An eight-year veteran in the crypto space, I've witnessed countless market changes. After all, the majority is rarely right, and opportunities belong only to the few.

Quick Introduction to Somnia

Somnia is a high-performance, low-cost EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that can confirm transactions in less than one second and supports over 1 million transactions per second (TPS). Designed for large-scale user groups, it is suitable for real-time applications fully on-chain, such as gaming, social applications, and the metaverse.

🔥 Quick Understanding of Somnia

With the rapid development of the blockchain industry, a core challenge remains in the Web3 evolution: How to achieve large-scale efficiency while maintaining decentralization? Existing scaling solutions mostly rely on parallel execution, but during peak times (such as popular NFT minting or a sudden surge in DEX trading volumes due to a token's rise), these parallel solutions often fail, causing the network to slow down or even become congested.

Many blockchain projects currently support the EVM technical standard, but in terms of throughput, they have not yet met the industry's standards. Looking at the transaction rates of Uniswap V3 and the real-world testing of Aptos and SUI, it is clear that the EVM standard still faces significant challenges for innovation!

Somnia's emergence aims to revolutionize this critical issue. In its early MVP stage, the Somnia blockchain successfully ran on over 100 nodes worldwide, achieving 1 million TPS. Moving forward, Somnia plans to deploy Uniswap to test the maximum number of transaction swaps per second and simulate large-scale NFT minting scenarios like Otherside. These real-user behavior simulations will provide a more accurate assessment of the blockchain's actual performance. Together, let's look forward to Somnia bringing us into the sub-second transaction era of blockchain!

How Somnia Creates the Sub-Second Transaction Era

Somnia has chosen a different scaling approach from ordinary blockchains:

First, it optimizes EVM compilation by directly translating bytecode into x86 instructions, making smart contract execution speeds comparable to hand-written C++ code.

Then, it leverages hardware-level parallelism, utilizing modern CPU optimization mechanisms to avoid the limitations of traditional software parallel execution.

Here's a simple analogy:

• Traditional EVM is like manually translating a book, where every word requires a dictionary lookup, making it very slow.

• Somnia, on the other hand, translates the entire book at once, making it as fast as reading in your native language!

This technical approach allows Somnia to achieve extremely high transaction throughput (millions of TPS) on a single core, even without relying on parallel execution across multiple CPU cores, and it remains highly efficient during peak loads.

🔥 Somnia's Vast Ecosystem

• Spartan Group, founded in 2017, is a leader in the Web3 space. As one of the most active venture investors, we support leading crypto companies and networks.

• MSquared provides tools and infrastructure for agencies, developers, and creators to build, scale, connect, and own incredible virtual worlds!

• Protofire discovers custom solutions to drive TVL and usage growth for Web3 projects, among many other significant supporters!

📌 Somnia's Core Vision

Somnia has chosen a different path: making a single core run faster rather than relying on parallel execution across multiple cores. This allows Somnia to maintain high performance under any load and provides a solid foundation for truly large-scale on-chain applications.

With the ability to achieve millions of TPS on a single core, Somnia can support truly large-scale global applications, including gaming, social, DeFi, and the metaverse.

It is not just a faster EVM but a key infrastructure for the future Web3 ecosystem, empowering developers, users, and the entire decentralized economy, allowing everyone to freely participate in the digital world.
