- Sonic Labs and Coineasy focus on local education and workshops to help Korean builders better understand Web3 and real-world DAPP usage.
- Sonic Labs partners with Galaxy and GSR to expand the Sonic Ecosystem to support early-stage Defi projects.
The latest move to partner with Sonic Labs' Coineasy to expand its reach in Korea is more than just a normal expansion. Behind this partnership is a rather unique strategy. It's a local community-based approach.
Meanwhile, Korea is known to have a strong digital ecosystem. However, it is not yet easy to approach domestic developers and users, especially when it is only through promotions.
Korea has just begun
We are proud to partner with @SonicLabs to activate the next wave of builders and users.

Human approach to Web3 adoption in Korea
Through this collaboration, Sonic Lab and Coiny are trying different passes. They focus on in-person education, community meetings and technical materials tailored to the local context.
So it doesn't just present technology and want people to be interested, but it builds that interest from scratch by providing an understanding of smart contracts, tokenization and real-world DAPP usage.
From the outside, this may all look like merely a brand positioning effort. But imagine you are a local developer in Seoul who was previously confused about the world of Web3. Suddenly there will be a Korean workshop session where you can teach directly from the basics. It's clearly different from simply reading a white paper in English to spin your mind.
Sonic Lab taps Galaxy and GSR to expand its reach
Furthermore, Sonic Labs' commitment to developing its ecosystem can be seen through the big steps it has made in the past few months. Earlier in the year, they introduced points programs through Rings assets such as SCUSD, Sceth, and Stkscusd. This is a model that allows users to directly interact with the protocols they build and earn returns.
Later, at the Sonic Summit in Vienna in early May, they sold $10 million worth of S-Tokens to Galaxy to Galaxy, a global digital asset company known for having a rather extensive institutional network.
The goal is not only to add additional funding, but also to strengthen Sonic's position in the US market. Galaxy itself reportedly supports connections with other institutions, particularly in the still growing Defi sector.
Not only that, but on May 22, Sonic Labs also collaborated with GSR, a regulatory-based Crypto Capital Market Firm. GSR not only provides liquidity to the S-Token ecosystem, but also supports new projects that want to enter the market through strategic guidance. They even attended the Sonic Summit and publicly showed their support.
Meanwhile, CNF previously reported that Soniclabs has launched 200 million token airdrops to users and developers. This shows that Sonic Labs is beginning to get bold by openly reaching out to audiences around the world.
But of all these international steps, I feel that the approach to the Korean community through Coineasy is the most “humanitarian”. Probably because it's close to grassroots. Compared to other Crypto projects where Sonic Labs' strategies can emerge from blue, it feels like an invitation to work together rather than a one-way campaign.
