Dreamwalking into the Virtual Society: The Somnia OnePager
Somnia is a 300k+tps EVM Layer 1 with Interoperability Protocols to unify metaverses, gaming, NFTs, and social platforms, creating a seamless, fully on-chain Virtual Society. Somnia opens up endless possibilities for builders to create portable and remixable content, or even upgrade existing NFTs. This new level of connectivity and composability will accelerate the development of a thriving creator economy and set the groundwork for a new era of imagination.
Today, the Virtual Society is divided into separate and incompatible worlds, with users stuck in closed and centralized environments. This limits the creator economy, preventing creators from fully exploring their innovations, monetizing their work, or adding utility to their NFTs and Web3 game assets. This also makes it extremely expensive to create on-chain experiences, and the accrued value goes to platform holders rather than creators themselves. While Web3 seems like a promising solution to this problem, there are still challenges to be addressed, like performance and the lack of an interoperable protocol to standardize how experiences work on-chain. This is holding back the growth and potential of the Virtual Society, but now there’s a solution.
Open and Unified Virtual Society
The necessity for an open and interoperable Virtual Society is at the core of Somnia’s mission. Somnia is enabling a network of open and unified experiences, not dominated by any single entity but rather collectively owned and governed by its community of users and creators.
Somnia’s Blockchain is designed to be scalable, affordable, and fast, optimized for high volume applications that need to support millions of users transacting at the same time. Somnia provides a set of protocols that enables assets, commerce, and avatars to move effortlessly across different worlds and blockchains. Together, the protocols and the blockchain act as the foundation for an ecosystem of applications and experiences where anything is possible.
Somnia is creating an inventive mechanism to share value across its participants, rewarding creators for building anything that others find useful or interesting. Somnia also encourages collaboration between creators by making it easy to recompose and remix content, and build on each other’s work.
With Somnia, creators also have the ability to expand the functionality of their existing NFTs, making them usable across various experiences on the network. By utilizing these features and capabilities, Somnia Network can bring together the $100 billion value that is currently divided between the blockchain gaming, metaverse, and NFT sectors to create a true virtual society.
The Somnia Ecosystem: Powering The Virtual Society
Somnia is powered by an expansive ecosystem of worlds and applications that are working together to create an open, connected Virtual Society. This ecosystem includes things like Metaverses, experience engines, Mapps, Somnia omni chain protocols, Somnia’s L1 blockchain, metaverse browsers, and sandbox environments for creators. To kickstart this ecosystem, Virtual Society Foundation, the foundation behinds Somnia is partnering with Improbable and MSquared, two of the biggest names in the metaverse. MSquared created Origin, which enables high-quality on-chain experiences where tens of thousands of people can interact in real-time in the same virtual space with interoperable objects.
MSquared has powered massive events including an official virtual ballpark with the Major League Baseball (MLB) organization in the US and concerts with the Kpop musicians like TWICE on Kosmopop. These high profile events will drive initial users to Somnia Network.
