According to the announcement, a Soneium testnet will be launched in the coming days, for projects and developers to begin deploying it. The platform focuses on scalability, efficiency and accessibility, and aims to solve real-world problems in various industries.
This ecosystem is expected to be a space for use cases focused on the Web3 space, with a strong emphasis on entertainment, gaming and finance.
Incidentally, the project has included Astar Network, Alchemy, Chainlink, Circle, Optimism, and The Graph as its launch partners. These partnerships will help ensure that Soneium has a solid foundation of support and resources as it launches and expands.
Regarding this, Sota Watanabe, founder of Astar Network and director of Sony Block Solutions Labs, said: “Sony Group has strong distribution channels across multiple industries and existing users in our daily lives. Through Soneium, we will make something that people want and go beyond Web3.”
Sony enters the Web 3 space through Soneium
Indeed, after announcing its plans to develop a public Blockchain almost a year ago, Sony has confirmed that it has created the new Blockchain, Soneium. It intends to use its content to develop Web3 applications in order to “spark interest among people who have never used Web3 services.” In addition to its own content, it also wants to empower creators and developers.
Sony Block Solutions Labs explained that future use cases for Soneium include protecting the rights of creator-generated content and developing new mechanisms for fair distribution of revenues between creators and fans.
A new era for decentralized applications
Commenting on this, Sota Watanabe said: “We believe that the defining moment for the entire Web3 industry will be whether we, as companies involved in Web3, can truly provide solutions that billions of people use as a matter of course in their daily lives and make Web3 a mainstream trend in the coming years.”
We’re gearing up for our testnet launch, which will provide developers with their first hands-on experience with Soneium.

He added: “We believe that Soneium has great potential to lead the world and realize this vision, and we would like to collaborate with a variety of developers and companies, transcending the boundaries of countries, regions and industries.”
For his part, Jun Watanabe, president of Sony Block Solutions Labs, said: “We will work to create diverse businesses and new use cases with the goal of reaching the largest possible number of users with the customer value that can only be enjoyed with Web3 technology.”
While there is no release date set by the development team, technical details about Soneium, its tools and the requirements needed for the development of products and services will be published soon.
“In the coming weeks, we will publish detailed technical documentation to help you understand the intricacies of our platform. We will provide clear instructions for testnet access, ensuring a smooth onboarding process for all interested developers.”
Finally, Sony Group’s announcement of Soneium is in line with the company’s plans regarding Blockchain and cryptocurrencies, a strategy that will include several of its currently known products and services.
I leave with this quote from Don Tapscott: “Blockchain is the technology that will allow us to take trust to a whole new level in the digital world.”
