Somnia is a high-performance, cost-efficient EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed to support real-time, mass-consumer applications such as gaming, social platforms, and metaverses. With the capability to process over 400,000 transactions per second (TPS) and achieve sub-second finality, Somnia enables developers to build fully on-chain applications that serve millions of users seamlessly. Its architecture incorporates a novel multistream consensus mechanism and the custom IceDB database, ensuring ultra-low transaction costs and predictable gas pricing.
This design allows for the creation of reactive decentralized applications that can respond to data changes and events in real-time, opening new possibilities for on-chain gaming, social finance (SocialFi), and fully on-chain metaverses.To foster community engagement and crypto new airdrop incentivize early adopters, Somnia has launched the "Somnia Quest" on its Devnet platform. Participants can complete various tasks to earn points, which may lead to rewards such as NFTs, tokens, and other incentives. Notably, Apecoin community members holding at least 111 $APE can claim an exclusive Apekin avatar, providing a 20% boost on all Somnia quest points. This initiative not only rewards users but also encourages active participation in the Somnia ecosystem, contributing to its growth and the development of a fully on-chain virtual society.
