The Ethereum (ETH) layer-2 protocol developed by consumer electronics and entertainment giant Sony Group is now live.
Sony Group says the Soneium Mainnet, which is developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs and powered by Optimism Foundation’s Superchain technology, is now operational.
The Japanese conglomerate announced the development of Soneium in August of 2024.
The consumer electronics and entertainment giant says Soneium’s goal is to “provide use cases that creators and fans can benefit from” through the open and global blockchain technology.
“In this early phase, we aim to maximize creators’ creativity, benefits, and fan engagement onchain. By protecting content rights and creating fair profit-sharing mechanisms, we empower them to thrive across both digital and real worlds.
Web3 is already revolutionizing finance for the next internet, empowering hundreds of millions of people with a transformative digital experience. Now, together with creators, fans, and communities, Soneium aims to expand that experience, empowering people worldwide to collaborate, innovate, and onboard more people who have never used blockchain before.”
According to Sony Group, the Soneium testnet, which was launched in August last year, has more than 14 million active wallets and conducted over 47 million transactions.
The Japanese conglomerate also says it is integrating various blockchain infrastructure services and tools into the Soneium ecosystem. This includes SNFT Inc’s Fan Marketing Platform which is focused on using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in executing digital marketing strategies. Users of Soneium will also be able to trade crypto assets on Sony Group’s BLOX platform.
“Entertainment apps such as games, NFT, and social apps have been launched along with financial and other apps. These projects demonstrate the vast potential of web3, spanning areas like gaming, music, art, and community platforms. Each one pushes the boundaries of what’s possible when creativity meets onchain.”
