Soneium, the Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain developed collaboratively by Sony Block Solutions Labs (SBSL) and Startale Group, has announced the launch of Sleepagotchi Lite on the Line Mini app. The viral game, which has attracted over two million users on Telegram, is now accessible to Line’s 200 million active users via this integration on Soneium. Jun Watanabe, chairman of Sony Block Solutions Labs, stated, “Soneium’s commitment to creativity, immersion, and accessibility makes it the perfect partner for the Line Mini app and Sleepagotchi, which share a similar vision. We’re excited to introduce Sleepagotchi to a vast new audience exceeding 200 million people—offering seamless, on-chain onboarding to fully unlock Web3’s potential. ” Sleepagotchi Lite offers users an early experience ahead of the forthcoming 2. 0 version of the Sleepagotchi Sleep rewards mobile app. It allows users to earn points anytime during the day—without needing sleep tracking—with these points transferable to the full release. The Sleepagotchi Line game is fully playable, with ongoing efforts to implement verification that will enable discoverability through LINE search. This integration permits users to play directly within LINE or via a web browser by logging in using their Line or Telegram accounts. The game supports payments using USDC and ASTR (Astar Network) tokens on Soneium, ensuring new users have a smooth entry point to blockchain features. Anton Kraminkin, CEO of Sleepagotchi, remarked, “Sleep is the most crucial health habit, surpassing even exercise or diet in importance. Japan consistently ranks lowest globally in sleep duration, which inspired the core of our early community.

Sleepagotchi draws deep inspiration from Japanese culture—from its kawaii art style and gacha mechanics to JRPG elements. Our new mini-app, Sleepagotchi Lite, aims to expand that community further. It maintains the beloved intellectual property but removes sleep mechanics, creating a fun and accessible introduction. After achieving Top 5 grossing status on Telegram, we are thrilled to bring the Sleepagotchi universe to Soneium and Line, platforms where over 200 million users connect daily. ” Sleepagotchi Lite features fast, engaging gameplay sessions playable anytime, incorporating battle card game mechanics, collectible elements, and community features that link players worldwide. Through its integration with the Line Mini app, Soneium is breaking down traditional barriers to blockchain adoption. Sony reports that more than 100 consumer and gaming apps have already launched on the Soneium chain. While the term “apps” is broad and interpretations vary depending on blockchain protocol definitions, this number includes a wide variety of interactive, on-chain experiences. Most of these apps are currently live and actively contributing to the ecosystem’s daily operations. Sony also revealed that Soneium is witnessing an average of one million to 1. 5 million daily transactions, hosting over seven million wallet addresses and more than $200 million in total locked value.
