The Sony Layer2 project Soneium has sparked community controversy by blacklisting certain meme coins

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Sony's Layer2 project Soneium has sparked controversy by blacklisting certain meme coins suspected of infringing intellectual property rights on the day of its mainnet launch. This has led to some tokens being restricted from trading and lacking support on the official block explorer.

This move has triggered strong dissatisfaction among some users, who expressed their disappointment over suddenly being unable to trade or access these meme coins on the Soneium network in multiple posts on the X platform.

The blacklist action specifically targets tokens that imitate or use brands that Sony or Soneium consider protected. As a result, trading of these meme coins has reportedly been halted and they cannot be transferred. When users attempt to access these tokens, they receive a "forbidden access" warning on the block explorer.
