Somnia stakers, assemble! With $SOMI trading at ~$0.96 and mainnet hitting 113M daily txns, staking isn't just passive income—it's fueling a high-performance L1 for gaming and metaverse. Forget fixed APR illusions; Somnia's model rewards based on validator performance and chain usage, with half gas fees burned for deflation. Minimum 5M SOMI for validators secures the network, but delegation opens doors for everyone—specific pools (28-day lock for focused yields) or general (no lock, diversified risk). Rewards blend fees and ecosystem incentives, scaling with activity.
How it works: Connect wallet at staking.somnia.network, pick a validator (check uptime, commission most share 90%+ back), delegate, and earn. Unstake? 28 days standard, or early with penalty; extra stake unlocks instantly, underperformers get cooldowns. It's transparent, flexible, and tied to real metrics—no farming gimmicks. With 1B fixed supply, vesting (team 36-48 months, ecosystem 48 months), staking locks reduce circulation, boosting value.
Governance ties in: Stake more, vote harder on upgrades/treasury. Utility as gas + delegation makes SOMI essential. Market cap $154M, but with 1M TPS and partnerships (QuickSwap, Conft), yields could soar. Risks: 28-day lock liquidity crunch or validator slashing, but diversified pools mitigate. Compared to SOL/ETH, Somnia's gaming focus (ZNS domains at 68K) adds upside.
