What it is
Soneium is the blockchain project backed by Sony. It's an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack, the same technology powering networks like Optimism and Base, developed together with Startale Labs. Think of it as Sony's bet on mainstream Web3 adoption: fast 2-second blocks, EVM-compatible, and designed to support gasless experiences through account abstraction.
The Soneium Score is the engagement layer on top: a seasonal points system that tracks how actively you use the network. It's Sony's way of building a verified registry of real users before any token launch, if $SONY ever drops, your badge history will be your proof of participation.
How it works
Bridge ETH to Soneium via Orbiter Finance or any supported bridge at soneium.org/bridges.
Add the Soneium network to your wallet (Chain ID: 1868). Rabby detects it automatically; MetaMask needs manual setup via Chainlist.
Earn points across five categories: on-chain Transactions, Liquidity provision, NFT holdings, Quests on the Startale App, and Active Days.
Reach 80 points out of 100 within the 28-day season window to qualify for that season's badge.
Claim your soulbound badge NFT at portal.soneium.org. The badge is non-transferable, it stays permanently linked to your wallet.
When to use it
If you already hold ETH and want exposure to a potential Sony-backed token airdrop at relatively low cost.
When you want to farm multiple seasons systematically, each badge earned is a separate proof of activity for potential eligibility.
As a mid-effort airdrop: higher commitment than a simple social quest, but no coding or complex DeFi required.
The key risk is that $SONY has not been confirmed. You're collecting insurance, not a guaranteed payout. Budget your bridging costs accordingly.
