Somnia has introduced its Developer Network (Devnet) with a capacity of 400k transactions per second, allowing developers and users of Web3 to utilize its advanced blockchain technology. Somnia is promoted as an ideal platform for creating interactive, mass-market applications like games, decentralized finance (DeFi), social finance (SocialFi), and metaverse projects in a fully on-chain environment.
During internal testing, Somnia's Devnet has shown the capability to handle a significant amount of 400,000 transactions per second, with transactions being finalized in less than a second. Additionally, the cost of each transaction remains low, even during times of high network activity.
Somnia's success is attributed to advancements in how tasks are carried out, data storage, communication between devices, and reaching agreements. The platform's storage system allows for quick reading and writing, with a delay of only 15 to 100 nanoseconds, which helps to decrease the time it takes to process information. Additionally, the improved networking capabilities allow for the transfer of 10 to 20 times more data between connected devices.
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 on-chain events within Solidity, paving the way for fully decentralized applications such as interactive games and live event platforms. This functionality 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. They are inviting developers to apply for whitelisting to be part of their first group of developers. In addition to funding, developers will also receive technical support and help with marketing strategies.
Ankr is one of the initial infrastructure partners that will offer Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services to improve network connectivity and reliability.
Hemera's Social Scan feature will support the block explorer, enabling users to keep track of transactions on the blockchain. Thirdweb will also provide tools for creating decentralized applications that are compatible with EVM, making the development process easier.
Public testing will be available on Somnia's Devnet for specific hours, giving users the opportunity to try out decentralized applications like a decentralized exchange, NFTs, and games.
Through this method, the goal is to collect useful feedback and assess the platform's functionalities in a real-time 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.
For those curious about Somnia's technology, developers and users can visit their website to learn more about accessing Devnet, the grant program, and the whitelisting process. By introducing Devnet, Somnia is striving to enhance the amount of data and features available on the blockchain, which could have an impact on the development of decentralized applications going forward.
