Sony Block Solutions Labs, a partnership between Sony Group and Startale Labs, has introduced a new L2 blockchain called "Soneium," targeting devs in entertainment, gaming, finance, and other sectors. The testnet, set to launch with Astar Network, will feature collaborations with Web3 leaders like Optimism and Chainlink. This initiative is part of Sony's broader strategy to integrate Web3 technologies across its business lines, following previous efforts like incorporating NFTs into gaming. The project aims to bring Web3 to the mainstream by leveraging Sony's vast distribution channels and user base. Source: Cointelegraph
