The Ethereum (ETH) layer 2 protocol developed by consumer electronics and entertainment giant Sony Group is now live.
Sony Group announced that the Soneium mainnet, developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs and based on the Optimism Foundation’s superchain technology, is now live.
The Japanese giant first announced the development of Soneium last August.
Sony says the goal of Soneium is to “deliver use cases that creators and fans can benefit from.”
“In this initial phase, we aim to maximize creator creativity, benefits, and on-chain fan engagement. By protecting content rights and establishing fair benefit-sharing mechanisms, we help content grow in both the digital and real worlds.
Web3 is already revolutionizing finance for the next generation of the Internet and delivering transformative digital experiences for hundreds of millions of people. Now, Soneium aims to scale these experiences with creators, fans, and communities to empower people around the world to collaborate, innovate, and get on board even more people who have never used blockchain before.”
Sony Group said the Soneium testnet, launched last August, has more than 14 million active wallets and has conducted more than 47 million transactions.
The Japanese giant also revealed that it is integrating various blockchain infrastructure services and tools into the Soneium ecosystem. This includes SNFT Inc’s fan marketing platform, which focuses on using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to execute digital marketing strategies. Soneium users can also trade cryptocurrency assets on Sony Group’s BLOX platform.
“Entertainment apps, including games, NFTs, and social apps, have been launched alongside financial and other apps. These projects demonstrate the enormous potential of web3 across areas such as games, music, art, and community platforms. “Each creativity is meeting on-chain to push the boundaries of what is possible.”
