Journey
Starting from zero

Overview
Soneium is Sony Block Solutions Labs' Ethereum Layer-2 — a joint venture between Sony Group and Startale Labs, built on the OP Stack. Mainnet launched January 14, 2025 after the Minato testnet drew 14M wallets. The thesis: bring Sony's entertainment, gaming, and IP empire onchain, bridging Web2 audiences to Web3.
- Use cases
- Entertainment IP: NFTs, fan engagement, tokenized IP
- Gaming and consumer apps via Soneium Spark incubator
- Payments and mini-apps (Startale App, privacy features)
Funding & investors
| Investors | Round | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sony Innovation Fund ($13M, Jan 2026), Sony Network Communications ($3.5M seed, 2023), UOB Venture Management, Samsung Next | Corporate / strategic · 2023–2026 | ~$20M disclosed (Startale) | Verified |
Funding is into Startale (the co-developer), not a token round. $13M Sony Innovation Fund investment (Jan 2026) brought Startale's disclosed total to ~$20M.
Tokenomics
- No Soneium token announced as of the last verification date.
- Sony has discussed stablecoin plans for 2026 (crypto payments on PlayStation) — separate from any chain token.
- Any "Soneium token" claim is unverified.
Earning activity
Public testnet (Aug 2024–Jan 2025) with 14M+ wallets and 47M+ transactions before mainnet.
Developer incubator with funding/support from Sony subsidiaries and Web3 partners.
Risks
- No token and no token plan — nothing to farm directly.
- Launch controversy: Soneium restricted some contracts over IP concerns, drawing decentralization criticism.
- Corporate-chain risk: priorities follow Sony's business, not crypto-native incentives.
- Entertainment thesis unproven at scale onchain.
Ozero's take
analysisSoneium is the most "real company" L2 in the set — Sony distribution, 500M transactions, actual IP to tokenize. But there is no token and no farm. I track it as infrastructure to watch (especially the 2026 stablecoin/PlayStation angle), not as an airdrop target.
