Sony Launches ‘Soneium For All’ Incubator for Blockchain Gaming Apps

Sony has launched ‘Soneium For All,’ an incubator for blockchain video gaming and customer apps on its Layer-2 network, Soneium. The program consists of grants, mentorship, and possible investment support through the Sony Development Fund. It leverages Sony’s existing blockchain infrastructure, already serving over 7 million users with high daily deal volume. The effort reflects Sony’s wider strategy to manage blockchain development while expanding its presence in the growing Web3 gaming market. Sony has unveiled a new incubator program called ‘Soneium For All’ aimed at supporting blockchain-based consumer and video gaming applications. Spearheaded by Sony Blockchain Solutions Lab (SBSL), this initiative marks the entertainment giant’s latest move to expand its footprint in the Web3 space. The incubator centers around Soneium, Sony’s proprietary Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain, and seeks to attract Web3 developers ready to build at the intersection of gaming, blockchain, and digital ownership. The Soneium For All program is being launched in partnership with Astar Network and Startale Labs, two major players in blockchain infrastructure. Through this collaboration, selected developers will gain access to Soneium’s expansive ecosystem, which already boasts over seven million users and processes more than 1.5 million transactions daily. The application window opened on June 9, and winners will be announced by late July. Sony’s incubator arrives at a crucial time for blockchain gaming, a sector projected to grow to over $600 billion by 2030.
