On that night in Seoul's KBW, @Somnia Official the blockchain party at Somnia House reached new heights. There were no dull technical presentations on-site, only lights, music, and a throng of people. What impressed me the most was the understated mainnet experience area in the corner, where I first felt the smoothness of 'seamless on-chain' in a blockchain game. The mainnet has been live for nearly a month, and my experience has extended from offline to online.
During this time, I spend some time almost every day 'browsing' in the #Somnia ecological applications. The official announcement of 160,000 daily active users aligns perfectly with the queue numbers and chat activity I see in the world channel at different times when I enter the game. Considering that the currently launched dApps are less than 10% of the ecological plan, this growth momentum is quite astonishing. In a music rhythm game, I logged in with my social account, completed wallet initialization in less than ten seconds, and the asset and identity information between different games synchronized in seconds. This experience made me almost forget that I was in a blockchain world.
I specifically brought a friend who only plays traditional online games to experience an action game on the mainnet. He was constantly amazed by the smoothness and zero latency of the game, completely unaware of the blockchain technology supporting it. It wasn't until he wanted to purchase a rare item and the system prompted him to pay with $SOMI that he was surprised and asked, 'So this is a chain game?' This 'enjoy first, perceive later' model may be the secret to @Somnia Official opening up the mass market. Technology should be hidden behind the experience, rather than becoming a barrier for users to enter.
Of course, the popularity of the mainnet has also attracted attention from ill-intentioned parties. The community has been reminding everyone to be cautious of counterfeit blockchain explorers, as the domain of the scam website explorer-somnia.network has an extra '-' in the middle, making it very easy to confuse. This has developed a habit for me: every time I access official tools, I carefully verify the domain, because in the blockchain world, security is always the top priority. This also reflects the true popularity of #Somnia in a roundabout way; otherwise, it wouldn't have been targeted so quickly by 'professional teams'.
Next, I am very much looking forward to the team's new actions at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, as well as the continuous launch of more ecological applications. From my current experience, @Somnia Official is steadily turning the vision of 'integrating blockchain into people's daily lives' into reality. The $SOMI in my wallet.
I'm all set, just waiting for the next blockbuster game to launch so I can 'spend' on a few limited skins that truly belong to me.
