Sony and Startale Labs are preparing to launch Soneium, focusing on scalability and mainstream blockchain adoption.
Soneium will support a developer-friendly environment, with technical guidelines for platform tools expected soon.
Future plans for Soneium include protecting digital rights and establishing fair profit-sharing models for creators.
In an innovative leap, Sony Block Solutions Labs, in partnership with Startale Labs of Singapore, is set to introduce a new Ethereum layer-2 blockchain network named Soneium. This initiative marks a significant milestone as Sony continues expanding its digital finance and blockchain technology footprint.
Strategic Expansion in Blockchain Technology
Following a notable 10% profit increase supported by its gaming and music divisions, Sony is set to launch Soneium project as noted by CryptoRand. The project aims to boost the utility of blockchain applications in entertainment, finance, and gaming.

Moreover, the collaboration with Astar Network will integrate its zkEVM with Soneium for the testnet phase. The integration with Astar Network’s zkEVM for the testnet phase is a strategic move designed to enhance the blockchain’s initial liquidity by leveraging Astar’s assets and infrastructure.
Commitment to Digital Rights and Fair Profit Sharing
In addition to its blockchain developments, Sony has made efforts in digital finance. The company’s acquisition of Amber Japan and filing of a patent for a system designed to transfer and use digital assets across gaming platforms highlight its strategic direction.
These initiatives underscore Sony’s dedication to innovation in digital asset management, focusing on protecting creators' content rights and ensuring equitable profit distribution between creators and their fans.
