Sony's Soneium & LINE: Mini-Apps Go Blockchain
Sony's Soneium Partners with LINE to Integrate Mini-Apps
Sony's public blockchain, Soneium, has announced a partnership with LINE, a leading messaging and digital services platform. This collaboration will integrate four popular mini-apps onto LINE's platform, bringing blockchain technology to a wider audience.
Key Mini-Apps Integrated
- Sleepagotchi LITE: A simplified version of a sleep rewards app that previously gained 1 million Telegram users in just one month.
- Farm Frens: A farming game developed by Amihan Entertainment, backed by over $10 million in funding.
- Moonveil’s Puffy Match: Expanding the reach of its zk-L2 and AI-powered gaming ecosystem.
- Pocket Mob: A social strategy RPG game from Sonzai Labs, offering users the chance to earn Respect points convertible to NFT rewards.
This integration, expected in the coming months, aims to enhance web3 user experience by making it more accessible and user-friendly. Soneium gains access to LINE's 200 million active users, significantly accelerating platform adoption, especially within key Asian markets.
Statements and Implications
“LINE has built a strong presence, and integrating successful mini-apps into the Soneium ecosystem is the next step toward making Soneium more accessible. We believe this collaboration will drive engagement and adoption in ways that were previously difficult to achieve,” said Jun Watanabe, Chairman of Sony Block Solutions Labs.
The partnership positions LINE at the forefront of blockchain innovation. LINE MINI App developers will benefit from Soneium’s resources, including infrastructure, marketing, and community building support, allowing them to concentrate on development and web3 experience.
This follows LINE NEXT's launch of its first Mini dApps last month, furthering its web3 push in Asia. Soneium, since its launch last year, has already attracted over 1 million accounts and 4 million total addresses. While recent market volatility has impacted active accounts, this partnership offers significant potential for future growth.
