Sony Enters Blockchain Game with “Soneium” Launch
In a significant move, technology giant Sony has officially launched its Layer-2 blockchain platform, Soneium. This marks a major step into the blockchain space for the 78-year-old company.
Built on Ethereum using Optimism’s OP Stack, Soneium aims to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3. The platform will focus on gaming, finance, and entertainment applications, with a user-friendly design aimed at making blockchain interactions seamless for creators, fans, and communities.
During its four-month testing phase, over 14 million wallets participated in Soneium’s trials, showcasing the immense interest and potential of the new technology. Sony’s entry into the blockchain game highlights the growing trend among traditional tech firms to adopt this innovative approach.
Companies like Coinbase and Kraken have also adopted the OP Stack for their networks, benefiting from substantial grants by the Optimism Foundation.
