LINE, Japan's largest social media platform, has 200 million active users and this partnership is a significant step towards the mainstream adoption of Web3. As part of the deal, four LINE-based games, Sleepagotchi, Farm Frens, Puffy Match and Pocket Mob, will be adapted for Soneium and will allow for in-game rewards and purchases powered by blockchain technology. Soneium's Web3 Vision Launched in January 2025, Soneium is a layer-2 blockchain built on Ethereum using Optimism's OP Stack. According to L2 Beat, it is currently the 15th largest layer-2 network by total value locked (TVL).
