Sony’s Soneium blockchain, Animoca Brands bring anime to Web3.

The partnership will allow users to employ their Anime IDs in decentralized applications based on the Soneium blockchain.

Sony’s Soneium blockchain partnered with Animoca Brands to boost anime culture in Web3 by integrating anime artwork in decentralized digital identities. 

On March 27, the companies announced a collaboration that targets global anime and manga fans to boost user engagement in Web3. 

With the partnership, Animoca’s digital identity infrastructure platform, Moca Network, will create an identity layer on the Soneium blockchain, starting with Anime ID, a decentralized identifier and reputation layer.

Anime ID is spearheaded by San FranTokyo, an initiative to integrate traditional anime and manga culture with decentralized technologies. 

Anime-themed experiences are coming to Web3
The partnership integrates Moca Network’s Account, Identity and Reputation Software Development Kit (AIR SDK) into the Soneium blockchain. This allows users to maintain embedded accounts with unique identities and credentials as they use different decentralized applications (DApps) on the network. 

San FranTokyo’s Anime ID will be the first to adopt the AIR SDK, enhancing anime fan engagement on Soneium. In addition, San FranTokyo will collaborate with Animoca Brands to launch anime-inspired cultural campaigns on Soneium to onboard anime fans to the Soneium blockchain and connect with new anime-themed experiences.
