About Soneium
Soneium is a Layer 2 blockchain network developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, a joint venture between Sony Group Corporation and Startale Labs. Launched on January 14, 2025, Soneium is designed to enhance the scalability and efficiency of the Ethereum network, particularly for applications requiring high transaction throughput and low fees, such as gaming.
As an Ethereum Layer 2 solution, Soneium operates on top of the existing Ethereum Layer 1, handling data processing to address issues like slow data processing speed and increased fees that occur in Layer 1. It utilizes the OP Stack from the Optimism Foundation, ensuring high throughput, low fees, and seamless compatibility with Ethereum's ecosystem.
Soneium is a general-purpose blockchain platform that aims to evoke emotion, empower creativity, and meet diverse needs to drive mass adoption. It simplifies blockchain experiences while empowering developers, creators, and communities. Built on accessibility, scalability, and efficiency, it aims to solve real-world problems across industries globally.
The network's native currency is Ether (ETH), with 18 decimal places. Developers can interact with the network through public RPC endpoints. For transaction tracking and network analysis, Soneium provides block explorers.
