Sony Block Solutions Labs, the multinational conglomerate's blockchain subsidiary based in Singapore, announced today the mainnet launch of Soneium blockchain.
Soneium's mainnet launch follows the Ethereum-based Layer 2's testnet debut in August last year, which has seen 15.4 million active wallet addresses and over 50 million total transactions to date.
“Soneium is a public blockchain—an open network that welcomes everyone without limitations,” Sony BSL wrote in a press release.
The network, developed by leveraging Optimism’s OP Stack and Superchain, aims to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 and create a platform that is more inclusive, accessible and creative.
Soneium targets content creators, fans and communities as its main audience, as it seeks to address existing issues such as creators’ rights and equitable value distribution between creators and fans. Such initiatives include Sony’s NFT-based Fan Marketing Platform and Soneium Spark incubation program.
Sony BSL said in the release that with the mainnet launch, the company will now look to expand Soneium’s presence by exploring new frameworks and use cases that integrate digital and physical user experience.
“By simplifying blockchain interactions through intuitive platforms and real-world applications, Soneium empowers creators and users alike to embrace the next era of the internet,” said Sony BSL Director Sota Watanabe. “From protecting intellectual property to fostering global fan engagement, we’re making it easier for anyone to innovate and connect in meaningful ways.”
