Infinex is entering a new stage of its token rollout with the introduction of the Sonar sale, a mechanism that gives both existing supporters and new users a chance to acquire INX before the token generation event scheduled for January 2026. The initiative builds on the momentum created by last year’s Patron NFT sale and aims to increase decentralization across the INX holder base.

Sonar will distribute 5% of the total token supply, with the sale priced based on a fully diluted valuation of $300 million, targeting a total raise of $15 million. Founder Kain Warwick noted during an appearance on The Block that the purpose of this round is to broaden ownership and invite wider participation across the ecosystem.

Continuation of the Patron NFT Momentum

The recent Patron NFT campaign spanned six networks and generated $67.7 million in sales, drawing interest from notable firms such as Founders Fund, Solana Ventures, and Wintermute Ventures. Warwick expects Sonar to carry forward that enthusiasm, giving users an opportunity to gain exposure to the superapp that Infinex is building as a central hub for crypto activity.

Participants in the Sonar sale will face a one-year lock-up period, though optional early unlocks are available for users willing to pay an additional fee. Meanwhile, approximately one-quarter of the total supply will be reserved by the Infinex treasury to support future incentive programs.

Two Participation Paths: Patron NFT Holders and General Users

Sonar introduces two different ways to join the sale, dividing eligibility between existing Patron NFT holders and the broader public.

For Patron NFT Holders

Each Patron NFT corresponds to an allocation of 100,000 INX, with tiered maximum purchase limits depending on the number of NFTs held:

• 1 Patron: $2,000
• 5 Patrons: $15,000
• 25 Patrons: $100,000
• 100 Patrons: $500,000

For General Users

Users without a Patron NFT can still participate via a lottery-based entry system. Allocation ranges from a $200 minimum to a $5,000 maximum. Infinex has stated that pre-registration for this sale will begin in the coming weeks.

Although Sonar is related to the broader ecosystem that includes Echo—acquired by Coinbase for $400 million last year—the sale itself will run independently, rather than through Coinbase’s official token launch platform.

Infinex’s Product Vision: A Unified Gateway for Crypto

Infinex positions itself as a comprehensive superapp, offering a broad suite of tools that combine wallet functions, trading, and cross-chain interactions. Its core capabilities include:

• A non-custodial multi-chain wallet supporting more than 20 networks
• Gas-free execution and cross-chain abstraction
• Integrated features for swaps, perpetuals, prediction markets, and more
• Compatibility with upcoming chains such as Fogo and MegaETH

Users can import existing wallets and consolidate assets via tools introduced on November 30. Infinex is also developing a browser extension and a passkey system for seamless authentication across devices.

The INX Token Model: Supported by Platform Revenue Buybacks

Warwick explains that the INX token adopts a revenue-supported buyback design. As Infinex generates income across its suite of products, those funds will be used to repurchase INX from the open market.

Several components of the platform are already live, with integrations that include on-chain signature support via the NEAR Foundation and cross-chain infrastructure powered by Wormhole. All treasury-related actions are publicly visible through HyperTracker, ensuring operational transparency.

Importantly, revenue generated before the token generation event will also contribute to the buyback pool, reinforcing early market demand and strengthening the token’s economic foundation.

Conclusion

The launch of Sonar is a crucial step in expanding the INX holder base and advancing Infinex’s goal of creating a widely accessible crypto superapp. By combining structured allocation tiers, transparent token economics, and a strong focus on cross-chain usability, Infinex is setting the groundwork for a more robust token launch in 2026. Sonar establishes the momentum that will carry the project into its next phase of growth and wider community adoption.
