Mandatory Node Upgrade: Sonic Labs has mandated all validators and operators to upgrade to node version 2.1.2 to enhance security and ensure network stability ahead of the Ethereum Pectra integration planned for November 2025.
Immediate Compliance Required: Node operators must act promptly to avoid network disconnection, with the upgrade also introducing native fee subsidies that benefit the network.
Market Performance Analysis: Despite the upgrade, Sonic's market performance remains bearish, with a current price of $0.16 and a significant decline of 52.79% over the past 60 days, reflecting broader market trends.
Future Implications: Experts believe that while the upgrade may not have an immediate positive impact on Sonic's market position, successful integration with Pectra could enhance its role in cross-chain applications.
