Getting Started With Somnia: The 1 Million TPS Blockchain on Binance
Somnia (SOMI) on Binance: A Beginner’s Guide
#Somnia is a Layer-1 blockchain designed to make Web3 faster, smoother, and cheaper. Unlike older blockchains that can feel slow or expensive, Somnia promises real-time performance with very low fees.
Recently, Somnia’s token, SOMI, was listed on Binance, giving it global exposure and making it easier for users to trade and participate in the project.
Key Features of Somnia
Here’s what makes Somnia stand out:
• 1,000,000+ Transactions per Second (TPS): Far more than Ethereum or even high-speed rivals.
• 100ms Block Times: Transactions confirm almost instantly.
• Low, Predictable Fees: Keeps costs stable even when the network is busy.
• EVM Compatibility: Developers can bring Ethereum apps to Somnia without rebuilding from scratch.
These features make it especially useful for gaming, metaverse apps, and social platforms, where speed is critical.
How Does It Work?
Somnia uses advanced tech to back up its big promises:
• IceDB: A custom-built database for super-fast data access.
• MultiStream Consensus: Validators process multiple streams of data in parallel to keep the chain fast and secure.
• Compression & Aggregation: Reduces network “clutter” so transactions move quickly.
The SOMI Token
The SOMI token powers the Somnia ecosystem.
• Total supply: 1 billion tokens
• Circulating at launch: ~160 million SOMI (16%)
• Trading pairs on Binance: SOMI/USDT, SOMI/USDC, SOMI/BNB, SOMI/FDUSD, SOMI/TRY
SOMI is used to:
• Pay transaction fees
• Stake and secure the network
• Participate in governance decisions
As part of the Binance launch, 30 million SOMI (3% of supply) was given away through a HODLer Airdrop to reward loyal Binance users.
Why It Matters
Somnia is trying to solve one of blockchain’s biggest challenges: scaling Web3 for real-time, everyday use. If its technology holds up in real-world conditions, it could power a new wave of apps that go beyond finance into gaming, entertainment, and social interaction.
Final Thoughts
With its Binance listing, Somnia (SOMI) has quickly entered the spotlight. Its promises of low fees, high speed, and real-time performance give it big potential — but the real test will be whether developers and users adopt it at scale.
For now, Somnia is a project worth watching if you believe the future of Web3 lies in fast, interactive applications.
