In a groundbreaking move to better incorporate social into Web3, STP is thrilled to announce its acquisition of Sonet, a social app and infrastructure provider in Web3. This strategic acquisition heralds a new era of connectivity, bringing together STP’s pioneering identity layer for Autonomous Worlds (AW) with Sonet’s full service suite, from user facing to back-end. Sonet's middleware has consistently set benchmarks in the social space by seamlessly extending Web3 infrastructure across Web2 social networks.

The addition of Sonet is a major step forward for STP to onboard and support the next wave of builders and users in AW. The integration of Sonet into STP’s existing infrastructure will enable technological capability, compound builder and user communities and synergize social products to empower new AW users. By integrating Sonet’s apps and infrastructure, STP not only broadens its technological capabilities in important fields like AI but also enhances its ability to serve a wider, more diverse user base.

With the integration of Sonet’s apps and infrastructure, STP unveils Clique Social as the latest addition to its Clique platform. Clique Social provides integrated social tooling for DAOs and NFTs on platforms like Twitter and Telegram from NFT minting to DAO creation and governance. Users can access these features via both chrome extension and also Telegram bot. This includes enhancing traditional platforms like Telegram on TON and powering integrations for governance and gating on major social media giants, like Twitter and Facebook.

Sonet’s Additional Enhancements to STP

1. Ecosystem Expansion through Blockchain Integration: Sonet’s existing decentralized applications (dApps) built on the TON blockchain, Ethereum, and Polygon network allow STP to bridge and expand its Web3 functionality, fostering a more comprehensive and inclusive ecosystem across multiple chains. STP will leverage Sonet’s technological foundation to enhance its identity solutions and tooling platforms with broader blockchain compatibility.

2. Community Engagement and User Growth: Sonet’s existing user base across Twitter and Telegram dApps will be included into STP’s existing Web3 products, Clique, AWNS, and the various gaming proofs of concept (POC) in its ecosystem. Sonet’s gateways to Web2 social networks will significantly amplify user engagement and adoption. This symbiotic relationship not only enriches the user experience for STP’s products but also empowers new AW users, fostering a vibrant and dynamic community.

3. Gaining a Competitive Edge with Middleware Innovation: Adding Sonet’s middleware infrastructure helps address the intricate communication challenges inherent to Web3 by improving entry points, user channels and content communication. Sonet's middleware facilitates the infusion of gaming, generative AI, and various Web3 applications directly on all traditional and new social protocols. This enhanced capability positions STP to not only reach more users but help define the standards of Web3 communication by ensuring a seamless, intuitive, and engaging digital experience.

The acquisition of Sonet is set to accelerate the development and adoption of its identity layer for Autonomous Worlds. With the help of Sonet, STP is primed to enhance user experiences, broaden ecosystem reach and scale, and promote social connectivity and accessibility for the next generation of builders and users.
