Pike Private Testnet Phase 2 - Sonic Expansion
April 3rd, 2025

Following an incredible Phase 1 of the Pike Private Testnet, we are taking a major step forward by integrating Sonic, a high-performance blockchain, into the Pike Private Testnet. This reinforces our commitment to connecting cutting-edge blockchain ecosystems. Join us and apply for the test now.

Why Sonic?

While last year’s beta testnet was about building community awareness, Phase 2 is where we go deeper. This phase is our proving ground, a “temperature check” for DeFi friendly networks such as Sonic, with room to welcome more ecosystems later. We are stress-testing Pike to ensure it’s robust, efficient, and ready for mainnet deployment. Sonic’s blazing speed, focus on DeFi innovation and scalability align perfectly with Pike’s goal: delivering efficient, low-cost, multichain lending.

What is Pike?

Pike isn’t just another lending protocol, it’s a modular money market built for the multichain future. Whether you’re navigating EVM or non-EVM liquidity, Pike empowers lenders, borrowers, and traders with secure lending, smooth swaps, and groundbreaking cross-chain features. Here’s what makes Pike stand out:

  • Composability: Built-in stable asset DEX functionality simplifies swaps and supports diverse collateral, from blue-chip tokens to DEX LP and self-pegging assets (SPA).

  • Modularity: Pike’s modular architecture enables rapid market expansion, isolates risks, and integrates new assets and protocols with ease.

  • Capital Efficiency: Innovative cross-chain functions boost yields and minimize liquidity fragmentation for native assets.

What is New?

Thus far in our private testnet campaign, we uncovered 1 verified bug and gathered 5 feature suggestions after extensive testing. Now, we’re leveling up by adding:

  • Sonic: A lightning-fast, scalable EVM Layer 1 blockchain. Sonic’s quick transactions and low costs cut lending expenses and enhance user experience making it a game-changer for Pike’s multichain vision.

  • Core Features: Supply, Borrow, Repay, and Withdraw with USDC, WETH, and wstETH.

  • Coming Soon: Graph functions and a full activity tracker will roll out in future updates.

Who Can Join?

This exclusive phase of the private testnet is available to a select group of users who:

  • Sonic fans or anyone curious about high-performance blockchains

  • DeFi innovators eager to push boundaries

  • Users with lending protocol experience

  • Testers ready to dive in and share sharp, actionable feedback

With Sonic in the spotlight, we’re testing Pike in a high-speed, low-cost arena. Your insights will refine Pike, ensuring it’s ready for the public launch for lenders and borrowers.
