Soneium by Sony Block Solutions Labs has officially been introduced in order to support the future of Web3.
Soneium, by Sony Block Solutions Labs is “building a public Ethereum layer 2 next-generation blockchain ecosystem designed to invoke emotion and empower creativity.”
Soneium will connect the blockchain technology (Web3) with the “everyday internet services (Web2).”
This connection will make things easier “for users, helping more people start using blockchain.”
Soneium is planned to stand as “a versatile, general-purpose blockchain ready to serve diverse needs across all verticals and support users globally.”
Their aim is to empower developers, creators, and communities “with a robust, developer-friendly environment backed by scalable technology.”
With Soneium, users can look forward “to innovative applications that push the boundaries of blockchain technology, competitive features in the existing Ethereum layer 2 landscape, and a unique blend of entertainment, gaming, finance, and various other possibilities.”
Soneium is built on the principle that blockchain should “be accessible, scalable, efficient, and solve genuine problems.”
On Soneium, everyone is a creator, no matter “where you are or what you do.”
They dream of an open internet that “transcends cultural differences and brings together people with diverse values.”
Here, innovation overcomes social, economic, and regional constraints, allowing every idea to flourish.”
With thei community, they aim “to go mainstream with this public blockchain, empowering individuals and communities to collaborate, create, and fill the world with emotion together.”
Jun Watanabe, Chairman, Sony Block Solutions Labs said:
“We think the development of a comprehensive Web3 solution based on blockchain is very significant to the Sony Group, which has developed a wide variety of businesses under its purpose of “Fill the world with emotion, through the power of creativity and technology”. We will work to create diverse businesses and new use cases with the aim of delivering customer value that can only be enjoyed through Web3 technology to as many users as possible and making people’s lives richer and more colorful.”
Sota Watanabe, Director of Sony Block Solutions Labs:
“We believe that Sony Group’s launch of an Ethereum Layer 2 in collaboration with Startale is a pivotal moment for the entire industry. The industry has been making something web3 people want because of the lack of general user touchpoints and their feedback. Sony Group has strong distribution channels in multiple industries and existing users in our daily lives. Through Soneium, we will make something people want and go mainstream beyond web3.”
By developing the blockchain, the underlying infrastructure for Web3, it will “be possible to provide a comprehensive Web3 solution from the infrastructure to the application layer, without concluding with partial service offerings.”
In addition to applications for existing Web3 services that will be compatible with Soneium in the future, they will consider new services “that are linked to businesses within the Sony Group to create use cases that can stimulate the interest of people who have never used Web3 services, and to support the expansion of creativity and engagement with fan communities through Web3 technology.”
They will work to support creators in “expanding their creativity and strengthening their engagement with the fan community.”
Specifically, they will study the protection of rights to creativity “created by creators, new mechanisms for returning profits to support creators and fans, and opportunities for creators to be active across the digital and real worlds.”
