Somnia has introduced a Developer Network (Devnet) with a capacity of 400k TPS for blockchain applications aimed at the mass consumer market. This technology is designed to support various applications like games, decentralized finance, social finance, and metaverse projects 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 complete transactions in less than a second. Additionally, the cost of transactions stays 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 storage system, communication between devices, and reaching agreements. The database of the platform can process data in 15 to 100 nanoseconds for both reading and writing, which greatly decreases delays. The improved networking capabilities also allow for 10 to 20 times more data to be transferred between different points.
Furthermore, complete compatibility with EVM enables developers to utilize tools and programming languages they are already familiar with to create decentralized applications that demand quick response times.
Moreover, Somnia enables immediate responses to on-chain events within Solidity, paving the way for completely 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 program to support developers in building a strong developer community. They are inviting developers to apply for whitelisting to join their first group of developers, and they will provide funding, technical advice, and strategies to help developers succeed in the market.
Ankr is one of the initial infrastructure partners that will offer Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services to improve network connectivity and ensure reliability.
Hemera's Social Scan technology 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 the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making the development process easier.
Open to the public for testing, Somnia's Devnet will be available for users to try out decentralized applications like a decentralized exchange, NFTs, and games during specific hours.
By using this method, they plan to collect important feedback and assess the platform's abilities in a real-world setting. Users have the option to acquire Somnia Test Tokens (STT) on the platform to take part in the testing process.
Those interested in learning more about Somnia's technology can visit their website to find information about accessing Devnet, the grant program, and the whitelisting process. Somnia's Devnet launch is focused on bringing more data and functionality onto the blockchain, which could have an impact on the development of decentralized applications in the future.
