FoMoney, a groundbreaking fully on-chain game, is thrilled to announce that we are launching our official game on Sonic Mainnet!
Let’s take a look back at our journey and unveil our vision for the future, powered by Sonic’s revolutionary Attention Capital Market, a game-changing incentive mechanism.
1. Our vision-Attention Capital Playground Built for Fun
Just like in the real-world economy, a robust financial system requires more than just capital markets, such as monetary markets (Lending, LST) or equity markets (DEX, CEX). It relies on businesses that deliver user value while sustaining revenue. FoMoney envisions the creation of an On-chain Playground capable of generating economic value for the Attention Capital Market.
We aim to build a Game Asset Layer, enabling holders of liquid staking tokens (LST) to generate yields while also engaging in immersive gameplays.
Simply put, we wish players to Play with yields and Win huge prize!
2. Our journey on Sonic Testnet and Odyssey
Since June 27, 2024, over 1 million gamers have immersed themselves in our game, generating more than 200 million on-chain transactions across Sonic Origin and Frontier, showcased the exceptional power and scalability of Sonic.
To reward our dedicated players, we’ve distributed 1 million Rings(convertible to $SONIC at TGE) through daily Top 10 leaderboards and to the top winners of our Telegram quest bot.
During testnet, many players engaged not only for the game, but also for the airdrop potential. Now, as we evolve, we realize that longevity depends on more than just great gameplay, but also sustainable incentive mechanism.
3. Turn DeFi into a playground
Now, the big question comes,
How can we design sustainable economic loops that deliver ongoing value for players who Play-to-Earn?
We decided to turning DeFi into a playground, think of it like visiting Disneyland - you either buy a day ticket or invest in an annual pass. Similarly, in our game, players can choose between flexible participation (pay-per-play) or deeper commitment (staking for long-term benefits), in our case:
players may Stake $SONIC→ Mint SONIC LST and earn yields → purchase KEY with LST for gameplay → Feed the Prize Pool → Winners win huge prize.
Crucially, 95% of the consumptions will feed a community Prize Pool rather than platform revenue, creating a player-oriented game.
We teamed up with Chaos finance (Sonic’s top liquid staking protocol), and integrated sSONIC as an in-game currency. Stake, earn, and spend—all within our game.
Now, there are over 765,589 SONIC staked through chaos, and 754,718 sSONIC circulating in the market, Own sSONIC = 6.27%APR + chaos Airdrop + Play FoMoney!
Just as Universal Studios and Disneyland harness the power of iconic IPs to draw visitors, we recognize that in Web3, we also have our cultural magnets.
Disneyland has Mickey Mouse. Universal Studio has Jurassic Park. Web3 has memes & chains—the IPs of our era, and we're building the theme parks for them!
In our game, you may choose between Chain team or Meme team, by choosing a Blue or Red pill(just like in the Matrix).
For the Sonic’s mainnet version, we’ve also embedded our native iconic IP - Chillonic in the game.
4. Powered by Sonic’s ACM
SonicSVM's Attention Capital Market mechanism operates by quantifying on-chain attention at the infrastructure level, directly measured by network validators. This provides an objective, data-driven basis for assessing a dApp's contribution to network activity. The metrics are broadly categorized into "Activity Metrics" and "Economic Metrics," which are combined in a formula to derive a dApp's final attention score, determining the incentives received.
Fomoney's design is particularly effective at capturing the core metrics within both these categories:
Economic Metrics:
- Transaction Value Flow (V): Defined as the total value of user-initiated transactions involving approved assets interacting with a program. Fomoney integrates SONIC LST (sSONIC) as the entry key for each game session. When users purchase Keys with sSONIC, this creates a direct consumption scenario for a governance-approved asset. The amount of sSONIC spent by users on buying Keys directly contributes to this crucial 'V' metric, representing tangible economic activity driven by gameplay.
- Native SONIC Staking Volume (S): This metric tracks the total amount of native SONIC staked within a program's controlled accounts. Fomoney, by integrating with Chaos Finance, the Sonic LST protocol, allows users to stake SONIC directly within the game interface to mint sSONIC. This seamless integration encourages staking, and the amount of SONIC staked by users through this in-game mechanism directly counts towards the 'S' metric, indicating user capital commitment linked to the game.
Activity Metrics:
- Direct User Interactions (I): Defined as the total count of user-signed instructions targeting the program. As a fully on-chain game, every in-game step or move a player makes in Fomoney requires a user-signed transaction to update the game's on-chain state. This means a single game session generates a significant volume of individual transactions, contributing heavily to the 'I' metric.
- Unique Interacting Wallets (U): This is the count of distinct user signer public keys interacting with the program. Fomoney's number of unique players directly and simply corresponds to this 'U' metric, measuring the breadth of the dApp's user base engaging on-chain.
- Cross-Program Invocations Received (CPI): Defined as the total invocations a program receives from other programs. Fomoney's integration with the Chaos SDK to handle sSONIC staking, minting, and transfers involves cross-program calls. The number of times the Chaos SDK is invoked by the Fomoney program on behalf of users contributes to this 'CPI' metric.
- Attributed Compute Unit (CU): This measures the total CUs consumed within the program's context. Since every move in Fomoney updates the on-chain game state via a transaction, the computational resources (CUs) required for processing these transactions accumulate rapidly. Compared to simpler dApps with fewer on-chain state changes per user action, a high-interaction FOCG like Fomoney, where every significant gameplay element is a transaction, is likely to consume a notable amount of CU, making this a relevant metric for quantifying the computational load and usage driven by the game.

Conclusion: SonicSVM's ACM: Fueling Fully On-chain Games Towards Product-Market Fit
Fully On-chain Games (FOCGs) hold immense promise for bringing complex, trustless interactions onto the blockchain, generating a rich source of valuable on-chain actions – every move and every state change potentially translates into a transaction. However, despite their technical elegance and potential for true digital ownership, FOCGs have historically struggled with a critical challenge: establishing sustainable, efficient revenue streams. Finding a model that generates consistent income to fund development, marketing, and user acquisition – the essentials for achieving product-market fit – has been elusive for many FOCG projects.
This is precisely where SonicSVM's Attention Capital Market (ACM) mechanism changes the game for FOCGs. Sonic’s ACM recognizes that the on-chain activity generated by dApps, especially the high-frequency, high-interaction nature of FOCGs, is a valuable contribution to the ecosystem. Instead of leaving FOCGs solely to their own devices to figure out monetization, Sonic's ACM provides a direct, ecosystem-level incentive, by providing ecosystem incentives based on a dApp's measurable on-chain attention.
The incentives are given for the valuable activity FOCGs generate – such as transactions per move, sSONIC usage, and attracting unique users – Sonic provides a crucial, alternative revenue stream. This allows FOCGs to reinvest these incentives into product development and acquiring more off-chain attention, creating an "attention positive loop" that fosters sustainable growth and helps overcome the historical challenge of achieving product-market fit in the FOCG space.
