The Japanese technology giant Sony has made an important move in Blockchain technology by launching its own platform, Soneium. Developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs (SBSL) in collaboration with Singapore-based Startale Labs, the platform is built on the Ethereum infrastructure.

Built on Layer-2 technology, Soneium has successfully completed a comprehensive testing process. After four months of testing, the platform provides access to 14 million wallets, offering developers the opportunity to perform economical and fast transactions.

SBSL officials emphasize that Soneium aims to bridge the gap between web2 and web3 users. The platform is specifically designed for content creators, followers, and communities. Soneium, which prioritizes user experience, aims to make Blockchain technology a part of everyday life.

The technical infrastructure of the platform utilizes Optimism's OP Stack technology. This technology allows for low-cost and fast transactions. Major cryptocurrency projects such as Coinbase, Kraken, Uniswap, and Worldcoin also use the same technology. The Optimism Foundation provides financial support to organizations using its technology, but the amount of support given to Sony has not been disclosed.

This initiative from the 78-year-old technology giant is seen as a concrete example of the increasing interest of traditional companies in Blockchain technology. In an industry where platforms like Polygon and Arbitrum also offer similar support, competition is observed to be intensifying.
