On January 14, Japanese corporation Sony announced the launch of its Soneium blockchain mainnet, aimed at supporting artists and fostering more direct interactions with their fans.

A Platform for Artists and Fans

Soneium's mission is to help creators enhance their engagement with fans using blockchain technology. Sony's vision for the platform centers on providing tools like NFT-based fan engagement systems and an incubation program called Soneium Spark. The platform is designed with chain abstraction in mind, allowing users to avoid interacting with complex technology.

Breaking Barriers in Web3

Sony emphasizes creating an entertainment layer on top of Web3. Sony BSL Director, Sota Watanabe, explained that while Web3 is often seen as finance-oriented, the entertainment sector has immense potential to connect people. By adding an entertainment component over blockchain, Sony aims to lower technological barriers and make Web3 more accessible and appealing.

What's New in the Soneium Mainnet?

Following a successful test phase, the Soneium network transitioned to its main launch phase. Thirty-two projects were selected to participate in the Soneium Spark incubation program, covering a variety of fields such as entertainment, gaming, and finance.

Sony plans to actively develop its offerings for creators and their fans. The launch of new applications and projects based on Soneium is expected to occur throughout January and February 2025.
