In the crowded EVM gaming public chain arena, facing strong competitors like Immutable and Polygon, Somnia's breakthrough lies not in becoming another high-performance chain, but in elevating competition to become the underlying protocol that connects all entertainment experiences.
Somnia's core philosophy should be 'interoperability as a service.' Most gaming chains focus on providing soil for a single application, yet create isolated ecological islands. Somnia's opportunity lies in building a unified virtual society, allowing characters, props, and identities from different games to communicate seamlessly. An NFT item obtained in Game A might be displayed in the social plaza of World B. This is the ultimate vision for the mass consumer—a coherent digital universe, rather than a collection of fragmented on-chain applications.
To realize this vision, Somnia must achieve two major innovations at the protocol layer:
1. Establishing Standards: Creating a set of universal standards designed specifically for complex gaming assets that go beyond the ERC standards, ensuring cross-application compatibility.
2. Ultimate Experience: By utilizing technologies like account abstraction, completely hiding the complexity of blockchain, providing users with a seamless experience that is indistinguishable from Web2, with zero gas fees and one-click login.
Therefore, Somnia's competitive barrier is not higher TPS, but its network effects. As more applications and users join this 'meta-protocol', its value will grow exponentially, carving out its own blue ocean pathway in the red sea.
