So, Ronin changed the onchain game by proving that a custom chain can scale one hit Web3 title: Axie Infinity

But @Somnia_Network is building something way bigger.

A fast L1 EVM built not just for one game, but for an entire immersive metaverse—where thousands of games, assets, and avatars can co-exist.

Let’s break it down:

@Ronin_Network: Optimized for Axie. Custom sidechain. WAS a Closed ecosystem
  → Great for vertical scaling one title, but limited composability, better now with some new games like @LumiterraGame

Somnia: zk-powered modular chain.
  → Designed for horizontal scaling of multiple games, studios, and digital worlds. Open standards for avatars, assets, and economies → creators + devs can plug into a shared universe. Prioritizes decentralization + cross-chain asset movement.

Ronin was Gen X Web3 gaming infra. Somnia is Gen X.

If you missed the Axie moment…
Somnia might be your second chance
