Soneium Score: Sony launches the system to reward on-chain participation

The Web3 revolution takes a decisive step towards the mainstream with the announcement of Soneium Score, the new proof-of-contribution system developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs (SBSL) for its Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain Soneium. 

This initiative, supported by leading protocols such as Uniswap and AAVE, promises to redefine the concept of digital identity and engagement in the blockchain, concretely rewarding users for every interaction on the platform.

Digital Identity and Rewards: The Heart of Soneium Score

At the heart of Soneium Score is the goal of building a lasting digital identity for each user, transforming every action—from asset swap to staking, to minting of NFT—into points, positions in seasonal rankings, and non-transferable SBT (Soulbound Token) badges. In this way, each participant can have their real contribution to the ecosystem recognized and valued, while developers finally have an effective tool to identify and engage active users without additional technical complexities.

How the Soneium Score Rating System Works

The scoring system of the Soneium Score program is based on four fundamental components:

1. Activity Score: rewards consistency in daily transactions and activity streaks that can last up to 28 consecutive days per season.
2. Liquidity Score: it accumulates by providing liquidity (TVL) through different protocols.
3. NFT Score: is awarded to those who hold specific NFT collections within the ecosystem, with a maximum cap between 12 and 18 points.
4. Bonus Score: offers extra scoring opportunities through featured projects that rotate monthly.

The calculation formulas are designed to be flexible and adapt to the growth of the ecosystem, with updates and details always available on the official blog and the user portal of Soneium.

A new standard for continuity in the blockchain

Until today, most blockchain ecosystems have suffered from a lack of continuity: user actions – such as swaps, minting, or staking – were lost after each block, leaving no trace of reputation or trust between protocols. Furthermore, new projects struggled to attract genuinely engaged users without resorting to complicated technical integrations or asset incentives.

Soneium Score solves both problems, offering a unified identity layer based on on-chain actions and an immediate channel for developers who want to reach verified and active users.

Season 1: Immediate Opportunities and Exclusive Badges

The first season of Soneium Score starts with the support of prominent ecosystem partners, offering users the opportunity to build their reputation by exploring DeFi, gaming, and digital collectibles applications. Featured projects can thus directly access a highly engaged user base without the need for complex technical integrations.

Users who reach the required score threshold (over 80 out of 100 points) in each season receive a unique SBT badge, permanently linked to their wallet and claimable on OpenSea. Each participant can obtain one badge per season, as a testament to their commitment. The Soneium portal also offers real-time progress tracking, weekly optimization guides, and exclusive benefits from ecosystem projects.

An open and dynamic ecosystem

The platform supports a wide range of assets, including ETH and USDC, reflecting the economic vibrancy of Soneium and rewarding those who actively contribute through various protocols. The launch of Soneium Score follows the success of the mainnet debut, which saw over 14 million wallets participate in the testing phases, confirming the ability of Sony Block Solutions Labs to attract both Web2 and Web3 users.

For those who wish to delve deeper into the scoring mechanics, featured projects, and seasonal updates, all the information is available on the official Soneium blog and the dedicated portal.
