Chainlink, the standard for onchain finance, and Sony Block Solutions Labs—an initiative behind the next-generation Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain Soneium—announced today that Chainlink CCIP, Chainlink Data Streams and Data Feeds are now live on Soneium Mainnet, empowering Soneium’s developer ecosystem to build feature-rich applications and drive onchain innovation. Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) has now been integrated as Soneium’s canonical cross-chain infrastructure.
Sony Block Solution Labs unveiled Soneium in August 2024 to bring Web3 technologies to Sony Group’s extensive user base. Soneium was built to realize the open internet that transcends boundaries by connecting those with cultural differences and onboarding people onchain. Chainlink CCIP, Data Streams and Data Feeds are essential for those in Soneium’s developer ecosystem to realize novel onchain use cases for users.
It also plays an important role in realizing the vision of an open internet. Developers now have access to critical Chainlink infrastructure that will allow them to expand what’s possible to build on Soneium.” – Jun Watanabe, Chairman of Sony BSL.
“Soneium has continued to show real momentum with its mainnet launch, while playing an important role in the industry in terms of increased scalability, exposure, and access to new audiences both within Japan and in the broader market. Chainlink CCIP, Data Streams and Data Feeds now give developers on Soneium the ability to build onchain apps much more seamlessly and securely than before, helping to increase adoption of the layer-2 solution built by Sony Block Solution Labs.” – Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer, Chainlink Labs
In September 2024, Chainlink and Sony Block Solutions Labs announced that Soneium had joined the Chainlink Scale program, an initiative centered around sustainably accelerating the growth of blockchain and layer-2 ecosystems.
