As a data enthusiast, I am accustomed to gaining insights into ecological health through numbers. Over the past week, the performance of the Somnia mainnet has presented compelling data. I focused on three core metrics: trading volume, TVL, and staking rate, which together depict the current prosperous landscape of the ecosystem.
Firstly, trading volume. Since the launch of the mainnet, network transactions have rapidly surged, with a daily peak reaching 1.9 billion transactions. This scale has surpassed most Layer 1 public chains, reflecting not only the efficient carrying capacity of the underlying technology but also the active participation in real application scenarios—high-frequency interactive applications such as gaming, DeFi, and NFTs are continuously generating value on-chain.
Secondly, TVL (Total Value Locked). Within a week, the TVL of the Somnia network has increased by over 30%, significantly contributed by the integration of DeFi protocols such as @YamataExchange. The rapid growth of TVL indicates that more funds are flowing into the ecosystem and being locked in various protocols, enhancing overall liquidity and expanding the application scenarios and value foundation for $SOMI.
Finally, the staking rate. Driven by the "Stake to Dream" campaign launched by @ttt_lab, the staking rate of Somnia increased by 15% within a week. A higher staking ratio means more $SOMI is locked, reducing circulating supply, which not only helps enhance network security and decentralization but also provides strong support for token value.
These three metrics are interlinked, forming a positive feedback loop. Active trading attracts funds and users, raising TVL; the growth of TVL broadens the use of tokens, incentivizing more staking activities; and the rise in staking rate further reinforces the network effect, attracting developers and projects to join. This closed loop is propelling Somnia into a stronger development trajectory.
