Platform Architecture: Three-Layer Structure

Sonar is built on a three-layer architecture that mirrors the journey of a Web3 user—from initial awareness and portfolio tracking to real-time decision-making and fully personalized crypto strategy. These three layers – Studio, Terminal, and Portal – are designed to seamlessly interact with one another, enabling users to evolve from basic tracking to intelligent, AI-assisted management without ever leaving the ecosystem. This architecture forms the foundation of Sonar’s identity as a Web3 operating system, rather than a single-use tool.

Each layer offers a distinct set of functions tailored to different stages of user maturity, yet all are powered by the same underlying AI-driven infrastructure. This allows Sonar to deliver consistent insights and experiences whether the user is exploring DeFi for the first time or managing complex, multi-chain portfolios at scale.

Studio

Studio is the first layer of Sonar’s architecture and acts as the analytical core of the platform. It gives users a clear, consolidated view of all their assets across multiple blockchains and wallets. But Studio goes far beyond simple portfolio tracking. At its heart lies Sonar’s AI-powered Portfolio Intelligence engine, which continuously processes live data from across the Web3 landscape to generate actionable insights.

This means users can see more than just their wallet balance—they can understand the performance of each asset in context. Studio calculates metrics like volatility, drawdowns, and asset correlations to help users see where they might be overexposed or missing opportunities. It’s a space designed not only for clarity but for education, helping users make sense of the often overwhelming world of decentralized finance.

Whether someone is holding a few stablecoins or managing a dozen DeFi positions, Studio brings all the information together in an interface that is intuitive, real-time, and deeply insightful. It is the starting point for understanding one’s digital financial footprint.

Terminal

While Studio is focused on visibility, Terminal is where users take action. This second layer is Sonar’s execution hub, enabling users to trade, swap, stake, and bridge assets across both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized (DeFi) platforms, all from a single, streamlined interface.

Terminal connects with major centralized exchanges as well as on-chain protocols, allowing users to manage their entire crypto portfolio without jumping between apps or copying wallet addresses. Trades are context-aware, meaning they are informed by the data and insights surfaced in Studio. If a user’s portfolio shows excess risk, for instance, Terminal can offer rebalancing options and allow those trades to be executed instantly.

By integrating CeFi and DeFi in one space, Terminal removes a major pain point in crypto investing: fragmentation. Users are no longer forced to use separate dashboards, trackers, and execution tools. Instead, they benefit from seamless coordination between analytics and action—whether they’re managing yield farms, staking tokens, or reallocating assets between exchanges.

Portal

The third and most forward-looking layer of Sonar is Portal. While Studio offers visibility and Terminal provides control, Portal introduces personalization, adapting the Sonar experience to each individual user.

Portal is where Sonar becomes not just a platform, but a strategic assistant. It draws on behavioral patterns, transaction history, and portfolio insights to customize the user interface and recommendations. This means that a beginner might see curated educational content and low-risk opportunities, while an advanced trader could be offered complex simulations, trend alerts, and governance options.

More than just a dashboard, Portal functions as an intelligent assistant powered by Sonar’s AI Agent Network. These agents do not wait for commands, they actively analyze the user’s strategy, flag issues, and suggest improvements. Portal also serves as the discovery engine for the broader Sonar ecosystem, highlighting trending dApps, new tokens, and personalized opportunities across Web3.

Importantly, Portal evolves with the user. It learns continuously and adapts accordingly. For DAO members and active traders, it can serve as a hub for governance, automation, and smart contract execution. For newcomers, it acts as a safe learning environment with built-in guidance.

Through Portal, Sonar delivers on its vision of borderless finance – an experience where users aren’t just participating in crypto, but doing so with confidence, clarity, and personalized intelligence.

AI Integration

Sonar uses artificial intelligence to improve how users manage their digital assets. The AI system in Sonar is built to support three main areas: risk assessment, portfolio rebalancing, and personalized insights.

Risk Assessment

Sonar’s AI constantly reviews a user’s portfolio to identify risks. It monitors things like price volatility, exposure to specific assets, and interactions with smart contracts. If a user is holding too much of a risky asset or engaging with unaudited contracts, the system will highlight these risks. It helps users avoid potential losses by pointing out issues before they cause damage.

Portfolio Rebalancing

Over time, market changes can shift the balance of a user’s portfolio. For example, if the value of one token increases sharply, it may take up too much space in the overall portfolio. Sonar’s AI tracks this and suggests adjustments. The system can simulate different rebalancing options and show how they would affect performance. Users can then choose whether to take action or not. The goal is to keep the portfolio in line with the user’s original strategy.

Personalized Insights

Sonar’s AI also learns from how users behave on the platform. It keeps track of things like how often they trade, which tokens they follow, and how they respond to market changes. Based on this information, it provides suggestions and alerts tailored to each user. These insights are meant to support decision-making without overwhelming the user with too much data.

For new users, the suggestions are basic and educational. For experienced users, the system provides more advanced insights and tools. As users continue to interact with Sonar, the AI adjusts its recommendations based on their habits and preferences.

Smart Contract Tools

Sonar includes a no-code smart contract builder called Add3. This tool is designed for users who want to create blockchain applications but don’t know how to write code. With Add3, anyone can launch smart contracts for common Web3 use cases directly from the Sonar platform.

The Add3 interface is simple and structured. Users can choose from pre-configured templates and adjust key settings such as token supply, contract duration, staking rewards, vesting schedules, and permissions. Once the settings are filled out, Add3 automatically generates and deploys the contract to the blockchain.

Staking Contracts

Add3 allows users to launch staking pools without needing to hire developers. These contracts can be configured to accept specific tokens, distribute rewards over time, and set limits on who can participate. The contract includes built-in options for lock periods, reward rates, and withdrawal penalties if needed. This gives token projects and communities a quick way to reward users and increase token utility.

Vesting Contracts

Sonar’s Add3 tool also includes support for vesting contracts. These are commonly used by projects to distribute tokens to team members, investors, or early supporters over time. Users can select when the vesting starts, how long it lasts, and how often tokens are unlocked. This helps ensure transparency and trust in token distribution.

Token Launch Tools

Using Add3, projects can launch their own tokens through a guided process. The system supports ERC-20 token creation, including naming, supply, decimals, and ownership settings. These tokens are automatically deployed with clean, readable code and audited templates. This helps prevent errors and security issues that often come from custom code.

Security and Audits

All contract templates in Add3 are pre-audited. This reduces the risk of bugs or exploits and ensures a safer environment for users. By relying on standard, battle-tested contract structures, Sonar gives users the ability to build confidently without needing technical audits for each deployment.
