📍Introduction

Somnia is a high-performance, cost-efficient EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain capable of processing over 1,000,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality. It is suitable for serving millions of users and building real-time mass-consumer applications like games, social applications, metaverses, and more, all fully on-chain.

Benchmarks

  • The Somnia blockchain achieved 1,050,000 TPS running over 100 nodes distributed globally. This TPS was ERC-20 transfers between several hundred thousand accounts.

  • We also ran Uniswap V3 with several hundred thousand accounts trading one LP pool. This achieved 50,000 uniswaps per second.

  • Finally, we had 100,000 accounts mint NFTs, achieving 300,000 NFT mints per second.

This means Somnia is capable of supporting any high scale consumer application.

Somnia is supported by Improbable and MSquared. Improbable will develop some of the key technical components of Somnia, including the Blockchain, but the project will require a large and active community to fulfil its vision.
