🚨 This is going to be my day X of sharing insight on @Somnia_Network

Today I would be sharing X Wild Facts About Somnia Blockchain You Probably Didn’t Know About Before now. 

Well if  you think Ethereum or Solana are fast, you need to buckle up , Somnia is doing numbers most chains can’t dream of. 

Let’s dive in some of them⤵️

1️⃣ Unreal Transaction Speed —> Somnia isn’t just fast,it is  record breaking.

—> 1M+ TPS
—> Sub-second finality
—> 80M transactions in one day
—> 1B+ transactions in just X months of testnet
This isn’t a whitepaper claim, it’s real testnet data.

2️⃣ IceDB—> The Brain Behind the Speed.
Somnia runs on a custom-built database called IceDB.

—> Read/write speeds: 70-100 nanoseconds
—> Uses predictive caching for ultra-low latency
—>Perfect for real-time use like gaming & virtual world, so basically it is fast and built for scale.

3️⃣ A New Way to Reach Consensus 

—> Somnia uses MultiStream Consensus.
—> Each validator runs its own chain
—> A separate consensus layer syncs the global state
—> More parallelism = more throughput

And This is how they’re handling a million TPS without melting.

4️⃣ Backed by Serious Heavyweights 
Somnia isn’t a random startup. It is  built by Improbable, the team behind major metaverse tech. Launched under VSF, and supported by : 

—> $270M ecosystem fund
—> Google Cloud
—> MSquared
—> Mirana Ventures
No hype, just big players quietly building.

5️⃣ It is Ethereum Compatible, But Way Faster. Somnia supports EVM, so devs can use Solidity, but with a twist:

—> EVM bytecode compiles into native x86

—> Runs almost as fast as handwritten C++

—> That means smart contracts execute fast, without losing Ethereum compatibility.

6️⃣ Testnet Is Already Poppin’ —> Since launching in Feb 2025,  over 60+ projects onboarded (Privy, Dune, Yuga Labs) in Somnia , 

—> 4.2M user accounts
—> 18.3M contracts deployed
—> Games like Chunked (Minecraft-style MMO) hit 250M txs with 70K live users

Note: this is not theory, it is already happening.

7️⃣ Somnia is Built for Devs, Not Just Hype. 
It isn’t just chasing TPS flexes , it’s creating a dev-first world: 

—> $10M grant program
—> 6month gaming accelerator
—> Somnia Builder = no smart contract skills needed
—> Game engine support, Unity, Unreal, PlayCanvas

I would say this is a big steal for Web3 game dev because they just got a serious upgrade with Somnia. 

TL;DR: Somnia is quietly building one of the fastest, most dev-friendly blockchains on the planet.
Not just another chain, it is built for the metaverse, gaming, and real-time apps.
