LINE says it’s not in bed with Sony’s Soneium after all
LY Corporation denied reports that its Line Next blockchain venture had established a business partnership with Sony’s Ethereum layer 2.
LY Corporation denied that its Web3 venture, Line Next, had entered into a business partnership with Soneium, a Sony-backed Ethereum layer-2 network.
The statement, issued on March 28, followed media reports and social media coverage that suggested a partnership had been finalized between LY and Soneium.
“These reports were based on an announcement made by Soneium on [March 12] that it plans to expand its business by using the LINE API and LINE Mini Apps on our platform, although no business partnership or the like has been established between Soneium and LY Corporation,” LY said.
