[ Sonic's FlyingTulip vs Aptos's Decibel ] A major project comparison between Sonic and Aptos. Both projects aim to establish themselves as the flagship trading infrastructure of their respective chains, with a goal of achieving CEX-level performance. While they share the same objective of making on-chain transactions fast and efficient, there are differences in their technical approaches and target strategies. ! ======== First, let's look at Sonic's FlyingTulip. FlyingTulip is the next-generation integrated exchange from Sonic Labs. It combines key trading features such as spot, perps, options, and lending, and supports liquidity including nftUSD. The developer is Andre Cronje, who created Yearn and Fantom, and the project itself is receiving significant expectations from the Andre Cronje name. The core is a hybrid model that combines adaptive AMM and CLOB. Prices are automatically adjusted based on market volatility, and AMM and limit orders operate in the same pool to maximize efficiency. It features up to 1000x leverage, delta-neutral pools, staking-based liquidity provision, and a regulation-friendly design. The goal of FlyingTulip is to implement performance similar to CEX on-chain. Combined with the speed of the Sonic chain, which has sub-second finality, it aims to enhance capital efficiency and LP yields, providing a trading experience that reduces slippage.! ======== Next is Aptos's Decibel. In contrast, Decibel is a fully on-chain CLOB engine launched by Aptos. Developed in collaboration with Aptos Labs and the Decibel Foundation, it is currently in the Devnet stage of testing. The goal is simple: 'Implement CEX-level speed on-chain.' Decibel has set aggressive performance targets of sub-20ms block time and one million orders per second. All orders, matching, and settlements are executed on Move-based smart contracts, ensuring deterministic execution with price-time priority logic. Additionally, it supports cross margin, multi-collateral, and vault structures, aiming to provide infrastructure usable by both institutional traders and protocol developers.. The roadmap is also clear. After Devnet, it plans to encourage user participation through testnets and point programs, and is planning a token event alongside the mainnet launch in 2026. This aligns with Aptos's strategy to position its ecosystem as a 'global trading engine.' ======== Conclusion While FlyingTulip and Decibel may appear to be similar trading infrastructures on the surface, they actually target different audiences. FlyingTulip focuses on retail and liquidity innovation, introducing a unique model of AMM+CLOB hybrid. On the other hand, Decibel aims to serve institutional traders and act as an infrastructure hub with its ultra-fast CLOB execution engine. Ultimately, both Sonic and Aptos are planning large-scale Dapps at the chain level. Sonic is expanding its user base through a retail-friendly, innovative liquidity model, and Aptos is targeting institutional demand with a thoroughly performance-based approach. The final outcome will depend on ~~~ the execution capability and market adoption speed, and both projects are preparing for the next-generation on-chain trading paradigm in their own ways.! @Aptos @SonicLabs
