Somnia has introduced its Devnet for developers and Web3 users to utilize its fast blockchain technology. Somnia aims to be a top choice for on-chain applications like games, decentralized finance, social finance, and metaverse projects.
Somnia's Devnet has shown in tests that it can handle an impressive 400,000 transactions per second and complete transactions in less than a second. Despite heavy network usage, transaction costs stay below one cent.
Somnia's success can be attributed to improvements in how tasks are carried out, the database system used, networking capabilities, and the agreement reached among participants. The database of the platform can process read and write operations within a short time frame of 15 to 100 nanoseconds, which helps to minimize delays. Additionally, the advanced networking technology allows for the efficient transfer of 10 to 20 times more data between different nodes.
Additionally, complete EVM compatibility enables developers to utilize their usual tools and programming languages to create decentralized applications that need to be responsive in real-time.
Moreover, Somnia enables immediate responses to events that occur 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. Developers can apply to join the initial developer cohort by being whitelisted. Additionally, the grant program will provide funding, technical guidance, and strategies for entering the market.
Ankr is one of the initial infrastructure partners that will offer Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services to improve network connectivity and dependability.
Hemera's Social Scan is responsible for running the block explorer, which enables users to keep track of transactions on the blockchain. Thirdweb will also provide resources for creating decentralized applications that are compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, making the development process easier.
Trial runs for the general public will be available on Somnia's Devnet at specific times, giving users the opportunity 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 how well the platform works 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.
Those interested in learning more about Somnia's technology can find information about accessing Devnet, the grant program, and the whitelisting process on their website. Somnia's Devnet launch is intended to increase the amount of data and functionality available on the blockchain, which may impact the development of decentralized applications in the future.
