Sony Block Solutions Labs has officially launched the Soneium Mainnet, a Layer 2 blockchain solution built on Ethereum. Announced on January 14, 2025, this platform aims to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, making blockchain technology more accessible for creators and developers.

Soneium leverages the OP Stack and Superchain developed by the Optimism Foundation, focusing on intuitive design to simplify blockchain interactions. This user-centric approach is designed to empower individuals and communities, allowing them to innovate and collaborate more effectively.

The launch follows a successful testnet phase, which attracted over 15 million active wallets and facilitated more than 50 million transactions. Soneium is envisioned as a foundational layer for a decentralized internet, enhancing real-world applications like protecting intellectual property and fostering global fan engagement.

With its commitment to inclusivity and creativity, Soneium seeks to redefine how users interact online. The platform also introduces initiatives such as an NFT-based Fan Marketing Platform and a crypto exchange service, further enhancing user engagement and opportunities for creators.
