On September 14, 2025, there was a heated discussion in the crypto community: the Somnia network launched an airdrop worth 70,000 SOMI, rewarding community experts. This marks the official launch of the mainnet, reinforcing its high-performance Layer 1 status. Somnia, endorsed by Improbable and MSquared, is EVM compatible, supports over 1 million TPS and sub-second finality, and focuses on reshaping Web3 gaming, entertainment, and the metaverse.
Project Overview
Somnia will be launched by VSF in 2024, addressing traditional blockchain pain points such as low speed and high fees, designed for real-time large-scale applications. Innovations include single-core optimization, IceDB database, multi-stream consensus, and data compression; the testnet processed over 2 billion transactions with 60+ validators and 70 projects participating, achieving a TPS of 1.05 million and a latency of only 70-100ns. The total supply of SOMI tokens is 1 billion, used for gas, staking, and governance, with 50% of gas fees burned to promote deflation. A 270 million ecological fund supports developers and hackathons, driving mainstream implementation.
Market dynamics
