By open-sourcing ForgeX’s AI-native execution toolkit, Sonic SVM brings institutional-grade liquidity management and 100-wallet coordination to the broader Solana ecosystem,
The Sonic SVM Foundation announced Thursday it has acquired ForgeX and
open-sourced its flagship product, the ForgeX CLI, in a move designed to democratize
institutional-grade liquidity management and token operations on the Solana blockchain.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
The ForgeX CLI is an on-chain market-making and execution toolkit tailored for Solana
developers and artificial intelligence agents. By open-sourcing the software, Sonic aims to
lower the barrier to entry for projects seeking to launch tokens, coordinate wallets, and
manage decentralized exchange (DEX) liquidity without relying on expensive, proprietary
infrastructure.
“This acquisition and the open-source release of ForgeX CLI represent a natural evolution in
our strategy to provide builders with best-in-class on-chain infrastructure,” Sonic CEO Chris
Zhu said in a statement. “By making this technology openly accessible, we are lowering the
barriers to advanced token operations and enabling a broader set of builders, teams, and AI
agents to participate in and scale on-chain markets.”
The toolkit addresses a persistent challenge in decentralized finance (DeFi): the “execution
gap” between token creation and initial market buys, which is frequently exploited by
automated trading bots. ForgeX CLI mitigates this by enabling atomic developer buys and
same-block trading, ensuring projects can secure their own token launches more effectively.
A notable feature of the open-sourced toolkit is its focus on artificial intelligence
integration. According to the company, ForgeX CLI is “AI-native by default,” producing
structured JSON outputs for every command. This design choice allows autonomous AI
agents to interpret the data and execute trading strategies or manage liquidity directly,
bridging the gap between AI and on-chain finance.
The software also allows developers to coordinate up to wallets simultaneously and
manage trading volume without draining internal reserves, as buys and sells net within the
same transaction. Security measures include AES-encrypted keys and mandatory dry-run
checks prior to high-risk actions.
PandaSkiing, the founder of ForgeX, emphasized that joining Sonic will allow the
technology to reach a broader audience.
“Sonic’s dedication to enabling developers through fee monetization and its world-class
technical infrastructure is the perfect setting for our technology to succeed,” PandaSkiing
said. “We look forward to helping all devs own and operate their own liquidity to create a
more sustainable DeFi ecosystem.”
The ForgeX team will transition into the Sonic ecosystem to continue developing and
maintaining the CLI toolkit alongside Sonic engineers.
Sonic SVM, backed by $ million from investors including Bitkraft and Galaxy Interactive,
positions itself as the first Solana Virtual Machine designed for consumer applications and
hypercasual games. The network currently reports over $ million in Total Value Locked
(TVL) and more than million unique addresses.
The open-source release of ForgeX CLI is available immediately on GitHub, with Sonic
anticipating widespread adoption across the Solana ecosystem in the coming months. The
acquisition further solidifies Sonic’s infrastructure stack, which already includes
integrations with major protocols like Chainlink and Pyth.
