Soneium Score Season 4 has officially launched, rolling out new partners, scoring updates, and a refreshed badge system across Sony’s Layer 2 network. The program continues its seasonal reputation-driven approach, rewarding consistent on-chain engagement rather than one-time participation. With a 28-day cycle and a focus on DeFi, gaming, and NFTs, Season 4 aims to build on the momentum of previous seasons while offering a more accessible path toward earning the new soulbound NFT badge.
The previous season recorded more than 66 million transactions and drew over 81,000 participants. Thousands of badges were permanently attached to user wallets, highlighting the program’s role as a long-term engagement layer for the ecosystem. Season 4 expands on this foundation with a broader lineup of web3 projects, an expanded set of NFT collections, and interface improvements that make tracking progress more intuitive.
How to Join Soneium Score Season 4
The Soneium Score system evaluates users across four categories: Activity, Liquidity, NFTs, and Bonus tasks. The design emphasizes repeated interaction, meaning that even small actions taken consistently may carry meaningful value over the month-long season.
Activity Score focuses on everyday use. Any transaction qualifies, allowing users to build streaks by performing basic actions such as swaps or NFT interactions. Liquidity Score measures average value provided to participating DeFi protocols, encouraging users to deposit early and maintain liquidity for the full season to maximize their contribution.
NFT Score is split between Sony NFT collections and broader ecosystem NFTs, with eligible collections changing each season. Bonus Score highlights actions tied to specific partners and typically includes platform interactions, gameplay tasks, or voting actions.
Users who reach 80 points become eligible to mint that season’s badge. Each badge is soulbound and permanently attached to the wallet, forming a long-term record of participation.
Bonus Scores and Gaming
Season 4 adds a new wave of web3 partners across DeFi and gaming, expanding the Bonus Score category. Kyo Finance becomes a key partner this season, with users able to increase their score by completing exchanges through its liquidity pools.
RubyScore joins as a decentralized reputation platform where users contribute by submitting on-chain votes. Arkada enters with quest-based interactions, rewarding users who complete a set of defined tasks. Blockchain Messages introduces its cross-chain gaming environment, offering points to users who participate in several of its game modes.
Additional games and NFT-driven projects also appear this season. Echoes of Cryptalia gives players opportunities to advance their score through daily Trials of Ku battles and in-game collectible ownership.
Intraverse and Animix Snap bring new NFT elements to the ecosystem, while Zombie Idle Defense returns following its inclusion in Season 3. An expanded set of 23 ecosystem NFT collections, 14 of which are entirely new, gives users a wider range of scoring options.
Liquidity and NFT Scoring
Season 4 introduces several enhancements to the portal, helping users track point distribution and overall progression more clearly. Activity, Liquidity, and NFT scoring flows have been streamlined. The dashboard now features real-time streak tracking and visual indicators that clarify how close a user is to key thresholds.
The badge minting process has also been refined. Minting now unfolds in two stages, beginning with early access for top-ranking users before opening to all other eligible participants. This approach is intended to reduce congestion and offer a more predictable experience during high-traffic periods.
Final Thoughts
Participation requires only a connected wallet and access to the Soneium Score portal. Users can start earning Activity Score immediately by performing daily transactions.
Liquidity Score is best built by depositing into eligible DeFi platforms early in the season and maintaining consistent liquidity throughout the 28-day period. NFT Score depends on holding approved Sony or ecosystem NFTs, and scoring values can be checked directly through the portal. Bonus Score opportunities are tied to each partner’s required tasks, including completing swaps, voting, finishing quests, participating in games, and interacting with integrated NFT collections.
Reaching the 80-point mark unlocks the ability to mint the Season 4 soulbound badge, permanently connecting the achievement to the participant’s address. As with previous seasons, these badges may offer additional benefits in future ecosystem events.
