Soneium is Sony's blockchain-based solution aimed at improving creator and fan interaction, but its IP protection features have drawn criticism from decentralization advocates.

What is Soneium

Built on the OP Stack from the Optimism Foundation, Soneium is a layer-2 blockchain solution designed to bridge the gap between web2 and web3 users. The platform integrates Sony’s NFT-based Fan Marketing Platform and Soneium Spark, offering unique blockchain-based collectibles and experiences to fans.

Community Backlash

The launch of Soneium prompted backlash due to its policy of restricting certain blockchain activities. Many voiced concerns over its practice of blacklisting addresses linked to potential IP violations or harmful activities.

How Soneium’s Censorship Features Work

Soneium has implemented a system to address unauthorized IP use and potentially harmful activities. Suspected violations result in the contract's address being added to a 'Suspected' list, initiating a warning period. If unresolved, the address faces activity restrictions.

Soneium’s Response

Soneium's team defends its policies, emphasizing a commitment to decentralization and creator protection. In the wake of community backlash, they reiterated their commitment to maintaining web3's core values.

Despite the initial backlash, Sony's push to integrate blockchain technology into daily life could set a precedent in web3. Time will tell if Soneium can achieve its goals of a fairer and more connected digital world.
