Soneium Debuts Proof-Of-Contribution System “Soneium Score”

Soneium, the Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs (SBSL), today announces the launch of Soneium Score, an onchain proof-of-contribution system that tracks and rewards real participation across the ecosystem. It’s designed to help users build lasting identity through every action they take, and help developers discover active, engaged users without technical overhead.

Built for mainstream adoption, Soneium Score turns every onchain interaction—swapping assets, staking assets, minting NFTs—into part of a dynamic, gamified identity layer. Participants earn points across multiple categories, climb seasonal leaderboards, and collect non-transferable SBT badges that prove they’ve shown up and contributed. For developers, it opens a new channel to surface verified users and build traction from day one.

The scoring system evaluates four key components. Participants earn Activity Score through consistent daily transactions and engagement streaks of up to 28 days per season, build Liquidity Score by contributing to TVL across various protocols, accumulate NFT Score by holding designated ecosystem collections (typically capping at 12-18 points), and boost their totals through Bonus Score opportunities with featured projects that rotate monthly. The scoring formulas retain flexibility to adapt to ecosystem growth, with complete details and ongoing updates available through the official Soneium blog and user portal.

Until now, most blockchain ecosystems have lacked continuity. Users swap assets, mint NFTs, or stake assets, but those efforts disappear after each block. There’s no universal way to build trust, no way to track reputation across protocols, and no reward for showing up consistently.

At the same time, new projects face a different issue in attracting real, engaged users without burdensome technical integrations or asset incentives.

Soneium Score solves both. It gives users a unified identity layer based on onchain actions and gives developers an instant discovery channel to verified, engaged users.

Season 1 launches with prominent ecosystem partners to offer users immediate opportunities to build their reputations while exploring diverse applications across DeFi, gaming, and digital collectibles. Featured projects benefit from direct access to highly engaged users without complex technical integrations.

Participants who achieve the required score threshold (greater than 80 out of 100 points) each season receive unique SBT badges that are permanently linked to their wallets and claimable via OpenSea. Each participant can earn one badge per season upon achieving the threshold. The platform also features real-time tracking through the Soneium Portal dashboard, weekly optimization guides, and exclusive perks from ecosystem projects.

The platform supports a variety of assets, including ETH and USDC, reflecting the economic activity flowing through Soneium and rewarding users who provide meaningful participation across protocols.

The launch of Soneium Score follows the platform’s successful mainnet deployment, which attracted over 14 million wallets during testing. Soneium continues to leverage the Sony Block Solutions Labs’ massive user base to bridge Web2 and Web3 audiences.
