Japanese electronics giant Sony is moving up a gear in Web3 with the launch of Soneium, its Layer 2 blockchain based on Ethereum. 🧩 This solution, developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, promises to integrate blockchain into our daily uses, making Web3 more accessible to the general public. 💡

Innovative technology 🔗

Soneium is built on Optimism’s OP Stack, an open-source modular framework that optimizes scalability and accelerates transactions on Ethereum. ⚡ The public testnet, called Minato, is now available, allowing developers to build Ethereum-compatible dApps in an interoperable environment. 🤝 The network also relies on Astar’s zkEVM protocol, increasing its efficiency.

A program to boost the ecosystem 💰

Sony is offering an exciting incubation program with funding of up to $100,000 💵 to support developers and startups that will build on Soneium. Targeted sectors include decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, video games 🎮, and the metaverse. 🌌

All this is supported by strategic subsidiaries such as Sony Music and the Sony Innovation Fund, which provide expertise and support. 🎶💼

Sony, a key player in the digital future 🌍

With Soneium, Sony demonstrates its determination to become a key leader in Web3. By combining its technological strength and global presence, Sony is paving the way for wider adoption of blockchain. 🏆
