IMPORTANT POINTS:
Soneium Launched: Sony Introduces Ethereum-Based Layer 2 Blockchain Aimed at Improving Web3 Experience
Boosting Creators and Users: Soneium will focus on attracting new users and supporting content creators through rights protection and new earning mechanisms.
Web3 Services Expansion: The platform will allow interaction with web3 games, NFT markets and other entertainment services.
Sony Moves Forward into the Future with Blockchain Technology
In a recent press release, Sony Group has announced the development of “Soneium,” a new Layer 2 blockchain based on Ethereum (ETH), marking a significant step for the company into the web3 realm. This initiative reflects Sony’s commitment to integrating blockchain technology to deliver a more seamless, secure and decentralized experience for users.
Sony’s strategy with Soneium is focused on providing end-to-end web3 solutions, from infrastructure to application layer, thus offering more than just partial services. End users will have access through applications supported by the Soneium network, allowing them to interact with web3 games, non-fungible token (NFT) markets, and entertainment-related services provided by each application.
Focus on User Onboarding and Support for Content Creators
Sony also highlights that with Soneium, it will focus on attracting new users to web3 and supporting content creators. The company seeks to create use cases that spark interest from people who have never used web3 services. Soneium’s web3 technology can support the expansion of creators’ potential and strengthen engagement with fan communities. Specifically, Sony will explore how to protect the rights to content created by creators, new mechanisms for returning profits to support creators and fans, and opportunities for creators to be active in the digital and real worlds.
Future Developments and Comprehensive Strategy
Sony has announced that it will soon launch a testnet for Soneium, although no specific date has been provided. This announcement follows Sony Group’s acquisition of Japanese digital asset firm Amber Japan in July, with plans to redesign and expand its cryptocurrency exchange platform.
