How it started
In 2024, Somnia introduced a custom-built tech stack:
• Execution engine compiling to near-native machine code.
• ICEdb with 70–100ns read/write speeds.
• MultiStream consensus (parallel data chains).
• Advanced compression for efficiency.
Stress testing pushed past 1.05M ERC-20 transfers/sec across 100 nodes.
Later that year, a $10M developer grant program kicked off, backed by firms like Mirana Ventures and Spartan Capital, driving migration of Ethereum-native apps to Somnia.
The buzz grew fast around its tagline: “the 1M TPS blockchain for games.”
Soon after, a $270M ecosystem fund was announced to supercharge builders in gaming, SocialFi, and AI.
The vision becomes reality
Omnichain protocols unlocked:
• Seamless cross-chain asset movement.
• Remixable NFTs.
• True interoperability.
Early ecosystem highlights included:
• Sparkball (naval battle royale)
• Variance (turn-based RPG)
• Maelstrom (cloud gaming)
• No-code AI agents & identity apps
• On-chain DeFi with order books
All of it running fully on-chain at scale.
Where it stands today
Somnia mainnet is live, powering:
• Infra: wallets, analytics
• Gaming: 8-ball pool, RPGs, battle royales

• AI & Social: agents, digital identity
• NFTs: remixable digital assets
With $270M+ in funding, backing from Improbable’s tech, and $SOMI at the center—Somnia is setting the standard for what on-chain entertainment at scale really looks like.
