Sony has officially launched its Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, Soneium. Built using Optimism’s Superchain tech, this platform aims to give creators and fans new ways to interact.
Empowering Creators and Fans
Sony says Soneium is designed to help creators make more money and connect better with their fans. They plan to do this by protecting content rights and creating fairer ways to share profits. The company envisions Soneium as a way to expand the Web3 experience beyond finance, allowing for more collaboration and innovation.
Impressive Testnet Results
Before the official launch, Soneium’s testnet boasted over 14 million active wallets and processed more than 47 million transactions. This suggests significant early interest and adoption.
Expanding the Ecosystem
Sony is actively building out Soneium’s capabilities. They’re integrating tools like SNFT Inc.’s NFT marketing platform, and users will be able to trade crypto on Sony’s BLOX platform. A variety of apps are already available, covering gaming, NFTs, social media, and finance.
The Future of Soneium
Sony sees Soneium as a powerful tool for creators across various fields, from gaming and music to art and community building. They believe it can revolutionize how creators and fans interact in the digital world.
