Somnia has introduced its Developer Network (Devnet), which offers developers and users of Web3 the opportunity to utilize its advanced blockchain technology. Positioned as a high-performance platform for a fully on-chain environment, Somnia is built to accommodate interactive applications for the mass market, including games, decentralized finance (DeFi), social finance (SocialFi), and metaverse projects.
Somnia's Devnet has shown impressive capabilities in processing 400,000 transactions per second during internal testing. It is able to finalize transactions in less than one second and keep transaction costs below one cent even when the network is under heavy load.
Somnia's success is attributed to advancements in how tasks are carried out, the database system, networking capabilities, and agreement among participants. The database of the platform allows for quick reading and writing, with a time frame of 15 to 100 nanoseconds, leading to a noticeable decrease in delays. Additionally, the improved networking technology enables the transfer of 10 to 20 times more information between different nodes.
Additionally, complete EVM compatibility enables developers 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.
In addition, Somnia enables immediate responses to on-chain events within Solidity, which can lead to the development of fully decentralized applications such as interactive games and live event platforms. This feature aims to improve user experiences 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 join the initial developer cohort. The grant program will provide funding, technical advice, and strategies for bringing products to market.
Ankr is one of the initial partners in the infrastructure project, offering 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 blockchain transactions. Furthermore, thirdweb will provide tools for creating decentralized applications that are compatible with the EVM, making the development process easier.
Open to the public for testing, Somnia's Devnet will be available at specific times for users to try out decentralized applications like a decentralized exchange (DEX), NFTs, and games.
By using this method, they hope to collect helpful feedback and assess the platform's abilities while it is being used in real-time. Users have the option to acquire Somnia Test Tokens (STT) by using a faucet on the platform in order to join in the testing process.
For those interested in exploring Somnia's technology, developers and users can visit their website to learn more about gaining access to Devnet, the grant program, and the whitelisting process. Somnia's Devnet launch is intended to increase the amount of data and functionality available on the blockchain, which could have an impact on the development of decentralized applications in the future.
