- Soneium Score rewards consistent blockchain use by turning activity into loyalty points.
- Leaderboards and Soulbound badges give users recognition for reaching higher scores.
- Projects gain a pool of actively engaged users, boosting retention and participation.
Sony’s Soneium blockchain has introduced Soneium Score, an Ethereum Layer 2 system that converts daily blockchain activity into gamified loyalty points. The initiative seeks to create an identity framework where on-chain participation is continuously recorded, tracked, and rewarded, reshaping how user engagement is measured across decentralized ecosystems.
The proof-of-contribution model records regular actions, including staking, token swaps, and NFT minting, and allocates them with quantifiable points. Participation is recorded cumulatively on Soneium, but projects must integrate the system to verify users and award points.
By directly linking loyalty to blockchain actions, Sony is moving toward a future where consistent user activity becomes transparent, verifiable engagement within its digital ecosystem. This step raises a pivotal question: Can tokenised loyalty programmes redefine how corporations retain digital audiences across platforms?
Scoring System
Soneium Score measures engagement in four categories. Activity Score is awarded on frequent transactions and includes streaks of 28 days per season. The Liquidity Score is a reflection of protocols’ contributions to total value locked (TVL). NFT Score will award 12 to 18 points for holding approved collections. Lastly, the bonus score provides add-on points for rotating partner projects, which guarantees changing chances of involvement.
Contributors all play on seasonal leaderboards, and completing more than 80 points earns a Soulbound Token (SBT) badge. These non-transferable tokens leave permanent marks on the wallets of clients and can be viewed on OpenSea as a sign of present activity. Such SBTs may be reused later by developers to access control, curate projects, or other ecosystem incentives.
Authentic Engagement and Ecosystem Growth
Sony has identified the issues that Soneium Score aims to resolve in two main points. To begin with, actions such as swaps or staking rarely establish a continuity of transactions on blockchain ecosystems, resulting in an absence of persistent identity. To add to this, new ventures face an uphill battle in attracting loyal users without the use of overly complex incentives or technical hurdles.
The platform is incentivized to keep the user active and gives the developer a pool of actively engaged users by merging identity and activity. The system has better chances of being adopted in the future as an invaluable infrastructure tool within blockchain communities.
The initial phase of the program centres on Soneium’s internal ecosystem, including gaming, DeFi, and NFTs. Sony has, however, indicated their interest in future cross-chain integrations, which could facilitate greater reputation portability should the community’s interest persist.

Financial Metrics and Market Performance
Current figures highlight Soneium’s resilience despite recent consolidation. The network’s total value locked stands at $126.88 million, a 1.46% increase in 24 hours. Its stablecoin market cap remains at $25.89 million, while chain fees and revenue both register $283 daily.
Application fees stand at $1,676, DEX volume stands at $2.81, and perpetual volume stands at $2.88 million. The inflows are at $164.68K, which is backed by $76.15 million bridged TVL.
According to charts, the growth has been strongly observed since the beginning of 2025, with TVL values rising to over $200 million in May and then moderating. The liquidity and user participation are stable despite decreases, indicating a stable ecosystem demographic and well-established community interaction.
