Somnia has introduced its Developer Network (Devnet) with a capacity of 400,000 transactions per second, allowing developers and users of Web3 to utilize its advanced blockchain technology. Somnia is marketed as a platform ideal for creating high-performing applications for a wide audience, including games, decentralized finance (DeFi), social finance (SocialFi), 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 one second. Additionally, the cost of transactions stays below one cent, even during times of high network activity.
The success of Somnia is attributed to improvements in how tasks are carried out, the database system, networking capabilities, and reaching agreements. The database of the platform allows for information to be read and written in a very short time frame of 15 to 100 nanoseconds, which helps to decrease delays. Additionally, the upgraded networking technology enables a much higher amount of data to be transmitted between different points, up to 10 to 20 times more than before.
Furthermore, complete compatibility with EVM enables developers to utilize tools and languages they are already familiar with to create decentralized applications that need to be responsive in real-time.
Moreover, Somnia enables immediate responses to events on the blockchain through Solidity, which paves the way for decentralized applications such as interactive games and live event platforms. This feature aims to improve user satisfaction and expand the range of applications that can be successfully implemented on the blockchain.
Somnia is offering developers the opportunity to join its initial developer cohort by applying for whitelisting. The company is also providing a $10 million grant program to support developers with financial resources, technical assistance, 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 ensure reliability.
Hemera's Social Scan will provide the technology for the block explorer, which enables users to track transactions on the blockchain. Furthermore, thirdweb will provide resources for creating decentralized applications that are compatible with the EVM, making the development process easier.
The Devnet of Somnia will be available for public testing at specific times, giving users the opportunity to try out decentralized applications like a decentralized exchange (DEX), NFTs, and games.
By using this method, their goal is 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) through a faucet on the platform in order to take part in the testing process.
Those who are 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 intended to increase the amount of data and capabilities available on the blockchain, which could impact the development of decentralized applications in the future.
