Sonic's multi-season rewards mechanism, distributing ~200M $S via points (for DeFi activity/holding) and gems (for apps/devs), provides valuable lessons for game chain investments.
It slashes user acquisition costs by rewarding participation and loyalty (up to 3x multipliers), attracting organic users at near-zero or negative expense—far below traditional gaming UA benchmarks.
Deflation logic transitions from initial emissions to sustainability: fee monetization returns 90% to builders while directing portions to token burns/buybacks, creating deflation as network activity grows.
This fosters genuine engagement and long-term value accrual, making chains with phased, activity-tied incentives more investable than pure hype-driven models.
