Fast enough for millions of players to live in one shared world, with almost no fees and sub-second speed.
That’s the dream Somnia is chasing. An EVM-compatible Layer 1 built for real-time consumer apps like games, social platforms, and metaverses — while still running the usual token roles of fees, staking, and governance.
Somnia (SOMI) went live on mainnet in September 2025, claiming 1M+ TPS, instant-like finality, and the kind of low-cost microtransactions that make web3 finally feel like web2. With 1B SOMI tokens fixed in supply, ~16% unlocked at launch, and backing from big partners like BitGo and Google Cloud, the chain is pushing straight into mass adoption territory.
The deep-dive covers: story and launch, tech stack, tokenomics, ecosystem, developer experience, real use cases, success/failure scenarios, and what all this means for builders, players, and holders.
Think of Somnia as a city with superfast trains between every neighborhood. If the trains run smooth and open for everyone, the whole city thrives. If not, it’s just another flashy project.
