TL;DR
- Somnia launches its public Devnet, capable of processing up to 400,000 transactions per second.
- It offers Ethereum compatibility and a $10 million grant program for developers.
- Users can test dApps and applications with free test tokens.
Somnia has launched its public Devnet, an environment designed to test its high-performance blockchain.
This initiative seeks to revolutionize the Web3 space with impressive technical capabilities: over 400,000 transactions per second (TPS) with near-instant completion and transaction costs below a cent, even under high demand.
Designed for massive applications like Gaming, SocialFi, DeFi, and Metaverses, Somnia promises a fast, affordable, and accessible experience for developers and users.
The information, originally published by Somnia Network, highlights that its Devnet includes innovative technologies such as the Multistream Consensus system, which accelerates execution and networking, and its custom database IceDB, which optimizes data processing.
Developers can take advantage of Ethereum (EVM) compatibility to build decentralized applications using familiar tools like Solidity, making it easy to develop innovative, reactive projects ideal for interactive dApps like real-time games.
The launch of the public Devnet also allows users to directly participate in hands-on testing.
During specific hours, testers will have access to early dApps, including decentralized exchanges (DEXs), NFTs, and games, using test tokens (STTs) earned through a faucet.
In addition, Somnia has introduced a $10 million grant program for developers, offering funding, technical support and go-to-market strategies for outstanding projects.
Somnia leads with technology and community
The main goal of this Devnet is to gather real feedback to refine their technology before the final release.
Unlike many similar networks, Somnia seeks to build its ecosystem in a transparent manner, inviting the global community to be an active part of this process.
Their approach includes key partnerships with companies such as Ankr, Hemera and thirdweb, which provide essential services such as RPC infrastructure, blockchain data indexing, and tools to simplify building Web3 applications.
Thanks to these collaborations, Somnia guarantees a solid and efficient environment for both developers and users.
By positioning itself as a leading platform, it not only redefines the standards of speed and accessibility in blockchain, but also opens up new possibilities for fully on-chain applications.
This project represents a significant step towards a more dynamic and sustainable decentralized future, with the ability to support massive data usage in decentralized applications, from games to financial services.
