Decentralized oracle network Chainlink announced that Soneium, an Ethereum L2 blockchain developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, has joined the Chainlink Scale program, gaining access to Chainlink data feeds on the Soneium Minato testnet. Trusted by many companies such as Base, Starknet, and Sonic Labs (formerly known as the Fantom Foundation), Chainlink data feeds provide safe and secure access to real-time data critical to the development of decentralized applications (dApps) on Soneium.

The strategic partnership also includes the integration of the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as Soneium’s canonical cross-chain infrastructure. According to Jun WATANABE, Chairman of Sony Block Solutions Labs, Chainlink’s reputation and trustworthiness ensure that Soneium users will benefit from a reliable and secure platform. Watanabe believes that Chainlink’s technology can help Soneium deliver a superior experience to its developers and end users.

Launched in August 2024, Soneium is part of Sony’s mission to make Web3 a daily reality for billions of people. The platform aims to provide innovative solutions to real-world problems and promote the growth and maturity of the blockchain industry. The Chainlink Scale program aims to support the development of Layer 2 blockchains and ecosystems and has invited several blockchain ecosystems to participate in its initiative, including Avalanche, Metis, and Starknet, to name a few.
