Startale Group and Sony Block Solutions Labs have introduced Startale App, a unified super-app that will serve as the main gateway to Sony’s Ethereum Layer-2 network, Soneium.
Key Takeaways:
The new platform is designed to simplify access to blockchain services and connect users to token launches, airdrops, and on-chain experiences across the Soneium ecosystem.
According to the announcement, the Startale App integrates account abstraction, allowing users to create wallets without seed phrases, enjoy gasless transactions, and manage their digital assets more intuitively. Developers will also be able to deploy Mini Apps directly within the platform, eliminating the need for external websites or dApps.

The app is currently in closed beta testing, with a public launch expected later this year. It will act as the central interface for users participating in Token Generation Events (TGEs), loyalty rewards, and partner-driven campaigns within the Soneium network.
“Startale App removes the final friction point for mainstream Web3 adoption,” said Sota Watanabe, CEO of Startale Group. “Together with Sony, we’re building a seamless digital experience that makes going on-chain feel as natural as using any traditional app.”
Beyond Soneium, the app will integrate with the broader Ethereum ecosystem, reinforcing interoperability across decentralized applications. Watanabe noted that Japan’s increasing regulatory clarity around stablecoins and tokenized assets has created an ideal environment for innovation.
Earlier this year, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) authorized the country’s first yen-backed stablecoin and announced a pilot program with Mizuho Bank, MUFG, and SMBC to expand adoption.
Startale is also collaborating with SBI Holdings to establish a regulated 24/7 trading platform for tokenized equities, a move that could further align Japan’s financial infrastructure with global Web3 standards.
By connecting Soneium’s technology, Japan’s evolving digital asset framework, and Sony’s global reach, Startale aims to make its new app the central hub of the Soneium ecosystem.
