A digital media empire spanning movies, music and games, with 116 million active users and more than 150 million video game devices sold worldwide
Sony is the 131st most valuable company in the world with a market capitalization of $117.45 billion and revenues of $87.483 billion between June 2023 and June 2024.
II. Ecological map
In less than a month, Soneium has announced the development or integration of more than 60 projects. With the support of Sony's global influence, the vision of mainstream users, and the Spark plan, more projects are about to be launched. Next, we will introduce them one by one, classify them, and give an overview of the rapidly developing Sony chain ecosystem.
1.SocialFi
Yay!
Yay! is a popular Web2 social platform that aims to be a virtual world where users connect through their interests. Since its launch in 2020, it has over 9 million users and over 100,000 online communities.
In August 2023, Yay! began to transform into a Web3 Social-Fi application, first integrating Worldcoin, and then collaborating with leading Web3 protocols such as LayerZero.
Yay! Announced the cooperation with Soneium and migrated to the network for the first time. Also launched an ETH staking activity with a limit of 1000 ETH (which can be unstaked at any time). Participants will have priority access to future benefits (such as native tokens and NFTs), and the quota is full.
Metadomo
Metadomo is a decentralized "loyalty points" trading platform that connects users' points from traditional loyalty programs (airline miles, credit cards, telecom points), game points, and global merchants (global 100,000 merchants). Spending points on the platform earns the native token $DOMO.
Built on the Soneium network, the product has not been launched and no coins have been issued.
Layer3
Layer3 is an innovative Web3 task platform. Compared with top task platforms such as Galxe, its advantage for project parties lies in its ability to aggregate user activities across multiple chains and dApps, generate a unified view of identity on the user chain, and achieve highly targeted and efficient token distribution.
Currently, the platform has over 4 million users and social interaction data has exceeded 100 million.
Layer3 released the task activity of exploring Soneium for the first time, exploring the Soneium Minato testnet through asset cross-chain, joining Discord and other tasks. Currently, there are more than 47,000 participants.
2.GameFi
Heal3
Heal3 is a health-themed GameFi based on Astar zkEVM. Players need to purchase NFT clothing (tops/pants/shoes) and earn $GHT tokens through sleep, diet management, and outdoor activities. The rarer the NFT, the more token rewards, which can be used to upgrade or trade NFTs.
As one of the few operating GameFi in the Astar ecosystem, although it has not been announced yet, it is highly likely to migrate to the Soneium network.
Derby Race
Derby Race is a horse racing prediction game based on Soneium, strictly speaking, it is a GambleFi product under development. The team has previously developed similar games xDerby Raffle and Derby On-chain Race.
Metapro
Metapro (Meta Protocol) is an innovative platform focused on GameFi. Its main functions include development portal (providing GameFi power builder), Launcher (game launch and token publishing), and Web3 wallet (an asset wallet suitable for the Metapro game ecosystem).

The currency has not been issued yet, and the specific construction method on Soneium has not been announced yet.
Sony has just established a blockchain department and launched the Ethereum Layer-2 network Soneium. Some domestic users call it "Sony Chain" and are committed to providing an open internet for creators.
Let's get to know 🧵
Quickly understand the Sony chain
Soneium is an Ethereum Layer-2 co-founded by Sony and Startale Labs, the latter of which is known for developing Japan's largest public chain, Astar Network.
Soneium is a universal blockchain platform for creators and developers. Startale provides its professional blockchain development knowledge to build and expand using Sony's global influence.
Soneium is built on OP Stack and integrated with Optimism Superchain.
Going mainstream is the purpose of Sony Chain. Soneium's official promotion has mentioned "Go Mainstream" more than ten times, and cleverly borrowed the abbreviation GM (Go Mainstream) most commonly mentioned by Web3 users, which is deeply welcomed by Web3 users. Who says people from Web2 giants don't understand Web3?
Soneia x Astar Network
Astar Network is reshaping its Astar zkEVM as Soneium L2 (migrating rather than simply renaming), unleashing new potential. As announced, partnering with Sony Group enables Astar to leverage its expertise in entertainment, gaming, and finance to integrate Web3 technology into real-world applications, reaching a wider audience.

The rebranding promotes the development of the Astar ecosystem, enhances interoperability, and increases the value of $ASTR through higher sorter revenue, broader client base, and greater practicality.
$ASTR will provide support for the Soneium ecosystem, but the Gas token will still be $ETH. Soneium has no plans to launch a native token in the near future.
Minato testnet and Spark incubation program
The Soneium Minato testnet was launched on August 28th as a testing ground for developers and creators to build and experiment with dApps.
