Swell L2 is migrating to Optimism! ✨🔴The move will see Swell L2 join the Superchain as an Optimistic Rollup built on the OP stack.An Ethereum-aligned scaling solution, the OP Stack powers all blockchains in the Superchain with the same modular open source and MIT-licensed codebase, focused on parallel development, openness, and transparency.The restaking hub for the SuperchainThe biggest names in DeFi — including @base from @Coinbase, @unichain from @Uniswap, and @soneium from Sony — are all sharing infrastructure in the @Optimism Superchain. This collective of rollups adhere to shared standards and principles, and benefit from interoperability, shared updates and security, and access to grants and programs across the ecosystem.As the restaking yield layer, Swell will bring restaking yield and security to the Superchain. This will be achieved through Swell L2's unique Proof of Restake mechanism, which will maximize the capital efficiency of staked assets and set a unique flywheel in motion to drive growth, liquidity, and security.To meet Superchain requirements, small changes will be made to the design of Swell L2. These include the usage of ETH as the gas token for the rollup, and the dedication of a portion of sequencer revenue to the Optimism Collective.As part of this strategic transition, Swell will move away from the Polygon CDK, but continues to believe in the aggregated ecosystem that Polygon is building.Learn more in the blog: https://t.co/tKolARAu8v

SONEIUM OVERVIEW The Web3 technology market is increasingly being explored by Web2 corporations trying to create new products. However, their attempts often fail because they don't understand the audience in this space and lack experience with other projects. They also tend to overlook the competitors they need to surpass.But everything changed when.... @Sony entered the scene!Twitter account analyticsScore: 1032Influencers who are subscribed to the account: @farokh, @iamDCinvestor, @beijingdouVCs who are subscribed to the account: @skominers (a16z), @scupytrooples (Egirl Capital), @adampatel23 (Alliance)BriefSoneium is an L2 Ethereum solution developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs. The Soneium team wants to create an open internet not based on Web3, but by combining existing technologies with new blockchain developments.Soneium focuses on creativity and aims to be accessible to everyone—without the social, economic, or regional restrictions common in many projects. And as mentioned above, the product of Sony Block Solutions Labs and @StartaleHQ (the main partner responsible for the vision and development of the Web3 part) is aimed at the average computer user. From your grandmother to fifteen year old degen. VisionOn this platform, every user is a creator of something. It doesn't depend on their occupation. We can assume that both developers and NFT artists who are tired of searching for a platform that can appreciate their skills will find a place here. Values> Creativity> Freedom> Accessibility> Understandability for any Internet userTechnical descriptionCurrently, we don’t have a full Whitepaper detailing the blockchain's core capabilities, such as TPS and other metrics. We can only rely on general information from Docs.Soneium is integrated with Ethereum through @Optimism as part of the Superchain. This comes with a user-friendly development environment created by Sony Group Corporation, making it easier for Web2 developers to transition to Web3.The Superchain operates on the OP Stack from Optimism, positioning Soneium within the Optimism Collective family.VC investmentsTo our knowledge the team has not attracted any VC investment for development. At least we don't know that right now.The website only lists Launching Partners, but they supported the team media-wise and technologically. There is no mention of any VC investment.

New projects are created almost daily, covering completely different areas of Dapp and NFT.Before listing the ecosystem projects, we would like to mention that Soneium supports the endeavours of the developers. This is evident in Spark.Spark is a programme focused on finding and supporting the best Web3 products in the Soneium ecosystem. *It ended on the 14th of October and its results can be found in the official Soneium account.DeFi: • DEX AMM: @kyofinance & @sonex_so • DEX Aggregator: @WowmaxExchange • Lending: @BankUntitled • Yield: @Macaron_Finance • Perpx DEXes: @SynStation & @waveX_fi & @SoneFi_xyz • Options: @SuperVol_io • Derivatives: @neemofinance • CDP: @sakefinance • Liquid Stake: @Algem_io & @neemofinance • Native Liquidity: @sakefinance • Launchpad: @Paws_PadNFTs: • @emeralddotcool • @MintPassTravel • @TeamSoNoisyGaming: • @ArcasChampions • @DerbyRaceGame • @HelloBlockus • @LegendsOfVenari • @PlayOverTrip • @SpotZero_GameSocialFi: • @OutgridApp • @ServeUpLabs • @UneWeb3 • @Yay_Global • @MetadomoFinal ThoughtsSoneium is a unique blockchain for our time.
