Aave launches Sony-backed Ethereum L2 blockchain Soneium

Aave, a decentralized financial platform, announced the launch of Soneium, the Sony-backed Ethereum L2 blockchain, and will participate in liquidity incentive programs including Astarchain. The Soneium ecosystem has gathered 7 million users and mainstream protocols such as Uniswap v4 and Lido. The two sides are exploring the use of Aave's over-collateralized stablecoin GHO for payment, savings and e-commerce scenarios. Aave founder Stani Kulechov said that Soneium's consumer-oriented positioning and Sony's global brand influence provide an excellent opportunity for Aave to attract mainstream users.
