Uniswap is now live on Soneium, Sony’s Layer 2 blockchain tailored to digital entertainment.
The announcement was made by Uniswap Labs on May 6, confirming the integration is available on both the Uniswap wallet and web app.
Users can now swap tokens, provide liquidity, and bridge assets between networks on Soneium using Uniswap’s familiar interface.
Uniswap Integrates With Sony’s Soneium Network
This marks a big step in combining mainstream entertainment with decentralised finance. Soneium aims to connect creators and fans through onchain experiences, all while protecting creative work.
The network officially launched in January 2025 and has already supported a variety of entertainment-related initiatives.
Soneium’s Early Use Cases Focus on Fans and Creators
Sony built Soneium through a venture with blockchain company Startale. The network is designed specifically for entertainment experiences that live on the blockchain.
Since its launch, Soneium has hosted NFTs tied to popular anime like Solo Leveling, given out digital collectables at JPop concerts, and enabled onchain ticketing for Japanese idol groups.
These types of experiences show how entertainment companies are beginning to explore blockchain not just for hype, but as a real distribution and ownership tool.
Sony’s involvement signals growing confidence from major traditional players in blockchain’s long-term potential.

A Shared Vision for Open Digital Economies
Jun Watanabe, Chairman of Sony Block Solutions Labs, said the company aims to build a world-class blockchain ecosystem that empowers fans, creators, and developers.
According to him, Uniswap’s focus on accessibility and innovation is closely aligned with Soneium’s goals. This integration is expected to make it easier for users to explore and engage with onchain content.
Uniswap Labs sees this partnership as part of a broader mission to unlock value through open and universal exchange. When content is stuck inside separate platforms, creators often struggle to realise its full worth.
Uniswap’s infrastructure helps break down those barriers by giving users the tools to trade and manage assets freely across ecosystems.
Sota Watanabe, CEO of Startale, also spoke on the importance of the partnership. He said combining Uniswap’s deep experience in decentralised exchange with Soneium’s entertainment focus will help drive growth and accessibility in the broader DeFi space.
Their aim is to create a more seamless experience for users, powered by scalable infrastructure and creative freedom.
Uniswap’s Momentum With Product Growth & Regulatory Wins
The Soneium integration comes during a strong period for Uniswap. Its own Layer 2 network, Unichain, has processed $5.7 billion in trading volume since its launch. The protocol also recently hit a massive milestone by crossing $3 trillion in total swap volume.
To boost user engagement, Uniswap Labs has rolled out liquidity rewards and continues to expand its ecosystem tools. Perhaps more importantly, the SEC ended its investigation into Uniswap earlier this year.
The decision not to pursue enforcement has opened the door for more U.S.-based activity and further legitimised the platform’s approach.
Entertainment Meets Finance in the Next Phase of Web3
The addition of Uniswap to Soneium shows how decentralised finance is no longer limited to traders and crypto-native users. It’s expanding into digital culture, entertainment, and fan experiences.
As more value moves onchain, partnerships like this one will help creators get paid fairly, fans engage more deeply, and platforms build long-term trust.
