Sony launched a layer 2 network on top of Ethereum to create an entertainment layer on top of the Web3 financial layer. The network is open to all creators and protects the rights of creators while ensuring a fair distribution of value between creators and consumers.
Media and entertainment giant Sony, through its subsidiary Sony Block Solutions Labs, has launched a Layer 2 network on Ethereum called Soneum. The network aims to power the digital creator economy using Web3 technology.
The network is built using the OP Stack (Optimism Foundation’s Blockchain Development Kit), which uses chain abstraction technologies and methods to bring ordinary users to Web3 without needing to understand the underlying technology. onboard to.
Another important touchpoint for Sota Watanabe, head of Sony BSL, is the protection of intellectual property rights. Soneum is built with mechanisms to protect these rights.
According to Watanabe’s post on That’s not the case. Let’s create a meme culture that doesn’t infringe on intellectual property rights!”
We are creating a home for all creators inside and outside web3. Meme coins are important to culture and I love them, but intellectual property infringement is not. Let’s create a meme culture that does not infringe on intellectual property rights!

Unlike other major consumer brands whose involvement with Web3 is primarily limited to NFTs, Sony aims to provide the infrastructure for the next evolution of the creator economy.
Soneum also launched Spark, an incubator program that will select 32 projects from a list of 1,700 projects to debut on the new network.
Soneum recently launched its mainnet, and during its testnet phase, which lasted for four months starting in August 2024, it recorded over 14 million users and over 50 million transactions.
