Somnia is a foundational protocol and infrastructure project in the metaverse track, focusing on solving the challenges of 'interoperability' and 'massively online'. It does not directly create user-facing metaverse applications but aspires to be the 'skeleton' and 'rule maker' that connects all metaverses.
To understand its position more clearly, we can look at it from the following perspectives:
1. Track positioning: the ambition of the metaverse's 'TCP/IP protocol'
· It does not belong to the application layer: it is not a specific virtual world like Decentraland or The Sandbox that you can explore.
· It belongs to the protocol layer/infrastructure layer: Its goal is to create a set of standards and technologies that allow different virtual worlds, games, and social platforms to connect and communicate with each other. You can think of it as the TCP/IP protocol of the internet; it is not a website itself, but all websites rely on it to communicate with each other.
2. Core Value Proposition: Break the 'islands' and achieve 'interconnection'
The core issue of the current metaverse and NFT world is the island effect:
· The NFT equipment you buy in game A cannot be used at all on platform B.
· Each metaverse is a closed garden.
Somnia's goal is to break down the walls of these gardens.
· A virtual avatar can freely travel between any platform that accesses the Somnia protocol.
· A digital garment can be displayed in multiple different virtual scenarios.
· Developers can easily create shared virtual experiences that support massive numbers of users online at the same time.
3. Unique Position and Competitive Advantage in the Crypto Circle
· Strong technical backing: Behind the project are Improbable and MSquared Studios, who have years of experience in handling large-scale distributed virtual simulation technology (previously collaborated with the British military). This means that Somnia may have a deeper moat in supporting thousands of users online simultaneously compared to many pure blockchain teams.
· The team has rich experience: Led by the co-founders of The Sandbox, they deeply understand the current pain points of the metaverse and have experience in successfully building metaverse projects. The current coin price hovers around 0.92 USD; do people think this coin still has appreciation potential? Please feel free to leave a comment in the comment section@Somnia Official #SOMNIA #SOMI
