Sony’s Long-Awaited Ethereum Layer-2 Chain to Launch in Coming Weeks

Sony is expected to release technical documentation and tools for developers, providing firsthand experience, in the coming weeks.

Sony Group has finally pulled back the curtain on Soneium, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain developed in partnership with Web3 infrastructure provider Startale.

Driven by a joint venture between Sony and Startale—known as Sony Block Solutions Labs—Soneium marks the company's initial steps towards developing a fully realized blockchain.

The network, planned for launch in the coming weeks, will initially operate on a testnet in collaboration with Astar Network, a blockchain platform known for its multi-chain capabilities.

The collaboration will integrate Astar's zkEVM assets and infrastructure with Soneium, providing initial liquidity and a range of fungible and non-fungible digital assets,the companies said in a statement on Friday.
