Sony's newly developed Layer 2 scaling solution, Soneium, has achieved significant adoption in the Decentralised Finance (DeFi) space. The network's total value locked (TVL) has surpassed US $45 million, propelling it into the top 60 blockchain networks. This growth is attributed to the "Conquest" campaign, which incentivised user engagement and exploration of Soneium's ecosystem. Decentralised exchanges on Soneium, like Kyo Finance, Velodrome and Sonex, have seen substantial increases in TVL. Despite initial community concerns regarding censorship, Soneium has gained traction, demonstrating promising growth in the competitive DeFi landscape. The success of Soneium highlights the continuing development and adoption of new projects within the cryptocurrency market, even amidst broader market challenges.
