One of the best parts of crypto is the ongoing innovation that takes place at breakneck speed.

Take, for instance, @Somnia_Network, which has been building an ultra-high-performance L1.

**A quick comparison of Somnia vs. Ethereum**

- Somnia is capable of over 1 million TPS vs. ETH, which processes approximately 15–30 TPS.

- Sub-second finality, while Eth takes 12–15 seconds.

- Somnia leverages a single-thread Sequential Execution model, optimized for high-density transaction scenarios. Ethereum leverages the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with sequential transaction processing.

But why such a focus on speed and throughput?

Somnia is built to excel in Web3 gaming and consumer applications, and its ecosystem reflects this with over 30 ecosystem partners.
