Sony’s Soneium blockchain collaborates with LINE on onchain mini-apps

Sony’s public blockchain platform Soneium has collaborated with messaging giant LINE to integrate LINE's mini-apps into the Soneium ecosystem, planning to start by bringing four mini-games on-chain in the coming months.

The two firms announced in a statement today that the integration seeks to improve user experience and that LINE mini app builders will "benefit from Soneium's assistance — combining community building, strategic marketing and IP collaboration." 

LINE and Soneium plan to first publish four games — Sleepagotchi LITE, Farm Frens, Moonveil: Puffy Match, and Pocket Mob — in the coming months.

"LINE has built a strong presence, and integrating successful mini-apps into the Soneium ecosystem is the next step toward making Soneium more accessible," said Jun Watanabe, chairman of Sony Block Solutions Labs, which builds Soneium, in a statement.

LINE is a popular messaging platform in Japan, Taiwan and Thailand, and has been active in venturing into the web3 space. In January 2025, it introduced a decentralized app portal and the first batch of dapps, powered by Kaia, for users to access via LINE mobile messenger. 

Sony Block Solutions Labs, the multinational conglomerate's blockchain subsidiary based in Singapore, launched the Ethereum Layer 2 Soneium’s mainnet in January.
