Sony has announced its own blockchain network named Soneium. This is a layer 2 network that has built-in collaboration with Startale Labs. The company plans to make the network available to the public and aims to create new services by leveraging the various businesses and IPs within the Sony Group. Apart from providing comprehensive Web3 solutions from the infrastructure to the application layer company will investigate how new services that collaborate with businesses within the Sony Group can be developed as Soneium-compatible apps.
“I 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 to deliver 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” said Jun Watanabe
Head of Advanced Infrastructure Business Search Department, Business Development Platform, Sony Group Corporation, and Chairman of Sony Block Solutions Labs.
“The Web3 industry is in the midst of a major transformation. We believe that the watershed moment for the entire Web3 industry will be whether we, as companies involved in Web3, can truly provide solutions that billions of people use as a matter of course in their daily lives and make Web3 mainstream in the next few years. We believe that Soneium has great potential to lead the world and realize this vision, and we would like to collaborate with a variety of developers and companies, transcending the boundaries of countries, regions, and industries” said Sota Watanabe
