According to BlockBeats, on September 8, Startale Labs CEO Sota Watanabe announced on social media that the Sony L2 Network Soneium Spark Incubation Program has received more than 300 applications within two days. Watanabe expressed his excitement over the overwhelming response but also raised concerns about the potential workload if the current application rate continues until the end of the month. He noted that if the trend persists, the program could receive up to 3,000 applications, which might be challenging for Startale and Sony to manage.
