SoneVibe Progress Updates, Milestones & Community Feedback on Astar/Soneium

[Amil_Gaoul]

Hello Astar and Soneium Community,

As Amil Gaoul, founder of SoneVibe a native DeFi platform building on Astar and Soneium I am excited to open this dedicated thread for ongoing progress updates, milestone reports, and open community feedback.

SoneVibe is committed to driving real utility, TVL, and user friendly experiences across the ecosystem. We launched early on Soneium to capture the massive potential of Sony backed mass adoption (gaming, entertainment, automotive), while maintaining strong roots in Astar EVM for seamless cross-chain value.

Our vision: Become the go-to fortress DeFi hub with sustainable, organic real yield no farmed emissions, pure fees from actual usage.

Recent Milestones & Updates (January 2026):

1. Blue-Chip Pools Live on Soneium & Astar Mainnet

• New pairs: WETH/ASTR, USDC/ASTR, DOT/ASTR.

• Low initial TVL (~$260-310) means massive early APR opportunities (estimated 15-40%+ as volume scales organically).

• All pairs powered by resilient oracles with on-chain fallback for maximum security.

2. MVP Analytics Dashboard Launched

• Live tracking for all pools: Prices, liquidity, volume, and oracle health.

• Direct link: SoneVibe | Analytics Pro

• Transparent and user-focused – monitor your positions in real time.

3. Full Wallet Compatibility

• Seamless support for MetaMask, Trust Wallet (mobile), and Nova Wallet.

• No friction for Astar/Soneium users.

4. Marketplace Growth: Astar Degens Listings

• Direct, seamless access to high-potential Degens NFTs.

• Native wrap/unwrap ASTR to wASTR via built-in Swap – no external bridges, low fees, fast.

• Growing listings as indexing stabilizes (SubQuery, Graph, OnFinality integrations live).

5. Core Features Driving Utility

• Swap: Blue-chip and emerging pairs with competitive fees.

• Lending/Borrowing: Secure markets for real yield farming.

• All sustainable: Fees flow to LPs and treasury – pure organic growth.

Community Feedback & Early Traction

- TG channel buzzing: Users asking for direct Degens access, wrap guides, and pair suggestions – live support always available: Telegram: View @SoneVibe

- Organic transactions: 35+ daily arbitrage/txns already, even at low TVL.

- We’re hiring: Builders welcome to contribute to the roadmap.

This thread will serve as our regular update hub: Monthly/weekly reports on TVL growth, new pairs/integrations, security audits, and ecosystem contributions. I invite all holders, stakers, builders, and community members to share feedback, suggestions, or questions here.

How can SoneVibe better serve Astar/Soneium users? What pairs or features next? Let’s build together.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hi @Amil_Gaoul, first of all, I want to congratulate you and thank you for building within the Astar ecosystem. I wish you all the best for the growth of your project.

My questions mainly focus on two points:

1. To acquire a significant user base, you’ll need an action plan that covers everything from marketing to collaborations and other strategies. What do you have in mind for this?

@Amil_Gaoul

security audits

2. What is the current progress on this? I see this as a vital point, considering how sensitive the handling of user funds is and what happened with Neemo. I want to avoid at all costs that something like this happens again within our ecosystem.

[Amil_Gaoul]

Hello @Juminstock

Thank you for the kind words and for the continued support from the Core Team. I truly appreciate you taking the time to engage with our progress.

Your questions on user acquisition and security are exactly the right focus points, especially in light of past incidents like Neemo. We are building SoneVibe with long-term sustainability and ecosystem safety in mind.

Here is a detailed response to both points:

1. Action Plan: User Base Acquisition & Growth
   Our strategy is fully focused on organic, community driven growth rather than paid or mercenary capital. We prioritize sticky users who understand and value real yield.

• High Touch Community Support: Our Telegram channel is live with constant support to guide users through wrapping, swapping, lending, and marketplace navigation. We respond to every question and use feedback to improve UX daily.

• Content & Education: Regular X threads and forum updates highlight milestones, explain features (example, how to wrap/unwrap ASTR seamlessly), and showcase analytics. We are preparing simple text guides and walkthroughs to lower the entry barrier for retail users.

• Strategic Integrations & Collaborations:

  • Deepening Astar Degens listings and marketplace access to drive cross-community traffic.
  • Leveraging Soneium’s gaming and entertainment potential as the underlying liquidity layer.
  • Cross promotion within Polkadot/Astar channels to attract liquidity from adjacent ecosystems.

• Early Incentives: High organic APRs on low TVL pools (WETH/ASTR, USDC/ASTR, DOT/ASTR) reward early LPs. We are exploring loyalty mechanisms for consistent providers to encourage retention over short term farming.

2. Security Framework & Progress
   Security is non negotiable, and we approach it with extreme caution.

• Battle Tested Foundation: Core lending logic is based on Compound V2/V3, which has secured billions in TVL over years without major incidents.

• Internal Rigor: Custom modules have undergone extensive testing, including over 1,000 transaction simulations with Foundry fuzzing, robust reentrancy guards, and redundant on-chain oracles.

• Guarded Launch Phase: We are operating with strict supply caps on all assets to limit exposure. Emergency guardian mechanisms allow instant pauses if needed standard best practice for early mainnet phases.

• External Audit Roadmap: A comprehensive audit with a reputable firm is planned for 2026, before removing caps or guardians. We will share progress as we finalize partners.

• Ongoing Invitation: We welcome informal review from white hats or community members and are open to bug reports at any time.

We remain fully committed to transparency and safety. If the Council or community has additional suggestions or questions, this thread and our channels are always open.

Let’s continue building a stronger ecosystem together.

Update:

We just built an updated version from our pools analytics front-end which shows the user lp position and share in our protocol and also use a special math formula to estimate the volume and tx on chain until we build a dedicated indexer with SubQuery and the Graph for tacking the tx like Dexscreener. Dexscreener shows aprox 70 txs 24/h in our Soneium ASTR blue-chip pairs and we show 60 aprox with no indexed only pure hard math code​, also the volume estimation is nearly the Dexscreener one : we show 4 usd volume, Dexscreener shows 5-7 aprox 24h.

The TVL we show is the real on-chain special calculated by using the help of our live resilient oracles on Astar and Soneium, we also built an on chain fallback to guarantee show metrics all time. Here is a live screenshot from Trust Wallet mobile app connected to astar analitycs and Soneium with our SoneVibe live oracles enabled.

Thank you.

We keep Building

Okay, sounds good. I’m glad to hear that you have a full structure in place to secure users’ funds. I’ll be following this closely, awaiting a successful external audit.

@Amil_Gaoul, one last question: you speak in the plural referring to your team, who are they? I think it’s vital to know the members that make it up.

[Amil_Gaoul]

Hello Carlos,

Thank you for the direct and important questions. Transparency is essential for trust in our ecosystem, especially after incidents like Neemo, and I appreciate the Core Team’s focus on it.

To answer clearly and honestly:

The Team & Identity
“Amil Gaoul” is my forum handle. I am Dennis (@Real_Dennis_S_F on X) – the same person.

Many early community members may remember me from Astar’s OG days (2022, Toga era). I was deeply passionate and active then, but I also made serious mistakes. In moments of frustration (feeling my ideas weren’t heard or opportunities missed), I reacted immaturely with impulsive posts and conflicts that led to my ban from the forum and community channels.

That time away was a hard but valuable lesson. It taught me that real contribution comes from building and resilience, not drama or complaints. I reset my approach to focus on shipping value quietly and consistently.

Current Structure: Solo Founder
SoneVibe is currently a solo-founded project, fully bootstrapped.

• I have been self-employed in crypto since early 2020 (entering when BTC was around 9k and ETH 285), which allowed me to fund development independently.
• My background is in Computer Science (University of Havana degree), with experience in teaching mathematics (patience/logic) and sales/communication roles that built resilience and user-focused skills.
• As solo founder, I handle smart contracts (forks and custom modules), front-end UX, and community management.

Commitment to Value
My return to contributing visibly is about proving change through actions. SoneVibe focuses on tangible utility for Astar and Soneium users:

• Seamless integrations like native wrap/unwrap ASTR and direct Degens listings.
• Real organic yield from fees, high early APRs on low-TVL pools, and transparent analytics.
• Guarded launch with supply caps and rigorous internal testing for safety.

I am fully open to any further questions from the Core Team or community. My goal is simple: continue delivering features that drive TVL and user experience while supporting the broader ecosystem.

Let’s keep building together.

I understand, @Amil_Gaoul. Thank you for this transparency.

I have no further questions or comments. I’ll let the community engage with your post and allow the conversation to flow .

[you425]

I’m also an OG in the Astar ecosystem, so I remember Dennis from back then. Our main point of contact was the Forum, and compared to that period, things have been moving in a much more constructive direction recently. I also appreciate the speed at which development has been progressing.

Although there was a time when he was effectively pushed out due to past circumstances, I think it’s great to see him now able to engage positively and move forward like this.

That said, since he’s working largely on his own, it does seem likely that there are resource constraints—especially on the marketing and BizDev side, as well as on smaller but important application-level refinements.

Aside from those concerns, I have a generally positive view of the recent activities. Whether it will ultimately succeed as a product, however, is a separate question.

[Matt]

Constructive thread all around. Props to Dennis for owning the past and shifting the focus to building, the recent SoneVibe pace and integrations on Soneium/Astar show it’s in execution mode, not just hype. The solo-founder constraint is real though → most DeFi projects eventually hit bottlenecks on polish, BD, and user growth rather than code.

As an Astar Degens NFT holder and council member, I mainly care about products that give users actual things to do in the ecosystem. SoneVibe is trending that way, now it’s about whether it can sustain and scale.

Update:

We just built SoneVibe swap on Polkadot Mainnet!

We’re live there.

“ We also built the canonical temporarily WDOT(wrapped DOT)contract to unblock builders “

This: 0xaf905e66038EcE89e03D843B35a11D262053B630

At tx: Polkadot Hub transaction 0x377f1245ba0f3c22f026d0e4e2fab61e06ddc9c0b1654b28344c60e0762eeac4 | Blockscout

This is an important step moving forward to our creation of core pairs like ASTR/DOT pioneering in the Polkadot evm mainnet.

Why this matters for Astar ecosystem:
ASTR/DOT pair potential: With Polkadot Hub as liquidity backbone (high security, XCM native), we can create deep ASTR/DOT pools that benefit Astar by burning % lp fees rewards.
Unification advantage: One DEX across Polkadot Hub (L1), Astar (parachain EVM), Soneium (OP L2) → shared liquidity, lower fragmentation, better arbitrage, unified TVL.
Deflationary boost: a % Fees from ASTR/DOT swaps can feed back into ASTAR token burn/staking or add/redirect for stronger incentives for Astar dApp stakers.
We’re deploying our own canonical WDOT (WETH9-style) to unblock pools, but official wrapper from Parity would be ideal for ecosystem consistency.

Excited to collaborate: Astar builders, would like to co create ASTR/DOT liquidity DM or reply here.
Let’s build the unified DeFi layer together Astar + Soneium + polkadot Hub.
