Sony's Soneium blockchain launches on Uniswap, opening up Web3 to its global entertainment empire

This strategic move marks the beginning of a new phase for the blockchain ecosystem, focused on entertainment and the protection of intellectual property.

Global entertainment giant Sony has taken a decisive step towards the integration of Web3 with the official launch of its blockchain Soneium on the Uniswap platform. This strategic move, announced on Wednesday, marks the beginning of a new phase for the blockchain ecosystem, focused on entertainment and the protection of intellectual property.

Soneium, developed by Sony Block Solutions in collaboration with Startale, is a Layer 2 designed to bring creative content and digital media into the onchain world. With this integration, the over 14 million monthly active users of Uniswap will now be able to interact with Soneium, trading assets, providing liquidity, and using bridges between networks in a simple and secure way.

Uniswap: the bridge between decentralized finance and digital media

With over 1.5 trillion dollars in total volume processed, Uniswap has established itself as the go-to platform for liquidity and onboarding of new Layer 2 blockchains. The integration with Soneium is not just a technical expansion, but a true bridge between native entertainment user flows and open financial systems.

Thanks to this synergy, Soneium gains not only greater visibility and access to liquidity, but also the infrastructure necessary to support the monetization of digital content, such as collectibles, NFTs and tokenized intellectual properties.

Soneium: the blockchain infrastructure for creators and fans

Launched in January 2025, Soneium was created with the goal of protecting intellectual property and attracting new users to the Web3 world, placing entertainment at the center of its mission. Sony and Startale have already brought to this vision with experiences like:

• The launch of the "Music NFT Collection" byスナー on Soneium, allowing fans to collect limited-edition NFTs linked to the artist's latest album.

• The collaboration with professional e-sports teams to develop engaging gaming experiences and tournaments on the blockchain.

• The creation of a marketplace for artists and collectors to trade digital collectibles and support emerging talent in the art world.

These examples demonstrate how Soneium is already transforming the way content is created, distributed, and monetized.

An open and interoperable ecosystem

One of the main obstacles for digital creators is the fragmentation of content on closed platforms. Soneium, in collaboration with Uniswap, aims to overcome this limitation by offering an interoperable and permissionless market. In this open environment, artists and creators can finally unlock the full economic potential of their works, innovating and earning directly.

As highlighted by Jun Watanabe, president of Sony Block Solutions Labs, "Our goal is to build a world-class blockchain ecosystem for creators, fans, and developers, under the vision 'Realizing an open Internet that transcends borders'. Uniswap Labs’ commitment to accessibility and innovation is perfectly aligned with our vision for Soneium."

Uniswap Web App and Wallet: familiar tools for a new world

Users can now access Soneium directly through the Uniswap Web App and the Uniswap Wallet, using tools that are already known and reliable. This makes it easier for anyone to start to:

• Trade assets on Soneium, such as tokens, NFTs, and other digital collectibles.

• Provide liquidity to specific trading pairs on Soneium to contribute to the ecosystem and earn fees.

• Use network bridges to move assets between Soneium and other blockchains.

All in a safe, transparent environment designed to enhance creativity and digital ownership.

A future built on innovation and collaboration

The integration between Soneium and Uniswap represents a fundamental step towards a future where entertainment and decentralized finance merge into a single ecosystem. Sony, with its long history in cultural and technological innovation, once again demonstrates its readiness to lead the next digital revolution.

With over 5.1 million unique wallets already active on Soneium, the platform positions itself as a reference point for those who want to explore new forms of ownership, exchange, and monetization of content. And thanks to the collaboration with Uniswap, the possibilities for growth and adoption are set to increase rapidly.

For those who wish to start exploring this new world based on digital ownership and creativity, Soneium is already available on Uniswap. All the information to get started is available in the Uniswap Help Center.
