Questions:

1. After operating for close to 5 years, Fantom officially becomes Sonic. What changes does it bring technically and ideologically?

2. What are the trade-offs to achieve finality of (under) 1 second on Sonic? Are there any?

3. Please tell us more about $S staking. We heard its entry barrier is far more affordable than that of Ethereum.

4. The CTO of Sonic Labs is Andre Cronje, the famous father of DeFi. How does his 'test in prod' philosophy affect Sonic?

5. Sonic is tapping into unsecured loans with on-chain credit scores. What mechanisms will Sonic implement to prevent defaults on loans and to collect the loans back?

6. What are the new trends Sonic pursues in public chains and DeFi?

7. Please tell us about Sonic's post-launch roadmap. We hear you aim for the mainnet release in December. What's next?

8. Where do you see Sonic in another 5 years?

9. What's your advice for Synopsis viewers?
