Sony, the 78-year-old Japanese electronics giant, is the latest legacy megacorp to explore blockchain technology. On Tuesday, the company announced that it is officially launching "Soneum," a general-purpose blockchain platform.
Sony has officially launched its Ethereum Layer 2 platform, Soneium, following a testing period that lasted four months and drew in over 14 million users, the company announced Monday.
Developed by subsidiary Sony Block Solutions Labs (Sony BSL), the platform is designed to simplify blockchain interactions for creators and their audiences through tools like NFT-based fan engagement systems and an incubator program called Soneium Spark.
Its testnet phase began in August last year and processed some 47 million transactions, according to figures from Blockscout.
