@Somnia_Network is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain designed from the ground up for real-world consumer applications like games, entertainment, and social platforms. Unlike many blockchains that struggle with speed and scalability, Somnia aims to bring Web2-like performance into Web3, making it possible to run fully on-chain, real-time applications without compromise.
Built for Scale
At its core, Somnia is all about speed and throughput. The network can process over 1 million transactions per second with sub-second finality. That’s possible thanks to several innovations, including:
MultiStream Consensus – separates data production from consensus to avoid bottlenecks.
Accelerated Sequential Execution – compiles EVM bytecode into optimized native code for lightning-fast execution.
IceDB – a custom high-performance storage engine with nanosecond read/write speeds.
Compression & BLS Aggregation – reduces bandwidth requirements, making it more efficient at scale.
In testing, Somnia handled 1.9 billion transactions in a single day, proving its infrastructure can handle consumer-scale demand.
Consumer-First Blockchain
Somnia’s vision is to power the apps people actually use. Its design opens the door to:
Gaming – fully on-chain, modifiable games where players truly own their assets.
Entertainment & Metaverse – interactive, persistent digital worlds with seamless asset portability.
SocialFi – decentralized social platforms where users own their accounts and data.
DeFi – real-time trading through on-chain limit order books and instant settlement.
In short, Somnia is trying to solve one of Web3’s biggest problems: creating blockchain applications that feel as smooth as traditional apps.
Ecosystem and Growth
Before its mainnet launch in September 2025, Somnia’s testnet attracted 118 million wallets, processed over 10 billion transactions, and onboarded more than 14 dApps across gaming, DeFi, AI, and social sectors. Projects like Playground, Salt, and MSquared are already building on top of it.
The Somnia Foundation has also launched a $10 million grant program and accelerator to encourage more developers to build consumer-ready apps.
The SOMI Token
The network is powered by $SOMI , its native token. SOMI is used for transaction fees, staking, validator rewards, and governance. It has a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, with a deflationary model where 50% of gas fees are burned.
The token is already live and listed on major exchanges, with additional incentives such as airdrops to early supporters and BNB stakers via Binance’s HODLer program.
Why It Matters
Most blockchains today are either fast but not decentralized, or secure but too slow for real-time apps. Somnia is positioning itself as the first blockchain that can truly support mass adoption at consumer scale. By combining EVM compatibility with record-breaking performance, it makes it easier for developers to build games, entertainment apps, and social experiences that millions of people can use every day.
