Sony to Launch Own Ethereum Layer 2 Blockchain in the Coming Weeks🚀
In the coming weeks, Sony is expected to release technical documentation and developer tools, providing a first-hand experience.
The Sony Group has finally revealed Soneium, an Ethereum layer 2 blockchain developed in collaboration with Web3 infrastructure provider Startale.
Powered by a joint venture between Sony and Startale, known as Sony Block Solutions Lab, Soneium marks the company's first steps toward developing a blockchain from scratch.
The network, planned for launch in the coming weeks, will initially operate on a testnet in collaboration with Astar Network, a blockchain platform known for its multi-chain capabilities.
The collaboration will integrate Astar's zkEVM assets and infrastructure with Soneium, providing initial liquidity and a variety of fungible and non-fungible digital assets, the companies said in a statement on Friday.
