Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

Sony-backed Soneium has announced a new AI licensing system and plans to launch its own cryptocurrency, $SONEIUM, aiming to enable automatic creator payments via blockchain. The project faces severe financial difficulties, with total value locked plummeting 95% from $203 million in May 2025 to approximately $9.4 million. Daily transaction volume of 163,000 generates only $118 in revenue. Four major DeFi applications that collectively held $159 million at peak now hold roughly $1.5 million.
