Startale Launches Sony-Backed SuperApp With Mini Apps, Gasless Transactions, and Seamless Access to TGEs, Airdrops, and On-Chain Rewards

Startale App Opens New Gateway to Sony’s Soneium Blockchain

Startale Group, in collaboration with Sony Block Solutions Labs, has launched Startale App, a unified Web3 SuperApp designed as the entry point to Sony’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, Soneium.

The platform aims to streamline user access to token generation events (TGEs), ecosystem airdrops, and on-chain rewards, offering a more intuitive experience for both developers and consumers.

How Does Startale App Simplify Web3 Access

The app removes traditional barriers to Web3 adoption through account abstraction, eliminating the need for seed phrases and enabling gasless transactions.

Users can manage wallets easily and participate in network activities without complex setups.

Mini Apps within the platform allow developers to build directly on Soneium without maintaining separate websites, providing a seamless integration between applications and the blockchain ecosystem.

What Users Can Expect From the App

Startale App provides a portal to early-stage on-chain events.

Selected projects on Soneium are already planning to offer airdrops, rewards, and exclusive experiences through the app.

Soneium itself has surpassed 380 million transfers across more than 5.1 million wallets, highlighting the network’s growing scale and activity.

CEO Sota Watanabe Explains the Vision

According to Sota Watanabe, CEO of Startale Group,

“Startale App was designed to remove the final barrier to Web3 adoption, the fragmented user experience. Through our longstanding partnership with Sony and Soneium, we’ve built a platform that makes going onchain as intuitive as opening any mainstream app, while ensuring interoperability across Ethereum and ecosystems worldwide, including Japan’s regulated digital asset ecosystem.”

Integration With Japan’s Regulatory Framework

The app’s launch aligns with evolving regulatory clarity in Japan.

The Financial Services Agency recently approved the country’s first yen-pegged stablecoin and is supporting a pilot project involving Japan’s three major banks — Mizuho Bank, MUFG, and SMBC.

Startale is also working with SBI Holdings to introduce a regulated, 24/7 tokenized equities trading platform, merging mainstream finance with blockchain technology.

Why Startale App Matters for Developers and Users

By centralising access to Soneium, Startale App offers a unified experience for Web3 engagement.

Developers benefit from simplified deployment through Mini Apps, while users can engage with tokenised assets and rewards without complex onboarding.

The app is currently in closed beta, with no official launch date announced.

How This Positions Startale in the SuperApp Ecosystem

Positioned within the expanding global Web3 SuperApp sector, Startale App represents a strategic move to simplify blockchain access while enhancing usability.

Its interoperable design and integration with regulated financial infrastructure in Japan could encourage wider adoption among mainstream users, bridging the gap between conventional finance and decentralised ecosystems.
