As a part of the collaboration, Soneium will also integrate Chainlink CCIP as its canonical cross-chain infrastructure

SINGAPORE, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chainlink, the industry-standard decentralized computing platform and Sony Block Solutions Labs — an initiative behind the next-generation Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain Soneium, announced today that Soneium has joined the Chainlink Scale program, making industry-standard Chainlink Data Feeds available on Soneium Minato Testnet. As a part of the collaboration, Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) will be integrated as 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 deliver cutting-edge solutions that address real-world challenges across a broad audience, ultimately accelerating the growth and maturity of the blockchain industry.

"We're excited to join the Chainlink Scale Program and integrate CCIP as our canonical cross-chain infrastructure," said Jun Watanabe, Chairman, at Sony Block Solutions Labs. "Soneium is built for developers, boasting the ability to handle high traffic, support complex apps, and deliver a seamless onboarding experience. Chainlink's industry-standard infrastructure ensures that we're providing the best possible experience for the Soneium ecosystem."

Chainlink Scale is an initiative centered around sustainably accelerating the growth of blockchain and layer-2 ecosystems. Its focus is providing blockchain networks with increased access to high-quality, low-cost, and in-demand oracle services by enabling them to cover operating costs (e.g., transaction gas fees) of Chainlink oracle networks for a period of time. As blockchain ecosystems in the Chainlink Scale program mature, the operating costs of oracle networks can increasingly transition toward being fully covered by dApp user fees.

"Sony has long been a pioneer in Web2, and with the recent launch of Soneium has taken on a prominent role in pioneering the next iteration of Web2, the verifiable web," said Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs. "We are excited to see Soneium join the Chainlink Scale Program and choose Chainlink CCIP as its canonical cross-chain infrastructure."

CCIP is supported by battle-tested Chainlink infrastructure that has enabled over $14 trillion in transaction value, all while maintaining level-five cross-chain security and unparalleled reliability. Playing a key role in CCIP's security is the Risk Management Network—a separate, independent network that continually monitors and verifies cross-chain operations for erroneous activity.

Developers on Soneium can learn more about building with Chainlink Data Feeds and get started on testnet today.
