence: 9.6 + 15.0 + 12.9 + 3.5 = 41.0. It is labelled “Illiquid · research only”. The score ranks research attention inside one theme, never portfolio action.
How much Sonic history does this page show?
Five years of weekly closes where they exist, plus 20 complete calendar quarters of on-chain activity for the metrics Sonic actually publishes. Here that is network fees, protocol revenue.
Does Sonic generate network fees?
Sonic's trailing twelve-month network fees is $416K. Network activity is not token-holder earnings: whether it accrues to the token depends on the protocol's own burn, buyback and distribution rules.
