đ„ BREAKING: SONY launches own testnet and Web3 incubator!!!
Sony is stepping up its game in the Web3 world! Sony Block Solutions Labs (Sony BSL) has just launched the Soneium Minato public testnet and Soneium Spark incubator, marking a significant move into blockchain technology. Developed by Sony's Singapore-based subsidiary, Startale Labs, the layer-2 Soneium blockchain made its debut last week, showcasing Sony's most ambitious Web3 project to date.
The Soneium Spark incubator is set to offer a treasure trove of benefits for developers, including investment opportunities of up to $100,000. Additionally, developers can tap into support from Sony Group, Astar Network, and Startale. âOfficial support from Sony Group, Astar Network, and Startale,â promises Sota Watanabe, director of Sony BSL.
Soneium Spark participants wonât just benefit from cash investments. Astar Network, a key partner of the new blockchain, alongside Web3 heavyweights like Circle, Optimism, Alchemy, The Graph, and Chainlink, will provide extensive support. Soneium, using Optimismâs OP Stack, is set to foster a dynamic community. Sony's own subsidiaries, from music and film to gaming, are getting involved, bringing a diverse range of expertise and innovation.
Sony's collaboration with Startale began in June 2023, with a $3.5 million investment from Sony Network Communications. This partnership marks Sony's deeper foray into the blockchain, leveraging Astar's Polkadot-based parachain expertise. Sony's involvement in the metaverse with Epic Games, and its ventures into NFTs and stablecoins, shows its commitment to becoming a key player in the Web3 space.
