Somnia has introduced its Developer Network (Devnet), which offers developers and Web3 users the ability to use its advanced blockchain technology. Somnia aims to be a powerful platform for on-chain applications, supporting mass-consumer projects like games, decentralized finance (DeFi), social finance (SocialFi), and metaverse endeavors. The Devnet boasts a high throughput of 400k transactions per second.
During internal testing, Somnia's Devnet has shown the capability to handle an impressive 400,000 transactions per second, with transactions being finalized in less than a second. Additionally, the cost of transactions stays below one cent, even when the network is experiencing high levels of activity.
The success of Somnia is attributed to advancements in how tasks are carried out, the database system used, networking capabilities, and reaching an agreement among participants. Somnia's database allows for information to be both read and written in a very short amount of time, ranging from 15 to 100 nanoseconds, which greatly decreases delays. The improved networking technology also enables the transfer of 10 to 20 times more data between different points.
Additionally, developers can take advantage of full EVM compatibility to utilize tools and programming languages they are already familiar with in order to create decentralized applications that need to be responsive in real-time.
Moreover, Somnia enables immediate responses to events happening on the blockchain within Solidity, which paves 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. Developers can apply for whitelisting to be part of the initial developer cohort. The grant program will provide funding, technical support, and assistance with go-to-market 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 feature will support the block explorer, enabling users to keep track of transactions on the blockchain. In addition, thirdweb will provide resources for creating decentralized applications that are compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, making the development process easier.
The public will have the opportunity to test out Somnia's Devnet during specific hours. This will give users a chance to try out decentralized applications like a decentralized exchange (DEX), NFTs, and games.
By using this method, they plan to collect useful feedback and assess how well the platform functions in a real-world setting. Users have the option to obtain Somnia Test Tokens (STT) through a faucet on the platform in order to take part in testing.
For those interested in learning more about Somnia's technology, developers and users can visit their website to find information on how to access Devnet, apply for grants, and go through the whitelisting process. By introducing the Devnet platform, Somnia hopes to increase the amount of data and features available on the blockchain, which could impact the development of decentralized applications down the line.
