Sony’s blockchain network has seen a 10x surge in its monthly active addresses since February 2025 as user activity rises.
Soneium, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, has seen a parabolic surge in network activity over the past 90 days. Following its launch on January 14, 2025, the Soneium Minato testnet recorded over 47 million transactions, engaging more than 14 million active addresses.
The joint venture project between Sony, under Sony Block Solutions Labs and Startale Labs, is gaining traction, deploying over 834,000 smart contracts alongside 89 million transactions in Q1. According to Token Terminal data, the network has seen its active addresses surge 10x since February 2025.
The network aims to provide scalable, developer-friendly blockchain infrastructure by leveraging Optimism’s OP Stack to boost transaction speed and minimize fees. Integrations with platforms like Uniswap enable users to swap, bridge, and provide direct liquidity from the Uniswap Web App and wallet.
Soneium’s emergence is Sony’s strategic move into the Web3 space as blockchain adoption gains ground. The company aims to bridge traditional digital experiences with emerging decentralized technologies through this network.
