Lesson 5

Strategic Plan and Future Outlook

The final module covers Sonar’s upcoming developments including non-EVM chain support, decentralized identity (DID), advanced AI automation, DAO governance, builder tools, and the mobile app. It also discusses community engagement strategies such as contributor rewards, Sonar Academy, and governance participation.

The Vision Ahead

Sonar is not just adding features—it is building a future where Web3 becomes truly usable for everyone. Imagine a user checking their portfolio, launching a token, joining a DAO vote, and bridging assets across chains—all from one dashboard and with help from AI suggestions. That’s where Sonar is heading. The roadmap reflects this ambition: simplify crypto management, unify fragmented tools, and give users full control, all in one place.

Expansion of Chain Support

Today, managing assets across multiple blockchains often means juggling tools, wallets, and dashboards. Sonar is working to remove that friction. While it already supports popular EVM chains like Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon, the next step is to integrate non-EVM chains such as Solana, Cosmos, and Near. This will allow users to manage and analyze all their holdings—regardless of chain—from a single interface. It’s a key move toward making Sonar the go-to dashboard for all of Web3.

Decentralized Identity (DID)

Sonar is also planning to roll out decentralized identities (DIDs) that give users a persistent, secure profile across the entire platform. These profiles won’t rely on centralized databases – instead, they will be stored on-chain and move with the user. This makes onboarding smoother, personalization smarter, and the overall user experience more secure. A user’s preferences, transaction history, and risk profile can follow them across Studio, Terminal, and Portal without needing to start over or reconnect apps.

AI Automation and Decision Support

Sonar’s AI engine is getting smarter. Currently, it helps users make decisions based on asset performance and portfolio risk. Soon, it will go deeper – analyzing NFTs, liquidity pool tokens, and even real-world asset tokens. The AI will provide recommendations like when to rebalance, when to reduce exposure to risky tokens, or how to diversify based on sector trends. Imagine receiving a real-time alert: “This LP token is underperforming – do you want to swap or reduce exposure?” That level of support is coming, and it will work across all asset classes in a portfolio.

Sonar DAO and On-Chain Governance

Governance is about to become fully decentralized with the launch of the Sonar DAO. PING token holders will soon be able to submit proposals, vote on major decisions, and shape how the platform evolves. Voting will happen on-chain, and results will be visible in a transparent governance dashboard. Whether it’s approving new chain integrations or deciding on funding allocations, the community will have a direct say.

Builder Tools and Developer Support

To help Web3 developers build better tools, Sonar is creating a builder dashboard with APIs, SDKs, and access to its indexing engine. Developers will be able to test and deploy dApps, get verified, and earn PING incentives for maintaining high-quality integrations. This will turn the Portal into a curated ecosystem of reliable tools, helping users discover trusted apps and helping builders find their audience—all in one space.

Mobile App Rollout

Sonar’s mobile app is in development and will include all the major features of the web version. Users will be able to view portfolios, manage assets, receive AI recommendations, and even vote in the DAO – all from their phone. With push notifications, biometric login, and chain-agnostic support, the app will make sure users never miss an opportunity or risk signal, even while on the move.

Community Engagement

Sonar engages with its community through Discord, Telegram, X (formerly Twitter), and newsletters. These channels are open spaces for feedback, questions, and collaboration. AMAs, demo sessions, and community calls are held to keep users informed and involved.

Learning and Support
The Sonar Academy provides structured learning resources for both beginners and experienced users. The platform offers tutorials, walkthroughs, and real-world examples to help users make the most of Studio, Terminal, and Portal. For technical issues or guidance, the support team is available via tickets and public forums.

Governance Proposals
As the DAO launches, users will be able to submit and vote on proposals using their PING tokens. Every proposal will be tracked and recorded on-chain, so users can monitor progress, outcomes, and influence decisions. This creates a transparent and user-driven feedback loop that ensures the platform grows in the direction the community wants.

Contributor Incentives
To reward meaningful contributions, Sonar offers PING-based rewards for developers, beta testers, educators, and moderators. Whether it’s identifying a bug, creating a guide, or building a tool, contributors can earn real value while helping the ecosystem grow. This approach builds a more invested, high-quality user base and supports sustainable platform growth.
