Sony has launched Soneium™, a blockchain infrastructure designed to integrate Web3 services into everyday life.
Soneium aims to address the challenges that have limited the use of decentralized applications (dApps) and NFT marketplaces. Sony is positioning Soneium as a public blockchain that can engage a broader audience by focusing on scalability, cost-efficiency, and user-friendliness. The goal is to make decentralized technology an integral part of users' digital lives.
Soneium is built as a Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum, providing faster transaction processing, reduced fees, and compatibility with existing Ethereum-based smart contracts. Sony envisions Soneium as a platform that strengthens the relationship between creators and fans, introducing mechanisms to protect intellectual property and share profits. The platform will also introduce innovative entertainment services and enhanced NFT marketplaces.
Sony is open to strategic collaborations with developers and companies worldwide to accelerate the development of Soneium-powered applications and services. The leadership of Jun Watanabe and Sota Watanabe is driving Sony's blockchain initiatives, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional and decentralized digital experiences. Sony's entry into Web3 with Soneium represents a step towards integrating blockchain technology into daily activities.
