Sony Group has collaborated with Startale to launch Soneium, a public Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, as a means to extend its presence in the blockchain industry.
Soneium’s objective is to enhance the accessibility of Web3 technologies and seamlessly incorporate them into everyday applications, providing users with the benefits of blockchain.

Soneium leverages the Op Stack provided by the Optimism Foundation to improve scalability and efficiency while upholding Ethereum’s robust security measures.
Sony’s objective of “enriching the world with emotion through creativity and technology” is in line with Soneium’s design, which serves diverse industries globally and fosters a developer-friendly atmosphere that promotes innovation.
Soneium will facilitate cutting-edge applications in the fields of entertainment, gaming, and finance, providing novel experiences enabled by blockchain technology. Sony is committed to providing a comprehensive development environment, which includes a testnet that replicates real-world conditions for meticulous testing before project deployment. Sony is dedicated to assisting developers and creators by providing extensive documentation and third-party tools to ensure their success.
Sony has established collaborations with prominent entities in the blockchain industry, including Optimism, Chainlink, Alchemy, Circle Internet Financial, and The Graph.
These agreements aim to integrate a wide range of technologies and services into the Soneium platform, positioning it as a primary point for fostering innovation and enhancing user interaction.
