Sony has officially launched Soneium, its Layer-2 blockchain platform, marking a bold step into the digital asset space.
Built on Ethereum and leveraging cutting-edge technology like OP Stack and Superchain, Soneium aims to break barriers, foster global collaboration, and empower creators by offering a seamless blockchain experience.
Launched by Sony Blockchain Solution Labs, Soneium already boasts over 14 million accounts and 47 million verified transactions. It supports applications ranging from gaming to financial services, positioning itself as a versatile hub for innovation. Stablecoin issuer Circle has partnered with Sony to bring USDC to the platform, further enhancing its Web3 capabilities.
Two major projects accompany Soneium’s debut. An NFT-based fan engagement platform by SNFT Inc., launching February 2025, will allow businesses to manage NFT campaigns with ease, offering integrated wallets for a seamless user experience.
Additionally, the revamped S. BLOX platform (formerly WhaleFin) enhances crypto trading and payment functionality within Soneium’s ecosystem. As part of its launch, S. BLOX is rewarding new users with ¥3,000 in Bitcoin for crypto trades.
Sony’s foray into blockchain highlights its commitment to innovation, fostering inclusive digital experiences and bridging technology with creativity on a global scale.
