Somnia launches Devnet, TPS can reach 400,000, gas is less than 1 cent

The launch of Devnet by the full-chain protocol Somnia has given the world its first glimpse of its potential as a high-performance blockchain for handling responsive mass consumer applications such as games, SocialFi, DeFi, and the Metaverse. Developers and Web3 users can now experience the blockchain for themselves and test whether Somnias claimed high performance is true at 400k TPS.

Somnia Devnet has demonstrated excellent performance in internal testing, achieving over 400,000 transactions per second even in high-density scenarios, with sub-second finality and transaction costs of less than one cent. The blockchain has innovations in execution, database, network, and consensus. Somnias database can achieve 15-100 nanosecond read/write times, and its network can increase the amount of data sent between nodes by 10-20 times.

With these performance and full EVM compatibility, Somnia allows developers to build with familiar tools, and by enabling instant reactions to on-chain events directly in Solidity, Somnia makes it possible to develop fully decentralized reactive applications, such as games that respond to real-time events.

$10 million grant program

Developers interested in building on Somnia can now apply to be whitelisted and become one of the first developers on the network. To further support developers, Somnia is hosting a $10 million grant program and providing technical guidance, funding, and go-to-market strategies to ensure developers have everything they need to realize their ideas. Somnias first infrastructure partners have joined the construction of the Somnia ecosystem, Ankr will provide RPC services for the Somnia network, and Hameras Social Scan will provide support for block browsers. Developers can also access EVM dApp tools through ThirdWeb.

Most features of the Devnet are not open to the public, but Somnia will be open for public testing at certain times. Somnia is being built in public to get as much feedback as possible and fully test its features in a live environment. Through Devnet, users can receive Somnia Test टोकनs (STT) through the faucet to test the first batch of dApps in the ecosystem, including DEX, NFT, and games.

The launch of the Devnet provides a unique opportunity for developers and users to experience Somnia鈥檚 technology and interact with the EVM L1 that promises to bring the world鈥檚 data to the blockchain. Developers interested in joining the ecosystem can learn more about accessing the Devnet , the $10 million grant program, and whitelisting by visiting the developer cohort page on the Somnia website.

About Somnia

Somnia aims to bring the worlds data to the blockchain through the fastest and most cost-effective EVM L1 blockchain, processing over 400k TPS with sub-second finality and sub-cent fees even in high-density scenarios. Somnias innovative design includes a new multi-stream consensus with accelerated sequential execution, a custom IceDB database, advanced compression technology, and instant reaction capabilities to on-chain events directly in Solidity. Somnia is a blockchain fully equipped with real-time, instant reaction, mass consumer dApp capabilities that can reach millions of users.

Original article by Ryan Watkins, Co-founder of Syncracy Capital Original translation: 1912212.eth, Foresight News There is a popular view in the industry that there are no other valuable applications besides Bitcoin and stablecoins. In the last cycle, the industry was completely driven by speculation and has made little progress since the crash in 2022. The industry infrastructure is oversaturated, and the VCs that fund them may pay the price for their lessons due to improper capital allocation. The second half of the above statement makes sense as markets begin to punish blind infrastructure investment and winners emerge on the basis of the crypto economy. However, when we look at the data, we see that there are few applications relative to infrastructure and similarly little progress has been made since the…
