What is Somnia?

Somnia is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain established to facilitate high-performance applications in domains such as gaming, metaverse, and social ecosystems. It employs a MultiStream architecture that divides execution, data availability, and consensus into separate layers, which enhances scalability and composability for developers deploying smart contracts in persistent virtual environments.

The network is designed to handle over one million transactions per second, offering sub-second finality to support complex interactions while minimizing congestion and costs. Somnia's infrastructure targets the provision of a foundational layer for decentralized digital experiences that require efficient performance at scale.
