With its mainnet now live, Somnia is ready to power the dreams of builders and bring web3 into the mainstream. As a validator for the Somnia blockchain, we are proud to have been part of its record-breaking testnet and the successful launch of its mainnet. Over the course of six months of testing, Somnia processed more than 2 billion transactions, with a single-day EVM record of over 80 million. Being involved in the testnet has given us a first-hand look at what high-performance blockchain infrastructure can achieve.
Throughout the testnet phase, we focused on maintaining stability, securing the network, and ensuring consistent performance during high-volume periods. The diversity of the validator set not only strengthened the network’s decentralization but also ensured that it could sustain performance as transaction volumes grew. Now with the launch of mainnet, we’re excited to be powering the infrastructure that will help bring Web3 to the masses.
What is Somnia?
Somnia is a fast, cost-effective EVM Layer-1 blockchain, capable of processing over 1 million transactions per second with sub-second finality and sub-cent fees. Somnia’s performance enables real-time, fully onchain experiences that go beyond financial applications. It’s the ideal foundation for building large-scale games, social platforms, AI-powered applications, and much more.
Why do we support Somnia?
We support blockchains that focus on enabling unique use cases and applications, bringing new users to the space. It’s also exciting that Somnia is opening new doors for developers by allowing them to build things that weren’t really possible with existing infrastructure.
As a validator, we are drawn to networks that combine technical ambition with a growing ecosystem of builders. Somnia not only meets the performance requirements for these applications, but it is also actively onboarding developers through grants, accelerators, and low-code tools like Somnia Builder. This combination of cutting-edge technology and strong ecosystem growth is why we believe Somnia is positioned to bring web2 users into the world of web3.
