The Web3 x AI Market Map Series: Soneium

Web3 x AI Ecosystem Series: Soneium Ecosystem Market Map

-– Abdul Al Ali, Venture Investor at Decasonic

We are excited to continue our Web3 x AI Market Map series with the release of the Soneium AI Market Map, mapping out the landscape of the joint venture ecosystem between Sony Group and Startale Labs. This is not our first time talking about the Soneium ecosystem, as we previously published a Soneium market map in October 2024. Since writing our previous article, Soneium launched on mainnet in January 2025, and has continued to attract builders and founders, with 200+ projects live on Soneium. 

To introduce Soneium: Soneium is an L2 built on Ethereum (utilizing the OP stack). In 2023, Sony’s blockchain ambitions were forwarded primarily through a partnership with Startale Labs, a Japanese-based team/blockchain solutions developer that previously founded another chain: The Astar Network.
