Soneium is a next-generation Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain created by Sony Block Solutions Labs with a focus on scalability, security, and ease of use, with the aim of supporting a wide range of applications.
“We believe that developing a comprehensive blockchain-based Web3 solution is very important for the Sony Group, which has developed a wide variety of businesses under its goal of ‘filling the world with emotions, through the power of creativity and technology,’” said Jun Watanabe, President of Sony Block Solutions Labs. “We will work to create diverse businesses and new use cases with the aim of delivering customer value that only Web3 technology can benefit as many users as possible and making people’s lives richer and more colorful.”
Built on the Optimism Foundation’s Op Stack, Soneium is fully EVM compatible, making it accessible to developers looking to build and scale high-volume applications.
Sony Block Solutions Labs is gearing up to launch the Soneium testnet, which will provide developers with their first opportunity to work directly with the blockchain. In the coming weeks, Soneium plans to release technical documentation that will outline the platform’s features and provide the tools and SDKs needed for developers to start developing on Soneium immediately.
