For decades, Japanese entertainment, from anime and manga to music and idol culture, has influenced global pop culture. Until now, however, these industries have remained largely untouched by blockchain technology.

In fact, the goal was to bring LINE’s mini-apps onto the blockchain, in order to make the adoption of Web3 mainstream. By integrating Soneium into LINE applications, the blockchain will soon be used by over 200 million users of the Japanese social network.
