ℹ Overview of the Somnia Network

Somniais a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for handling real-time, mass-consumer applications—especially gaming, metaverse, and SocialFi. With capabilities exceeding1 million TPSandsub-second finality, Somnia enables large-scale on-chain experiences with minimal fees.

Core Performance Features

MultiStream Consensus:Validators operate independent "data chains," while a separate consensus chain (using PoS + BFT) aggregates final state. This partitions data production and consensus for massive scaling efficiency.
Accelerated Sequential Execution:Somnia compiles EVM bytecode into optimized native (x86) code, enabling ultra-fast, single-threaded execution. This design delivers sub‑second execution even under heavy usage.
IceDB — Custom High-Performance Storage:A purpose-built log-structured database enabling nanosecond‑level read/write speeds (70–100 ns). It supports precise gas estimation and snapshotting without Merkle tree overhead.
Advanced Streaming Compression:Leverages shared data stream history and BLS signature aggregation to compress inter-node data dramatically—preserving bandwidth and optimizing throughput.
