Gaming: Creating fully on-chain, high-speed games.
Social Platforms: Building decentralized social networks (SocialFi).
Metaverse/Virtual Worlds: Providing the scalable infrastructure for complex, real-time virtual environments.
Key Features
Massive Scale & Speed: Somnia is engineered for high throughput, with reported testnet results of over 1 million transactions per second (TPS) and sub-second transaction finality. This is designed to provide a "Web2-like" experience for users.
EVM Compatibility: It is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, meaning developers can easily use existing Ethereum tools, programming languages (like Solidity), and smart contracts.
