Sony Block Solutions Labs, the blockchain branch of Sony, has rolled out a public testnet for its new Ethereum Layer 2 network, Soneium, which is built on the Optimism Stack (Op Stack).

Alongside this, Sony is introducing a developer program to encourage innovation on the platform.

This launch marks Sony’s deeper dive into Web3, where the company plans to leverage its expertise in entertainment, gaming, and electronics to drive blockchain adoption.

Soneium aims to offer a cost-effective solution for consumer-focused applications. Early partners experimenting with the network include Circle, Optimism, Alchemy, The Graph, Chainlink, and Astar Network.
