In its official announcement, Soneium has posted on X that ‘The Line Mini app is coming to Soneium’ claiming to introduce the Line Mini app to the chain, connecting the LINE’s 200 million active users to the Soneium ecosystem. However, in its official blog, the platform states that it is working with LINE to introduce four successful mini-programs to the Soneium chain, which was wrongly interpreted by the media believing that the two parties have established a partnership.
Soneium’s plan to launch mini apps on LINE highlights its strategy to gain the massive 200 million LINE users, thereby bringing new opportunities in the web3 landscape.
