PANews February 13 News, Web3 entertainment ecosystem project YOAKE announced an additional investment of approximately $3.2 million from Sony Innovation Fund, which will accelerate the expansion of on-chain entertainment scenarios on Sony’s blockchain network Soneium. The company is developing “IRC APP” based on Soneium, using the $REC token to record and reward fan support activities, forming a tradable value system. YOAKE plans to upgrade this mechanism into infrastructure that can serve multiple IPs such as music, film, gaming, and animation, using Japan’s “support culture” (oshikatsu) as an entry point to promote related products and gameplay internationally, connecting global fan communities with content creators.
Currently, YOAKE has raised approximately $4.45 million in total funding, including a $1.25 million Extended Seed round completed in April 2025.
