ICON is evolving into SODAX — launching its Unified Liquidity Layer on the Sonic blockchain and migrating its established DeFi infrastructure.
Today marks a major milestone: ICON has proposed its evolution to SODAX, the Unified Liquidity Layer and DeFi platform, built on Sonic. This shift consolidates ICON's original mission to promote cross-chain interoperability, while reducing blockchain infrastructure overhead. The result? Seamless, capital-efficient DeFi across more than 12 chains (EVM and non-EVM).
Our journey began with ICON, building the foundation for interoperable finance. Now, with SODAX, we’re taking the next step—migrating our hub chain infrastructure to Sonic, a high-performance EVM Layer 1 with native fee monetization. This move enables us to streamline operations, minimize costs, and focus entirely on building DeFi products without the burden of maintaining blockchain infra.
What’s Changing
Why It Matters
SODAX is built to scale: chain-agnostic, intent-based execution, and designed to unlock deep liquidity across ecosystems. By focusing on unified liquidity and sustainable tokenomics, we’re removing the barriers that slow down DeFi innovation.
For more on how we are bringing the Unified liquidity Layer to Sonic, you can find the detailed plan on the ICON Community Forum. This is just the beginning of our refreshing new take on DeFi. Stay tuned for more updates on:
