Somnia (SOMI) is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain project that launched in September 2025, attracting market attention with its claimed ultra-high transaction processing speed and EVM compatibility. Its price has experienced significant fluctuations in a short period, displaying highly speculative characteristics.
💡 Somnia (SOMI) Core Information
Somnia aims to provide infrastructure support for large-scale consumer applications such as gaming, social media, the metaverse, and decentralized finance (DeFi). Its core features include:
- High-performance processing: The design goal of the Somnia network is to achieve a processing capability of over 1 million transactions per second (TPS) and sub-second transaction finality to address the issues of congestion and high fees in existing blockchain networks. However, it is worth noting that the peak processing capability observed during its testnet phase was about 25,000 to 40,000 transactions per second, which differs from the theoretical value.
- Deflationary token economic model: The maximum supply of SOMI tokens is 1 billion. One characteristic of its economic model is that the network will burn 50% of transaction fees, which theoretically will gradually reduce the circulating supply of tokens as network usage increases, potentially supporting the token's value.
- Compatibility: Somnia is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), meaning developers can relatively easily migrate Ethereum-based applications to the Somnia network.
- Partners and Support: The project claims to have established partnerships with over 70 ecosystem projects, with infrastructure partners including Google Cloud (as a validator), among others. The project has also received investments from institutions such as SoftBank and a16z.
