What is Somnia (SOMI)?
Somnia is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed to support real-time applications at mass consumption scale, such as gaming, decentralized social platforms, or metaverses.
It uses cutting-edge technologies such as MultiStream Consensus, IceDB, ultra-fast contract execution, and advanced compression to achieve over 1 million transactions per second (TPS) with finality in under one second and fees below a cent.
Its token, $SOMI is essential for paying transaction fees, rewarding validators, participating in governance, and more.
🚀Launch on Binance: HODLer Airdrop
SOMI was the 35th project listed in the 'Binance HODLer Airdrops' program, between August 12 and August 15, 2025.
30 million SOMI tokens were allocated, equivalent to 3% of the total supply.
📑 The spot market listing on Binance started today, September 2, 2025, at 14:30 UTC, with pairs available against USDT, USDC, $BNB , FDUSD, and TRY.
The airdrop tokens delivered included:
20% released immediately
**80% unlocked in 60 days through weekly missions (quests)**
👀 This structure encourages retention (hodling) and reduces the risk of immediate mass sales.
SOMI Tokenomics
Total supply: 1 billion tokens (no future inflation).
Deflationary mechanism: 50% of gas fees are burned, progressively reducing the circulating supply.
Token distribution:
Community and incentives: ~27.9%
Ecosystem development: ~27.3%
Initial investors: ~15.15%
Launch partners: ~15%
Team: ~11%
Advisors: ~3.6%
🪙Tokens for the team, partners, and investors include vesting (lock-up periods) to protect against dumping (mass selling).
📎What does this mean for a 'hodler'?
Participating in the HODLer airdrop allowed for early exposure to a technologically solid project (high scalability, active ecosystem) with deflationary touches and vesting mechanisms to encourage long-term retention. It is an interesting strategic opportunity in a new layer of Web3 infrastructure.
