🔸@Somnia Official mBuilding high-performance Layer-1 blockchain infrastructure that is EVM-compatible to support large-scale real-time applications such as gaming, metaverse, and social platforms, with the ability to process over 1,000,000 transactions per second (TPS) and finality under one second, thus integrating Web2 scalability into the Web3 ecosystem while maintaining principles of decentralization, composability, and accessibility for millions of users simultaneously without sacrificing security or high costs.
This project, launched in 2024 by the Virtual Society Foundation (VSF) and developed by Improbable (a company with expertise in distributed systems and the metaverse), aims to create an inclusive "true virtual society" through innovations such as MultiStream consensus for parallel processing, custom IceDB database for nanosecond operations, compilation of smart contracts to machine code for fast execution, and advanced data compression, with support from MSquared and investors such as a16z and SoftBank. As of September 2025, the Somnia Mainnet has gone live with a $270 million fund ecosystem to support developers through a $10 million grant program and accelerators like Dream Catalyst for game studios, the native token SOMI is used for transaction fees, PoS staking, and governance, as well as collaboration with Galaxy for onboarding gaming giants, facilitating mainstream adoption in DeFi, SocialFi, and on-chain dApps handling billions of dollars in TVL while maintaining transparency and security through advanced cryptographic mechanisms.
