# Official references & channels

Use this page to distinguish official SONIC development, product, announcement and community channels from unofficial accounts or third-party content.

## Canonical domains

| Surface           | Official URL                   | Purpose                                                                                                                           | Status                  |

{% hint style="warning" %}
Older SONIC website or application domains are deprecated. Do not use them as canonical links in product UI, documentation, email templates, OAuth redirect allowlists, CORS configuration, wallet metadata, social profiles, release manifests or marketing campaigns.

## Official references

| Channel                       | Reference                         | Purpose                                                                                                         | Status                          |

| X                             | @SonicAIWorks                     | Primary public channel for official SONIC information, announcements, product updates and status communication. | Official                        |
| Telegram                      | <https://t.me/+DsJSBq-4wn03NDU0>  | Current community/development Telegram group.                                                                   | **Private**                     |
| Public Telegram               | TBA                               | Planned public community/announcement channel.                                                                  | Planned                         |

| YouTube — Development         | TBA                               | Product development, demos, technical updates, tutorials and build progress.                                    | Planned / channel reference TBA |

## Domain authority

The canonical domain contract is:

```
public web  → https://sonicnetwork.fun
product app → https://sonicnetwork.app
docs        → current published GitBook documentation host
```

Links emitted by the application, emails, metadata, structured data, wallet/deep-link handoff and OAuth flows should resolve from configuration rather than being duplicated as arbitrary string literals across feature code.

## X as the public information channel

Until additional public channels are formally published, **@SonicAIWorks on X is the primary public social reference for official SONIC information and announcements**.

Information posted by unrelated accounts, token listings, permissionless markets, unofficial Telegram groups, copied websites or third-party social profiles should not be treated as official solely because they use the SONIC name, logo or ticker.

## Telegram notice

The currently referenced Telegram invite is **private**. Access may be limited and the group should not be described as the public SONIC community channel.

A separate public Telegram presence is planned. Its official username/link remains **TBA** until published through SONIC's verified documentation or official X account.

## YouTube channel separation

SONIC plans separate YouTube communication surfaces so creator promotion is not mixed with engineering/development content.

### Creator & Promotion channel

Intended for:

* SONIC/community-created music;
* AI music videos built from creator songs and lyrics;
* creator spotlights;
* release promotion;
* Shorts and social campaigns;
* challenge/community showcases;
* collaborations and ecosystem media.

Participation or promotion does not automatically create reward eligibility. Reward eligibility follows the rules and funding of the applicable program.

### Development channel

Intended for:

* product demos;
* development updates;
* AI Studio workflows;
* technical explainers;
* Solana/SONIC integration progress;
* tutorials;
* release walkthroughs;
* architecture and developer content.

The final channel URLs are **TBA** until the channels are formally published.

## Publication rule

A new social, community, media or product domain becomes an official reference only after it is published through an already verified SONIC source and added to the canonical documentation/reference registry.

Recommended verification path:

`sonicnetwork.fun ↔ sonicnetwork.app ↔ official docs ↔ official X`

This reduces impersonation risk and prevents private, experimental or placeholder channels from being represented as public production channels.

## Security notice

Official channels will never make a wallet connection, signature request, token transfer, presale payment or reward claim valid by themselves. Users must verify financial actions through the official SONIC product, deployment registry and documented transaction flow.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sonic-ai-works.gitbook.io/sonic-networks-docs/documentation/reference/official-references-and-channels.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
