Somnia has introduced its Developer Network (Devnet), which offers developers and users of Web3 the opportunity to utilize its high-speed blockchain technology. Somnia is being promoted as a platform that can support interactive and widely-used applications like games, decentralized finance (DeFi), social finance (SocialFi), and metaverse projects.

Somnia's Devnet has shown impressive performance in testing, being able to handle 400,000 transactions per second and finalize transactions in less than a second. Additionally, transaction costs stay low, even when the network is under heavy usage.

Somnia's success is attributed to advancements in how tasks are carried out, the organization of data, communication between devices, and reaching agreements. The platform's system for storing and retrieving data is able to do so in a very short time frame, which helps to decrease delays. Additionally, the improved networking capabilities allow for a much larger amount of data to be exchanged between different devices.

Furthermore, developers can take advantage of complete EVM compatibility to utilize tools and programming languages they are already familiar with. This capability enables them to create decentralized applications that can 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 functionality aims to improve user engagement and expand the variety 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. Developers can apply for whitelisting to be part of the initial developer group and receive funding, technical advice, and help with marketing strategies.

Ankr is one of the initial infrastructure partners that will offer Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services to improve the connectivity and reliability of the network.

Hemera's Social Scan technology will support the block explorer, enabling users to track transactions on the blockchain. Thirdweb will provide resources for creating decentralized applications that are compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, making the development process easier.

The Devnet of Somnia will be available for public testing at specific times, giving users the chance to engage with decentralized applications like a decentralized exchange (DEX), NFTs, and games.

By using this method, they plan to collect useful feedback and assess the platform's performance in a real-life setting. Users have the option to obtain Somnia Test Tokens (STT) by using a faucet on the platform in order to take part in the testing process.

Those interested in learning more about Somnia's technology can visit their website to find information about Devnet access, the grant program, and the whitelisting process. The goal of Somnia's Devnet launch is to increase the amount of data and functionality available on the blockchain, which could impact the development of decentralized applications in the future.
