Sony's Soneium blockchain has launched "Soneium Score," a system designed to track and reward real participation across the blockchain ecosystem, as on-chain scoring gains traction.

In a statement shared with The Block on Thursday, Soneium said that the mechanism is designed to "help users build lasting identity" through every action they take. The system assigns points to users based on their on-chain activities, including asset swapping, staking, and non-fungible token (NFT) transactions.

The scoring framework evaluates participation across four categories: daily activity streaks, liquidity contributions, NFT holdings, and bonus activities with featured projects, according to the statement.

Soneium noted that the scoring system is meant to address two common challenges in blockchain ecosystems — the lack of continuity in measuring user reputation and the difficulties projects face in attracting active participants.

"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," said Soneium.

Soneium is an Ethereum Layer-2 network developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs, a joint venture between Sony Group Corporation and Startale Labs. Its mainnet debuted in January and attracted over 14 million wallets during testing, the statement said.
