Chairman of Sony Block Solutions Labs Jun Watanabe expressed excitement about the collaboration and stated that the partnership aligns perfectly with their vision of creating a more interconnected and efficient digital ecosystem.
The Soneium platform, supported by Sony Group Corporation and Startale Labs, aims to blend blockchain technology with Sony's entertainment services. The mainnet launch is planned for 2025, currently undergoing testing.
