Sony Block Solutions Labs (SBSL), the builder of Soneium, used the Optimism OP stack, a fast and cheap layer linked to Ethereum for “bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 audiences, especially for the creators, fans and community,” SBSL said.
The new accelerator, which plans to open its doors in the third quarter, was created in partnership with Astar Network and Startale Cloud Services, with investment support from Sony Innovation Fund, according to a press release on Monday.
