Sony’s Ethereum Layer-2 network Soneium, developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, has launched Soneium Score, a reputation-style system that records and rewards onchain participation across the ecosystem. The score converts actions such as swapping assets, providing liquidity, holding designated NFTs, and completing featured seasonal tasks into points, with progress tracked in 28-day seasons and users who reach the threshold receiving non-transferable SBT badges tied to their wallets. The broader context is that Soneium is trying to move beyond one-off incentives and airdrop-driven engagement by giving users a persistent identity layer built from their onchain activity. The system is also positioned as a tool for developers, since it can surface active users and make it easier to identify engaged participants across DeFi and NFT activity on the network. That matters because reputation systems are becoming a common way for blockchain ecosystems to measure real participation rather than speculative trading, and Soneium is using Sony’s branding to push that model into a mainstream-facing environment.
