Consensus and security
Sonic uses a validator network and a proof-of-stake model. Security depends on stake distribution, validators, upgrades, bridges, governance and the code of deployed applications.
Fees and performance
Fees are designed for frequent and fast use cases, but they vary with network demand, transaction type, contracts used and current parameters. Real-world costs should be checked at time of use.
