Soneium has transferred its chain operations to the OP Enterprise service provided by the Optimism Foundation and OP Labs. The move allows the network to utilize managed infrastructure while retaining full control over its roadmap.
Why it matters
By outsourcing node maintenance and monitoring, Soneium aims to focus its internal resources on developing tokenized intellectual property and on-chain entertainment products. The partnership leverages existing OP Stack development tools to streamline network reliability.
The service agreement mandates a target monthly uptime of 99.9% for network operations. Optimism Foundation and OP Labs are now responsible for managing sequencer operations, node infrastructure, and incident response.
