Somnia has introduced its Developer Network (Devnet) with a capacity of 400k transactions per second, aiming to give developers and users of Web3 access to its advanced blockchain technology. Somnia is described as a platform ideal for high-demand applications like games, DeFi, SocialFi, and metaverse projects, offering support for mass-consumer usage in a fully on-chain environment.
During internal testing, Somnia's Devnet has shown that it can handle up to 400,000 transactions per second and finalize transactions in less than a second. Additionally, the cost of transactions stays below one cent, even when the network is under heavy usage.
Somnia's success can be attributed to advancements in how it operates, its database capabilities, networking features, and consensus mechanisms. The platform's database allows for quick reading and writing, with a time frame of 15 to 100 nanoseconds, which helps decrease delays. The improved networking technology enables faster transmission of data between nodes, increasing efficiency by 10 to 20 times.
In addition, complete EVM compatibility enables developers to utilize tools and languages they are already familiar with to create decentralized applications that need to respond in real-time.
Moreover, Somnia enables immediate responses to events happening on the blockchain through Solidity, paving the way for decentralized applications such as interactive games and live event platforms. This feature aims to improve user engagement and expand the range of applications that can be successfully implemented on the blockchain.
Somnia is offering a $10 million grant to support developers in building a strong developer community. They are encouraging developers to apply for whitelisting to be part of the initial group of developers. The grant program will provide funding, technical advice, and strategies for bringing products to market.
Ankr is one of the initial infrastructure partners that will be offering Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services to improve network connectivity and reliability.
Hemera's Social Scan will be used to support the block explorer, enabling users to keep track of transactions on the blockchain. Furthermore, thirdweb will provide resources for creating decentralized applications that are compatible with EVM, making the development process easier.
Open to the public, Somnia's Devnet will be available for testing during specific times, giving users the opportunity to engage with decentralized applications like a decentralized exchange (DEX), NFTs, and games.
By using this method, they aim to collect useful feedback and assess the platform's performance in a real-world setting. Users have the option to obtain Somnia Test Tokens (STT) from a faucet on the platform in order to take part in the testing process.
For those curious about Somnia's technology, developers and users can visit their website to learn more about accessing Devnet, the grant program, and the whitelisting process. Somnia's Devnet launch is focused on integrating more data and features onto the blockchain, which could shape the development of decentralized applications in the future.
