where we&#8217;re going. The past year brought major milestones for Somnia, from mainnet launch to a growing global presence, but what excites us most is what&#8217;s coming next.</p><h3>Reflecting on the Journey</h3><p>When Somnia&#8217;s mainnet went live in September, it marked the end of a long development cycle and the beginning of something much bigger. In the months since, we&#8217;ve been building relationships, listening to developers, and understanding what people actually want to create.</p><p>We spent significant time on the road this year, showing up at Korea Blockchain Week, EthCC, Devcon, and ETH Denver, along with numerous regional meetups around the world. These events were great opportunities to have real conversations with builders, investors, and community members who are pushing the Somnia ecosystem forward.</p><p>What we heard in those conversations started to shift our thinking. Gaming remains central to Somnia&#8217;s identity, and we continue to believe that games will be one of the primary drivers of mainstream blockchain adoption. But we also began to see how Somnia&#8217;s unique capabilities could enable entirely new categories of applications, particularly in areas that require real-time data.</p><h3>Broadening the Vision</h3><p>One of the recurring themes in our conversations this year was prediction markets. The success of platforms like Polymarket demonstrated that there&#8217;s massive demand for on-chain speculation, with billions of dollars in volume driven largely by political and macroeconomic events, with gamification and the tokenization of real-world outcomes adding fuel to the trend. But prediction markets have traditionally been constrained by the limitations of the blockchains they run on. Slow finality, high fees, and limited throughput make it difficult to create near real time markets that feel responsive and intuitive.</p><p>By August 2025, Polymarket had already generated <a href="https://www.ccn.com/news/crypto/polymarket-7-5-billion-2025-prediction-markets">$7.7B in volume</a>, and our estimates suggest that by the end of the year, this figure may have been closer to $20B. However, with many of the inefficiencies and limitations mentioned above, what might this figure have been in a more efficient market?</p><h3>New Possibilities for Prediction Markets</h3><p>Somnia is the only hyper-performance L1 with native AI power, operating at an order of magnitude faster than existing networks. We empower builders and traders to create real-time, autonomous, and fully decentralized products that were previously impossible and cannot be built anywhere else.</p><p>With over a million transactions per second, sub-second finality, and fees measured in fractions of a cent, the network can support prediction markets that operate at the speed of the events they&#8217;re tracking. This opens up possibilities that simply weren&#8217;t practical before, from real-time markets around live sporting events to granular predictions about individual plays or moments within a game. You could bet on the Super Bowl, a presidential speech, or Micro events during the FOMC press conference.</p><p>Gaming prediction markets represent an obvious intersection of Somnia&#8217;s core strengths.</p><p>Imagine watching a battle royale tournament and placing predictions on which player will be eliminated next, or betting on whether a speedrunner will beat their personal best during a live stream. These aren&#8217;t hypothetical use cases. They&#8217;re features that developers in our ecosystem are actively building, and Somnia Data Streams provides the infrastructure to make them work.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;d58ae677-b1b2-4997-9283-a2481846a466&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><h2><strong>Somnia Reactivity</strong></h2><p>The continued rollout of reactive features is central to our 2026 roadmap. This capability is extremely important for prediction markets. When outcomes need to be settled in real time, even small delays can create problems. A market that resolves seconds after the actual event feels broken to users, and those delays compound when you&#8217;re dealing with high-frequency, granular predictions. Reactivity ensures that applications can respond to on-chain events as they happen, which is essential for creating prediction experiences that feel seamless and trustworthy.</p><p>Beyond prediction markets, reactivity has applications across trading, insurance, gaming, and any other domain where real-time data matters. We&#8217;ve been working closely with developers throughout the year to refine the service based on their feedback, and the improvements rolling out in 2026 will make it even more powerful and accessible.</p><div class="native-video-embed" data-component-name="VideoPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;0127666c-1318-4101-b685-06ba3c7f243e&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:null}"></div><p></p><h2><strong>A Market of Markets</strong></h2><p>Perhaps the most exciting development we&#8217;re pursuing is what we&#8217;ve started calling the &#8220;market of markets&#8221; concept. The idea is simple in principle, but radical in its implications. Rather than limiting prediction markets to a predefined set of outcomes curated by a central platform, Somnia&#8217;s infrastructure enables anyone to create their own markets around virtually anything.</p><p>Want to create a prediction market around whether your favorite streamer will hit a certain subscriber count by the end of the month? You can do that. Want to let your community bet on the outcome of a local tournament that no major platform would ever cover? That&#8217;s possible too.</p><p>The permissionless nature of blockchain technology, combined with Somnia&#8217;s performance characteristics, means that prediction markets can become as granular and personalized as users want them to be.</p><p>This approach fundamentally changes the economics of prediction markets. Traditional platforms have to be selective about which markets they support because each one requires operational overhead. With Somnia, the cost of creating and running a market is negligible, which means that niche communities can build prediction experiences tailored to their specific interests.</p><p>The long tail of prediction markets becomes viable in a way it never was before.</p><h2><strong>The Road Ahead</strong></h2><p>Everything we&#8217;ve built so far has been shaped by the developers and community members who showed up early and told us what they needed. That collaborative approach continues in 2026, as we work alongside builders to bring real-time prediction markets and other applications to life.</p><p>The demand is clearly there. Polymarket and similar InfoFi platforms have proven that.</p><p>What&#8217;s been missing is blockchain infrastructure that can support these markets at the speed and scale users expect. That&#8217;s the gap we&#8217;re here to fill.</p><p>Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. We&#8217;re excited to see what we build together in 2026.</p><p><a href="https://x.com/Somnia_Network?lang=en">Follow us on X</a> to stay up to

Labs Dreamathon Incubator has reached its conclusion. The program was designed to identify, fund, and accelerate teams building reactive applications on Somnia, and the results have exceeded all expectations.</p><p>Ten projects have emerged as the first class of Dreamathon winners.</p><p>What makes Dreamathon different from other incubators is its focus on real-time, reactive applications that can only exist on infrastructure like Somnia. The program operated in partnership with Supafund, whose AI-driven intake and milestone scoring helped ensure that only the most committed and capable teams made it through the process. The teams that completed Dreamathon demonstrated consistent progress across multiple checkpoints, refined their ideas based on feedback, and built working prototypes that showcase what&#8217;s possible when you remove the usual blockchain limitations.</p><p>Here are the ten teams that will be shaping the Somnia ecosystem in the months ahead:</p><h2><strong><a

While major tokens have robust trading infrastructure with deep liquidity and sophisticated derivatives, smaller tokens often lack even basic shorting mechanisms. LIKWID addresses this gap directly by building a fully permissionless, oracle-free margin trading and lending protocol.</p><p>The oracle-free design is particularly significant because it eliminates one of the most common attack vectors in DeFi. Traditional lending protocols rely on external price feeds that can be manipulated during periods of volatility or through flash loan attacks. By removing this dependency, LIKWID creates a more resilient system that can operate autonomously regardless of external conditions. This kind of infrastructure is essential for Somnia&#8217;s ecosystem as it expands into more sophisticated financial applications.</p><h2><strong><a href="https://ball3.xyz/">BALL3</a></strong></h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png" width="1456" height="819" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:819,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PjXk!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F273e0662-91ef-4e88-bab4-82e9092d1bda_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Gaming on Somnia isn&#8217;t limited to complex MMOs or strategy titles. Sometimes the most compelling experiences are deceptively simple. BALL3 takes the addictive core gameplay of Agar.io and brings it fully onchain, creating a real-time PvP experience where players compete to outmaneuver opponents, grow their ball, and survive as long as possible.</p><p>The game demonstrates something important about Somnia&#8217;s capabilities. Real-time competitive multiplayer requires extremely low latency and high throughput because every player action needs to be processed and broadcast to all participants simultaneously. On most blockchains, this kind of gameplay would be impossible due to confirmation times measured in seconds rather than fractions of a second. BALL3 works on Somnia because the network can handle the rapid state changes that competitive gaming demands.</p><h2><strong><a href="https://valmira.xyz/">Valmira</a></strong></h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png" width="1456" height="819" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:819,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!0MGS!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4dff4d46-498e-421e-a739-94884e53ea0f_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Market making has traditionally been the domain of sophisticated trading firms with proprietary infrastructure and deep pockets. Valmira democratizes this by providing any token with professional-grade market-making bots and liquidity tools through a non-custodial, self-serve platform. Projects can set up their own market-making strategies in minutes without hidden fees, forced custody arrangements, or opaque deals.</p><p>The non-custodial aspect matters enormously here. Many existing market-making services require projects to hand over their tokens or treasury funds, creating counterparty risk and potential conflicts of interest. Valmira&#8217;s approach keeps projects in control of their assets while still providing the liquidity infrastructure they need to build healthy trading markets.</p><h2><strong><a href="https://www.bitredict.xyz/">Bitredict</a></strong></h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png" width="1456" height="819" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:819,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!eRHI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9953ee28-d9de-42f0-b48d-9043bd4444fe_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Prediction markets exploded in popularity over the past year, with platforms processing billions of dollars in volume around political and economic events.

The accuracy-based mechanics create incentives for participants to develop real expertise in specific domains, which in turn generates more useful information for everyone using the platform.</p><h2><strong><a href="https://www.web3packs.com/">Packara</a></strong></h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png" width="1456" height="819" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:819,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!2gHG!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F222e2f2b-cff9-456b-bbf4-a09d2621ded0_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Crypto investing has always suffered from friction. Building a diversified portfolio typically requires multiple transactions across different platforms, each with its own gas fees and approval processes. Packara solves this by offering curated, one-click portfolios that bundle tokens, liquidity positions, and yield strategies into a single transaction.</p><p>The efficiency gains here are substantial. Instead of executing dozens of individual swaps and deposits, users can achieve the same result with one action. This reduces gas costs significantly while also saving time and reducing the cognitive load of managing multiple positions. For Somnia, where transaction costs are already minimal, Packara makes sophisticated portfolio strategies accessible to users who might otherwise stick with simpler approaches.</p><h2><strong><a href="https://derad.net/">Derad Network</a></strong></h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png" width="1456" height="819" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:819,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tLSX!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F835092df-8dd5-4bdc-9c76-f1a960ec6b68_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Some of the most interesting applications of blockchain technology have nothing to do with finance.

Commercial aircraft tracking networks are concentrated in wealthy regions with dense air traffic, leaving large portions of the globe with spotty or nonexistent coverage.

By offloading these responsibilities, Burnie allows creators to focus on the creative work itself while the platform handles the growth infrastructure.</p><h2><strong><a href="https://peridot.finance/">Peridot Finance</a></strong></h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png" width="1456" height="819" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:819,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hdhX!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72d77a09-310e-4861-a8f3-93da4785857d_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Cross-chain interactions remain one of the most friction-filled experiences in crypto. Users who want to access opportunities on different networks typically need to bridge assets manually, waiting for confirmations and paying multiple transaction fees along the way. Peridot Finance streamlines this process through a Hub and Spoke architecture that enables users to deposit collateral on one chain and borrow on another seamlessly.</p><p>The architecture is elegant in its simplicity. Rather than requiring users to move assets between chains themselves, Peridot manages the cross-chain coordination behind the scenes. Users interact with a single interface while the protocol handles the complexity of maintaining positions across multiple networks. This kind of abstraction layer is essential for bringing more mainstream users into DeFi.</p><h2><strong><a href="https://x.com/CarbonOpus">Carbon Opus</a></strong></h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png" width="1456" height="819" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:819,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kzpv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F302e02c6-b2c8-4ceb-841b-7b48f43031a0_1600x900.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The music industry has been particularly slow to adopt blockchain technology despite being one of the sectors that could benefit most from decentralized ownership and direct creator-to-fan relationships.

Every wallet has its own interface, every chain has its own requirements, and merchants have no simple way to accept payments from the entire ecosystem. DPay aggregates all of this complexity into a standard QR code that works with any wallet, making crypto payments as simple as they should have been from the start.</p><p>Beyond the payment mechanism itself, DPay introduces instant onchain rewards that actually belong to customers. Unlike traditional loyalty programs where points exist in proprietary databases controlled by merchants, DPay rewards are tokens that users own and can use however they want.

For founders interested in building on infrastructure that removes the traditional constraints of blockchain development, the next round of applications will open soon.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somnia DevCircle Launches in Lagos]]></title><description><![CDATA[A High-Signal Builder Room and the Start of Something Bigger.]]></description><link>https://blog.somnia.network/p/somnia-devcircle-launches-in-lagos</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.somnia.network/p/somnia-devcircle-launches-in-lagos</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Emmanuel Odianosen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 21 Dec 2025 14:52:51 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Giw1!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb3ff2290-3331-4296-9b68-98ff8d1891c2_4104x2736.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a developer in Lagos and you want to ship a real onchain product in 2026, not just attend meetups and &#8220;network&#8221;, this is for you.

exactly the kind of signal we care about. The developers who attended rated the experience <strong>10/10</strong>, which tells us the content, speakers, and overall value were strong. </p><p>More importantly, the room wasn&#8217;t filled with spectators; it had real builders and real products. We had <strong>four active projects</strong> represented, including a hackathon winner, teams that have been building consistently even without winning, and a team exploring a port to Somnia. That&#8217;s the kind of foundation you want if the goal is to build from Lagos for a global market.</p><p>Many thanks to the facilitators: <a href="https://x.com/mr_abims">Adebayo Abimbola</a>, <a href="https://x.com/kohawithstuff">Joshua Omobola</a>, <a href="https://x.com/bolajahmad_">Bolaji Ahmad</a>, and the Somnia DevRel team. The sessions were highly focused and converted strongly into the thing that matters most long-term: a committed builder community.</p><h3>The Start of Something Bigger</h3><p>That&#8217;s why <strong>Somnia DevCircle Lagos</strong> exists. It&#8217;s not a one-off event series. It&#8217;s a city-based builder community where developers meet regularly, learn by building, form teams, and ship projects on Somnia, through both IRL sessions and an active online home. The proof that this is already working is that the Telegram community created from the meetup has <strong>active conversations</strong>. That group is the nucleus, and we&#8217;re expanding it intentionally with more serious Lagos developers who want to build.</p><p>If you write TypeScript/JavaScript, Solidity, backend/fullstack systems, or you&#8217;re a data/analytics builder who wants to ship products that connect onchain activity to real user value, you belong in this community. If you&#8217;re a technical founder looking for collaborators in Lagos, you also belong here. The DevCircle is where you meet people who are not just &#8220;interested in Web3,&#8221; but are actually ready to commit to building.</p><p>Somnia&#8217;s intent is to support serious projects that emerge from DevCircles with ecosystem visibility, marketing and PR support, and in some cases grants for project teams. The mission is to support Lagos-based pipeline of onchain products that can compete in the global market, and do it with a community that keeps builders consistent and supported.</p><h3>Join Today!</h3><p>If you live in Lagos and you want to be part of this, join the Somnia DevCircle Lagos Telegram community <a href="https://t.me/+SGETiJnWAeBhNjI0">here</a>. </p><p>When you join, introduce yourself with your name, what you build, and what you want to ship in the next few months, so the right people in the community can connect with you quickly. And if you know one serious developer in Lagos who should be building with us, invite them too. This is how a real builder ecosystem forms: one committed developer at a time.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gearbox Protocol Integration Brings Composable Leverage to Somnia

access to leveraged DeFi strategies and credit accounts on the highest-performance EVM blockchain. Gearbox will also participate in the Somnia Liquidity Points program, meaning early users can earn rewards while exploring these new leverage capabilities.</p><p>Gearbox Protocol has established itself as a leader in composable leverage, processing over $1.5 billion in assets through its curator network. Unlike traditional leverage platforms that confine users to internal order books, Gearbox operates as a credit layer that allows borrowed capital to flow across the broader DeFi ecosystem.</p><h3>New SOMI Utility</h3><p>With this integration, SOMI holders will have the option of using Gearbox&#8217;s credit accounts, where users can deposit SOMI as collateral and borrow against it to execute leveraged strategies across DeFi protocols. This brings new utility to the SOMI token and gives holders additional opportunities for putting their assets to work.</p><p>With Gearbox Protocol, Somniacs can maintain exposure to SOMI while accessing liquidity to trade, provide liquidity, or deploy capital across multiple protocols at the same time. The credit account model allows these operations to happen through a single interface rather than requiring users to manage separate positions across different platforms.</p><p>Gearbox handles the complexity of margin management, liquidation thresholds, and position monitoring. Users interact with a credit account that automatically manages collateral ratios and exposure limits based on the assets they&#8217;ve deposited. For someone holding SOMI who wants to participate in a yield opportunity on another protocol, this removes the friction of unwinding positions or fragmenting capital across multiple wallets.</p><h3>Bringing DeFi Users into the Ecosystem</h3><p>Gearbox has an established user base that understands leverage, knows how to manage risk, and actively seeks opportunities to deploy capital efficiently. The integration creates a pathway for these DeFi users to discover Somnia through a familiar interface. Someone using Gearbox on another chain can now access SOMI and USDC markets, start building positions, and gradually explore what else exists in the ecosystem.</p><p>Leveraged DeFi strategies generate massive volumes of onchain activity. Many leverage protocols struggle with this volume because they&#8217;re built on infrastructure where every action carries meaningful latency and cost.</p><p>Somnia&#8217;s architecture changes this calculus. When a protocol can process over 1 million transactions per second with sub-second finality and sub-cent fees, the constraints that normally limit leveraged strategies start to disappear. Sophisticated trades that involve multiple steps, continuous rebalancing, or frequent position adjustments become viable in ways they aren&#8217;t on slower chains.</p><p>This applies to automated strategies that might rebalance dozens of times per day, structured products that need to adjust positions based on real-time data feeds, or credit protocols that need to perform constant health checks across thousands of positions. Gearbox strategies that would be prohibitively expensive to run elsewhere become practical on Somnia because the infrastructure can handle the transaction volume these operations generate.</p><h3>Infrastructure for Builders</h3><p>Beyond individual users deploying leverage, Gearbox functions as composable infrastructure that ecosystem projects can integrate without building their own credit systems.</p><p>This approach reduces development time and security risk. Credit systems are notoriously difficult to build safely because they involve managing other people&#8217;s money under volatile market conditions. By using Gearbox as infrastructure, projects get code that&#8217;s been stress-tested across multiple market cycles rather than building their own systems that might have undiscovered vulnerabilities.</p><p>For gaming specifically, this opens new design space. A battle royale game could let players leverage their token holdings to enter higher-stakes tournaments. A strategy game could enable borrowing against in-game assets to fund expansion. A prediction market could offer leveraged positions on match outcomes. These features would typically require extensive DeFi expertise to implement safely, but Gearbox makes them accessible to game developers who understand their players but don&#8217;t necessarily understand the complexities of DeFi.</p><h3>Market Launch and Initial Liquidity</h3><p>Somnia will provide $5 million in initial liquidity to activate the SOMI and USDC markets, giving users sufficient depth to execute strategies without excessive slippage.</p><p>This initial liquidity serves as a foundation rather than a permanent commitment. As users deploy capital and market makers add liquidity, the markets will develop their own depth and trading activity. The goal is to reach a point where the markets are self-sustaining, with enough participants that the initial bootstrap capital becomes a small fraction of total liquidity.</p><p>Invariant, a leading multichain AMM DEX, will act as a curator, setting parameters like collateral ratios, borrowing limits, and risk thresholds. These parameters determine how much users can leverage, which assets can serve as collateral, and when positions face liquidation. Getting these settings right is important because overly conservative parameters limit utility while overly aggressive ones create systemic risk.</p><h3>Start Earning Liquidity Points</h3><p>Gearbox&#8217;s participation in the Somnia Liquidity Points program means users who provide liquidity or engage with the new markets can earn rewards. Adding Gearbox to the mix gives users another avenue to accumulate points while accessing professional-grade leverage infrastructure.</p><p>If you haven&#8217;t joined the Liquidity Points program yet, now is the time. Visit the <a href="https://liquidity.somnia.network/">Somnia Liquidity Points dashboard</a> to connect your wallet, explore eligible pools, and start earning.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Developers Experiment With Somnia Data Streams in Mini Hackathon]]></title><description><![CDATA[Developers from around the world

Every run is logged to Somnia blockchain via the Streams SDK, creating verifiable and immutable leaderboards where scores cannot be manipulated and player progress persists across sessions through wallet authentication and onchain score storage. The game features an AI Strategy Assistant powered by Amazon Q that tracks performance statistics like final score, time survived, enemy kill count, and final build choices, then analyzes this data to

Streams to detect live smart contract exploits through behavioral transaction analysis rather than static code scanning. The platform monitors runtime behavior to identify complex attack patterns including flash loans, governance takeovers, MEV bots, transaction floods, and reconnaissance attacks, addressing the challenge that over 70% of DeFi exploits involve behavioral patterns that unfold across multiple transactions rather than simple code flaws.</p><p>The system combines behavioral detection with AI validation through Gemini API to classify exploits and assign confidence scores, providing a real-time dashboard with WebSocket-driven updates that shows live risk feeds, historical insights, and contract watchlist management. By using Somnia Data Streams to monitor Somnia&#8217;s high transaction throughput and detect multi-step attacks as they unfold, ChainGuard demonstrates how SDS can power security infrastructure that reduces exploit detection time from hours to seconds for DeFi protocols building on the network.</p><h3>Battle Arena</h3><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

responsive real-time bidding experiences that eliminate the 3-5 second delays and stale state updates that make competitive auctions nearly impossible on traditional blockchain marketplaces. The platform creates a real-time layer where bidders see auction updates, place bids, and receive synchronized state changes instantly while preserving blockchain security by keeping all core transactions onchain with proper validation and settlement. NexusBid handles deposits, refunds, platform fees, and NFT transfers automatically, providing sellers with a plug-and-play auction system and giving bidders the smooth, immediate feedback required for competitive bidding. By using Data Streams to synchronize auction state across all participants without forcing users to wait for blockchain confirmations between each bid, NexusBid demonstrates how real-time data infrastructure can enable the kind of fast-paced marketplace experiences that have been impractical on slower blockchains where delayed updates destroy the competitive dynamics that make auctions compelling.</p><h3>So-Mines</h3><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

make every outcome, event, and reward verifiable on the blockchain, eliminating the hidden backend logic of traditional Web2 games. The platform stores round results, winning numbers, payouts, and state transitions through SDS, with rounds triggered automatically by smart contracts to ensure no human interference in game execution. Players see round changes instantly through SDS polling and event-driven updates, creating responsive gameplay that feels as smooth as Web2 while maintaining the transparency and verifiability of web3. Total pools, winners, and payouts are visible to anyone onchain, demonstrating how Data Streams can power real-time gaming experiences where fairness is provable and game logic runs entirely on the blockchain rather than centralized servers.</p><h3>The Data Streams Difference</h3><p>The hackathon projects highlighted here demonstrate how Data Streams allows developers to build prediction markets that feel alive, games where leaderboards update instantly, social platforms without refresh buttons, and security systems that detect exploits in real time. Data Streams changes when applications learn about state changes, turning polling delays into push notifications so web3 applications can match the immediacy users expect from modern software while preserving the decentralization and verifiability that make blockchain valuable.</p><p>Check out the <a href="https://datastreams.somnia.network/">Data Streams</a> website and sign up for the mailing list to be the first to find out about new updates!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Provide Liquidity on Somnia.Exchange]]></title><description><![CDATA[Providing liquidity on Somnia.exchange lets you earn trading fees while supporting the network&#8217;s DeFi ecosystem.]]></description><link>https://blog.somnia.network/p/how-to-provide-liquidity-on-somniaexchange</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.somnia.network/p/how-to-provide-liquidity-on-somniaexchange</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Somnia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Nov 2025 16:07:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hI5t!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F11e31740-8dc4-4170-a7f2-39c74c31acc8_1600x813.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Providing liquidity on <a href="https://somnia.exchange/">Somnia.exchange</a> lets you earn trading fees while supporting the network&#8217;s DeFi ecosystem. This tutorial walks through the complete process of adding and removing liquidity from pools.</p><p>When you provide liquidity, you&#8217;re depositing two tokens into a trading pool that others can swap against. In return, you receive LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens representing your share of the pool. As traders use the pool, you earn a portion of their fees proportional to your stake.</p><p>In addition to trading fees, you&#8217;ll also be earning points for the <a href="https://liquidity.somnia.network/">Somnia Liquidity Points Program</a>. </p><h2><strong>Getting Started</strong></h2><p>First, navigate to the &#8220;<a href="https://somnia.exchange/pools">Pools</a>&#8221; section on Somnia.exchange.

If it displays &#8220;Active Pool,&#8221; you&#8217;re good to proceed.</p><p><strong>Current Reserves</strong> shows how much of each token is already in the pool. In the example above, the pool contains 307,439 SOMI and 84,009 USDC.e. Larger reserves generally mean more stable pricing and lower slippage for traders.</p><p><strong>Pool Ratio</strong> displays the current exchange rate. Understanding this helps you gauge whether you&#8217;re adding liquidity at a fair price.</p><p><strong>Your Share After</strong> shows what percentage of the pool you&#8217;ll own after this deposit. Starting from 0% means you&#8217;ll be one of the first providers, which comes with both higher potential rewards and higher risk.</p><p><strong>Slippage Tolerance</strong> controls how much price movement you&#8217;ll accept during the transaction. The default 0.1% works for most situations. You can adjust this by clicking the settings icon if you&#8217;re adding a large amount or if the transaction fails.</p><h2><strong>Confirming the Transaction</strong></h2><p>Once you&#8217;ve entered amounts and reviewed the details, click &#8220;Enter Amounts&#8221; to proceed. This activates the confirmation flow.</p><p>Depending on whether this is your first time providing these tokens, you might need to approve token spending before adding liquidity. The interface will prompt you to &#8220;Approve&#8221; one or both tokens, which gives the smart contract permission to move your tokens.</p><p>After approval, click &#8220;Add Liquidity&#8221; to execute the deposit. Your wallet will prompt you to confirm the transaction. Once confirmed and processed, you&#8217;ll receive LP tokens representing your share of the pool.</p><p>These LP tokens sit in your wallet like any other token. They track your ownership and let you remove liquidity later.</p><h2><strong>Removing Liquidity</strong></h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png" width="1451" height="806" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:806,&quot;width&quot;:1451,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9Kkg!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3b8eef8e-553b-4b5b-b102-67f153cf3820_1451x806.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>When you want to withdraw navigate to &#8220;My Pools,&#8221; and click &#8220;Remove&#8221; on your position.

This can be extremely painful if the price bumps back up to $90 after you get stopped out of your position. If you have a trading strategy, the infrastructure that you&#8217;re using to carry it out needs to work and it needs to be precise.</p><p>Your stop loss orders are also visible on centralized exchanges so market makers know exactly where the stop loss clusters sit. When prices approach those levels, sophisticated traders can execute trades ahead of those clusters, turning what should have been a protective mechanism into a target. This is why it&#8217;s always a good idea to set stop losses at odd numbers instead of round figures, because you will be separated from the large batches, but this still won&#8217;t save you during a flash crash.</p><p>Even with onchain solutions that operate transparently, polling creates blind spots. Most liquidation bots check the blockchain repeatedly, waiting for responses. In many cases, the market has already moved by the time they detect a threshold breach and submit a transaction. This delay becomes fatal during flash crashes, with positions falling into liquidation territory while bots are still processing old price data.</p><h4>The Data Streams Advantage</h4><div

Instead of constantly checking prices, applications subscribe to the feeds they need and receive automatic updates the moment state changes occur. Liquidation bots can subscribe to a lending protocol&#8217;s collateral health feed, receiving automatic updates when positions approach unsafe territory.</p><p>This subscription model creates a major speed advantage when combined with Somnia&#8217;s sub-second finality. Detection, execution, and confirmation all happen in under a second, which is faster than most blockchains can even produce a new block. Most onchain liquidation bots get price updates only when new blocks are produced, which creates windows where crashes can happen undetected. Data Streams bots would be able to react within milliseconds of state changes because they&#8217;re notified as it happens.</p><p>It&#8217;s not just about speed though, the subscription model enables more sophisticated protection strategies. Data Streams bots can implement graduated responses because they don&#8217;t need to deal with the expense of constant monitoring. As collateral ratios decline, a bot might reduce exposure incrementally rather than triggering full liquidation. A 5% drop might trigger partial position closure, 10% could close more, and 15% could entirely close the position. This nuanced approach gives positions room to recover during temporary volatility while preventing catastrophic losses.</p><p>As we <a href="https://somnianetwork.substack.com/p/could-arbitrage-bots-built-with-data">covered previously</a>, data streams could also enable more efficient arbitrage bots, which could give arbitrage traders on Somnia an advantage while making the market as a whole more efficient.</p><p>If you have an interesting idea for leveraging Data Streams to build something cool on Somnia, join our <a href="https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/somnia-datastreams/detail">Hackathon</a> and show us what you dreamed up.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Provide Liquidity on Somnex to Earn Rewards ]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Somnia Liquidity Points program continues to reward Somniacs who contribute to the ecosystem&#8217;s growth, and one of the best ways to earn is by providing liquidity on Somnex.]]></description><link>https://blog.somnia.network/p/how-to-provide-liquidity-on-somnex</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.somnia.network/p/how-to-provide-liquidity-on-somnex</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Somnia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2025 14:35:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!MtF9!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d229c29-4a60-42c2-979a-b80ef0e021fa_1600x676.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Somnia Liquidity Points program continues to reward Somniacs who contribute to the ecosystem&#8217;s growth, and one of the best ways to earn is by providing liquidity on Somnex.

concentrating liquidity within specific price ranges. These pools let you deploy liquidity within custom price ranges, optimizing fee capture relative to price movement. You can choose from selectable fee tiers ranging from 0.05% to 1% depending on pair volatility, and set custom price ranges via tick-based boundaries for capital-efficient LP provisioning. This approach is ideal for advanced LPs who want to maximize returns through strategic price range selection and are comfortable actively managing positions.</p><p><strong>Here&#8217;s how to add liquidity to V3 Pools:</strong></p><ol><li><p>Choose your pair and fee tier, then set a price range</p></li><li><p>Add token amounts, ensuring both sides match the required ratio</p></li><li><p>Approve and confirm your position</p></li><li><p>Re-range as needed to keep your liquidity active as prices move</p></li></ol><p>V3 positions can generate higher fee income per dollar deployed, but they require more active management to maintain efficiency as prices move.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

provision across the full price spectrum. Yield potential increases with volatility, and they&#8217;re easy to manage since there&#8217;s no need to set custom ranges. This option is best for users comfortable with market risk and aiming for long-term gains.</p><p><strong>Here&#8217;s how to add liquidity to V2 Pools:</strong></p><ol><li><p>Choose your pair and deposit both tokens at a 50/50 value split unless otherwise specified</p></li><li><p>Approve and confirm your deposit</p></li><li><p>Earn swap fees continuously from that point forward</p></li></ol><p>V2 pools are particularly useful for newer tokens in the Somnia ecosystem and for LPs who prefer a set-it-and-forget-it approach.</p><div

steps. Applications can subscribe to data feeds and receive updates the moment state changes, eliminating the lag that comes from polling or waiting for indexers. This breakthrough will open up new pathways for developers, but it&#8217;s more than just a backend improvement. This could have major implications for trading, and potentially be a big opportunity for traders on Somnia. In markets where everyone has access to the same information, speed often determines who captures value first.</p><h3>Somnia Flash Boys</h3><p>Michael Lewis&#8217;s book <em>Flash Boys</em> tells the true story of how high-frequency traders gained massive advantages by shaving microseconds off trade execution times. Some firms paid for direct data feeds from exchanges and famously placed servers physically closer to exchanges. If they were next door to the exchange, they would get the information a split second sooner than firms on the other side of town. These efforts created very small advantages that resulted in very large profits because they were able to respond to the market much faster than their competition.</p><p>Blockchain markets operate under similar dynamics. When arbitrage opportunities appear, the first bot to detect and execute the trade captures the profit. When a liquidation threshold is breached, the fastest responder collects the reward. When a prediction market updates odds based on new information, early movers position themselves before the crowd reacts.</p><p>Right now, many high-frequency blockchain traders rely on trading apps and bots that check for updates repeatedly or wait for third-party services to process new data. There&#8217;s inherent lag in this model. Somnia Data Streams removes that lag. Applications subscribed to the right data feeds receive updates instantly, so trading bots built on Somnia with Data Streams can see price changes the moment they happen.</p><p>Applications and bots that carry out trades automatically according to certain parameters are common, but they are not directly subscribed to the data, so there are multiple processes that need to be carried out to execute the trade, which slows down settlement time.</p><p>In theory, this could create a structural advantage for anyone building on Somnia, and potentially even give an edge to sophisticated traders with bots. Faster information means faster decisions and faster decisions mean capturing opportunities others miss. Somnia Data Streams creates the same kind of structural speed advantage that the infamous Flash Boys exploited on Wall Street.</p><p>Consider a typical arbitrage scenario. Token X trades at $100 on one DEX and $102 on another. This is an information gap as much as it is a price gap. An arbitrage bot monitoring both pools can buy on the cheaper exchange and sell on the expensive one, pocketing the difference, but this only works if the bot sees the opportunity before someone else takes advantage of it. In active markets, these discrepancies disappear in seconds as arbitrage traders pile in, which is why the price gap is so heavily correlated with the information gap.</p><h3>Rethink What&#8217;s Possible</h3><p>Data Streams is something that will change how blockchain applications are developed, making entirely new use cases possible. The impacts could be larger than we are even able to predict. Access to more efficient arbitrage bots is just one potential way that Data Streams can give traders on Somnia an advantage. There are likely many other breakthroughs that developers will dream up when they get their hands on Data Streams.</p><p>If you have an idea for a reactive arbitrage bot or any other application that responds to onchain events, consider joining the <a href="https://dorahacks.io/hackathon/somnia-datastreams/detail">Mini-Hackathon</a> and win some SOMI for your idea!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Provide Liquidity on QuickSwap]]></title><description><![CDATA[Season 1 of the Somnia Liquidity Points (SLP) program is live, and over 48,000 users are already earning rewards by providing liquidity across the ecosystem.]]></description><link>https://blog.somnia.network/p/how-to-provide-liquidity-on-quickswap</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.somnia.network/p/how-to-provide-liquidity-on-quickswap</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Somnia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 03 Nov 2025 19:28:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8U9X!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F624d6b8a-21d1-4f1c-899b-bd8f5b0866a7_1200x675.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8U9X!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F624d6b8a-21d1-4f1c-899b-bd8f5b0866a7_1200x675.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8U9X!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F624d6b8a-21d1-4f1c-899b-bd8f5b0866a7_1200x675.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8U9X!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F624d6b8a-21d1-4f1c-899b-bd8f5b0866a7_1200x675.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8U9X!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F624d6b8a-21d1-4f1c-899b-bd8f5b0866a7_1200x675.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8U9X!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F624d6b8a-21d1-4f1c-899b-bd8f5b0866a7_1200x675.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8U9X!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F624d6b8a-21d1-4f1c-899b-bd8f5b0866a7_1200x675.jpeg" width="1200" height="675" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/624d6b8a-21d1-4f1c-899b-bd8f5b0866a7_1200x675.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:675,&quot;width&quot;:1200,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;QuickSwap &#128050;

Choose Your Strategy</strong></h3><p>You&#8217;ll have the option to select a liquidity strategy. These are your choices:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Full Range:</strong> Your liquidity is spread across all possible prices. This is the safest option but earns lower fees.</p></li><li><p><strong>Safe:</strong> A moderately wide range that balances earning potential with reduced risk of going out of range.</p></li><li><p><strong>Common:</strong> A tighter range focused around the current price, offering higher fee earnings with moderate management needs.</p></li><li><p><strong>Expert:</strong> The narrowest range for maximum capital efficiency and fee generation, but requires active monitoring as price movements can quickly push your liquidity out of range.</p></li></ul><div

Enter Your Deposit Amounts</strong></h3><p>Enter the amount you want to provide for one of the tokens. The interface will automatically calculate the proportional amount needed for the second token based on the current pool ratio.</p><p>You can also click &#8220;MAX&#8221; next to either token to use your entire balance, but be careful to leave yourself enough gas to use the network.</p><h3><strong>6. Approve Your Tokens</strong></h3><p>If this is your first time providing these specific tokens to QuickSwap, you&#8217;ll need to approve them.</p><p>This will require one transaction for each token, but you do not need to approve SOMI, since it is the native token of the network.</p><h3><strong>7. Preview and Confirm</strong></h3><p>After approving your tokens, click the &#8220;Create Position&#8221; button. Next, a popup will appear showing:</p><ul><li><p>The exact amounts being deposited</p></li><li><p>Your share of the pool</p></li><li><p>The exchange rate</p></li><li><p>Estimated transaction fees</p></li></ul><p>Review these details carefully. When everything looks correct, click &#8220;Confirm&#8221; and approve the transaction in your wallet.</p><h3><strong>8. Receive Your LP Tokens</strong></h3><p>After the transaction confirms, you&#8217;ll receive LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens representing your share of the pool. These tokens will appear in your wallet and in the &#8220;Your Liquidity Pools&#8221; section of QuickSwap.</p><p>Your LP tokens automatically earn you a share of trading fees proportional to your portion of the pool.</p><h2><strong>Removing Liquidity</strong></h2><p>When you&#8217;re ready to withdraw your liquidity:</p><ol><li><p>Navigate to your liquidity pool using the &#8220;Your Positions&#8221;

because it&#8217;s become such a bureaucratic nightmare to deal with. There are also way too many situations where people don&#8217;t get the coverage they pay for when they need it the most.</p><p>Traditional insurance companies use a claims model that hasn&#8217;t really changed since the 1800s. When a claim is filed, the insurance company representatives investigate whether the claim is valid, often involving lawyers to dispute the charges. Somnia Data Streams could radically change this dynamic by enabling insurance products that trigger and pay automatically based on verifiable onchain events with no corporate middlemen.</p><p>The technology that enables these capabilities is Somnia&#8217;s Data Streams infrastructure, which allows applications to subscribe to real-time event feeds instead of constantly polling the blockchain for updates. When combined with Somnia&#8217;s processing capacity of over one million transactions per second and sub-cent fees, insurance products gain the ability to respond to real-world events as they happen, at scale, without the overhead that makes traditional insurance expensive and slow to execute.</p><p>Here are just a few basic use-cases that we see taking form after the onchain launch of Data Streams.</p><h3>Flight Delay Insurance That Actually Works</h3><p>Somnia Data Streams enables a completely different model of flight insurance that becomes invisible and automatic. When travelers buy tickets, they can add insurance at checkout and the smart contract will immediately subscribe to flight status feeds from multiple sources. Then the payout structure could respond proportionally to any delays that might happen.</p><p>When flights are delayed by more than 30 minutes, passengers could automatically receive $50 in their wallets. Delays over 2 hours could trigger a higher payment of $200, while complete cancellations might result in full ticket refunds plus additional compensation. The payment arrives while passengers are still sitting in airport lounges, without any forms or claims process.</p><h3>Crop Insurance for Individual Farmers</h3><p>Modern agriculture operates within increasingly unpredictable weather patterns due to the earth&#8217;s changing climate. Late freezes can destroy entire orchards&#8217; annual income, droughts can eliminate grain harvests, and excessive rainfall can cause crops to rot in fields before harvest. Traditional crop insurance requires extensive documentation, yield verification, and claims processing that can stretch for months. These delays often mean payments arrive too late to help farmers survive until the next growing season, forcing many into bankruptcy despite having insurance coverage.</p><p>Somnia&#8217;s infrastructure enables granular crop coverage that automatically responds to local conditions specific to individual farms. A wheat farmer in Kansas can purchase drought insurance that triggers based on rainfall data from weather stations within 10 miles of their actual fields. Smart contracts could subscribe to data feeds from national and private weather services, and IoT soil moisture sensors that farmers place directly on their land.</p><h3>Instant Earthquake Insurance for Homeowners</h3><p>Earthquake insurance in seismically active regions is notoriously expensive and complicated. California homeowners typically face deductibles of 15% of their home&#8217;s value, meaning an $800,000 home carries a $120,000 deductible before insurance coverage even begins. When earthquakes do strike, claims processing takes months while families live in damaged homes or pay for temporary housing out of pocket, waiting for insurance companies to complete their investigations.</p><p>Somnia-powered earthquake insurance would improve this model through real-time response to seismic events. Insurance contracts subscribe to seismic monitoring networks, structural sensor grids, and damage assessment feeds from multiple sources.</p><p>When an earthquake above 5.0 magnitude strikes within 50 miles of an insured property, the smart contract immediately releases emergency funds of $5,000 for temporary housing. This payment requires no action from the policyholder and arrives within minutes of the seismic event. As additional damage assessment data flows in from various sources, the insurance contract triggers graduated payouts based on actual conditions.</p><h3>Shipping Insurance That Tracks Every Package</h3><p>Shipping insurance rarely works out like we expect to. When something is lost in transit, the insurance is not automatic, and it is often never paid out at all. Customers will always face an uphill battle proving damage or loss when problems occur. Claims require extensive evidence with photos and other forms of documentation. The process usually ends with partial payouts arriving months after the initial incident, long after customers needed the compensation.</p><p>Somnia-powered shipping insurance could pay out as soon as the item is lost or damaged.</p><p>Merchants could seamlessly integrate insurance directly into their shipping options at checkout. Free shipping might include basic coverage for damage and loss, while priority shipping could incorporate comprehensive protection with additional monitoring. The automation eliminates claims processing overhead, allowing damaged goods to trigger automatic reorders and lost packages to initiate immediate refunds.</p><h3>Gig Worker Income Protection</h3><p>Gig economy workers face income volatility that traditional insurance can&#8217;t address. For example, rideshare drivers can lose days of income if they have a car problem or face an injury. In these cases the workers often live paycheck-to-paycheck, the speed of the payouts will be especially important.</p><p>Somnia enables micro-duration income insurance that gig workers can activate by the day or week. A Lyft driver would buy coverage each morning for a small amount that triggers if their daily earnings fall below historical averages. Smart contracts could subscribe to gig platform APIs, tracking actual earnings in real-time.</p><p>If the driver usually makes $200 on Fridays but only earns $100 due to low demand, insurance could cover the difference depending on how much they paid forward. If their car breaks down mid-shift, coverage activates based on expected lost earnings. The premiums might be just $5-10 per day, affordable from daily earnings.</p><p>For delivery workers, weather-based coverage could compensate for lost income during storms when delivery demand drops. Coverage triggers based on precipitation data and historical order volumes. Workers get protected from circumstances beyond their control without long-term insurance commitments.</p><h3>What Will The Builders Dream Up?</h3><p>When a new blockchain feature like this is made available, it&#8217;s often unpredictable what builders will come up with. Of course, there are always some obvious use-cases, like the ones that we have laid out, but the hive mind of humanity is unmatched, and will often create things that nobody ever imagined, and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re most excited about. We can&#8217;t wait to see how builders will leverage these new abilities to make business easier and lives better for people around the world.</p><p><em><strong>To be the first to find out about the

Just weeks after launch, more than 48,000 unique users are now providing liquidity across pools on Somnia.</p><p>The numbers show genuine participation with activity spread across <a href="https://somnex.xyz/">Somnex</a>, <a href="https://somnia.exchange/">Somnia Exchange</a>, <a href="https://quickswap.exchange/">Quickswap</a>, and <a href="https://tokos.fi/">Tokos</a>.</p><p>Early depositors are already seeing their loyalty multipliers climb. The time-weighted formula means users who joined in the first days of Season 1 have built up stronger positions than those jumping in now, but there&#8217;s still 60+ days left in the season for new participants to earn meaningful rewards.</p><p>The 48,000 Somniacs who joined so far represent a mix of wallet sizes. Small holders are active across all pools, with many choosing the SOMI/USDC.e pairs on different exchanges to maximize their multipliers. Transaction patterns show that most users are committing liquidity for extended periods rather than rotating in and out.</p><p>If you haven&#8217;t joined yet, now is the time. The 90-day season is still in its early phase, which means there&#8217;s plenty of time to build up a good position.</p><p>Getting started takes just a few steps. Connect your wallet to the SLP dashboard, review the available pools and their current multipliers, deposit liquidity into your chosen pool, and track your progress on the leaderboard.</p><p>The dashboard shows your current points, estimated yields, and how your position compares to others. It also displays which pools still have capacity under their TVL caps, making it easy to find the best opportunities.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

Polymarket processed over <a href="https://defillama.com/protocol/dexs/polymarket">$20 billion</a> in volume, with no signs of slowing down. People are clearly hungry for ways to put money behind their opinions on everything from elections to economic outcomes.</p><p>But we&#8217;re still early.</p><p>The platforms that exist today prove the demand, but they&#8217;re constrained by the same fundamental limitation. The markets live onchain, but almost everything else happens somewhere offchain. Events occur in the real world, oracles report the outcomes, and then contracts can finally settle. The next evolution of prediction markets is about bringing the data itself entirely onchain.</p><p>Somnia Data Streams is infrastructure that lets applications subscribe to onchain data and get automatic updates when state changes. Instead of constantly polling the blockchain or waiting for periodic oracle posts, applications receive a continuous stream of information as events happen.</p><p>For prediction markets, this changes everything. Markets can subscribe to live event data, update odds in real time as situations develop, and settle bets instantly when outcomes are verified. The data feeding these markets isn&#8217;t coming from a trusted third party anymore. It&#8217;s published directly onchain by the source.</p><p>Let&#8217;s take a moment to imagine some of the new markets that can be created with this new breakthrough.</p><h3>Content Performance and Creator Markets</h3><p>Content creators generate data about views, engagement, and audience growth. When this data is onchain, markets can form around how content performs.</p><p>A creator might launch a video and immediately have markets around whether it hits certain view thresholds, engagement rates, or subscriber growth. These markets could get very active when particular content creators are having a feud or some type of drama. Considering that some of the top Twitch streamers have tens of thousands of people watching them live at any given moment, these are very realistic scenarios.</p><p>This extends to longer-term creator success. Markets could form around whether a channel reaches certain milestones by specific dates, or how a creator&#8217;s audience will grow over time. Settlement can happen automatically based on verifiable onchain metrics, but platforms would need to ensure that these metrics are verified. In this example, there is a possibility for content creators to skew the metrics with bots, so there will need to be some checks on the platform level. Perhaps only platforms that are provably fair would be considered for these markets.</p><h3>Racing Data Enables Granular Markets</h3><p>Racing generates enormous amounts of structured data. Lap times, sector splits, position changes, pit stop timing. When this data streams onchain as the race happens, you can build markets around all of it.</p><p>Traditional racing bets let you pick the winner or maybe the podium. With live data, you can bet on sector times, overtakes in specific laps, pit strategies, or whether the leader will maintain their gap over the next five laps. Each lap creates fresh betting opportunities as the data updates.</p><p>When the race ends, every market settles instantly based on the onchain record. This is possible because the timing data was published continuously, and contracts executed based on verified information. The people who collect the data and put it onchain can also monetize it, which encourages even more data, which will lead to even deeper markets and more complex bets.</p><h3>Financial Betting Markets With Instant Settlement</h3><p>Financial prediction markets currently rely on price feeds posted periodically by oracles. This works for daily or hourly settlements but limits the types of markets you can offer.</p><p>Continuous price data streaming onchain enables markets on intraday price movements, volatility over specific time windows, or relative performance between assets in real time. A market might offer positions on whether an asset will move more than 2% in the next hour, or whether one stock will outperform another before market close.</p><p>These markets can also settle instantly when conditions are met. If you bet that volatility will spike above a threshold and it does, your position settles immediately based on the onchain price data.</p><p>This can extend to the world of crypto as well. Onchain governance already generates verifiable data about proposals, votes, and outcomes. This data can power prediction markets about what will pass, how different communities will vote, or when proposals will reach quorum. This might even create some excitement around DAO governance and encourage more participation from token holders.</p><h3>Markets Beyond What We Can Predict</h3><p>Once infrastructure exists to stream any kind of event data onchain and let markets subscribe to it, prediction markets can form around anything measurable. A few potential examples could be supply chain milestones, weather patterns, social media trends, scientific research outcomes, or real estate price movements.</p><p>The examples that we shared today are merely scratching the surface of what&#8217;s possible, but we&#8217;re curious what ideas you could come up with. What sectors or activities would you like to place wagers on, but can&#8217;t with current prediction market infrastructure. </p><p><strong>Sign up for the Data Streams <a

course you&#8217;re not too late! We&#8217;re just getting started with building, and we&#8217;re just getting started with incentives too! We allocated 80 million SOMI for ongoing incentives to support the community, developers, and creators. That&#8217;s 8% of the total supply!</p><p>Somnia has built an entire system around continuous engagement and real incentives, and the numbers speak for themselves.</p><p>After the initial airdrop, Somnia had a nearly 50% retention rate, with 9% of Somniacs holding onto all of their tokens instead of immediately dumping them, which is far beyond industry standards. According to <a href="https://airdropbee.com/airdrop-selling-tge-analysis/">AirdropBee</a>, an average of 86.88% of all airdrop tokens are dumped at TGE, with some projects experiencing even higher percentages.<br><br>However, what&#8217;s even more telling is that retention increased after users unlocked additional tokens through weekly Somnia Odyssey missions, with 22% holding all tokens unlocked during the first week of October, and 50% holding onto some of their tokens. This means that sentiment about the future of Somnia has increased among the community since TGE.</p><p>That kind of retention is rare in web3, where most airdrops end in immediate sell-offs and ghost towns. So what makes Somnia different?</p><h3>Building a Culture of Participation</h3><p>Web3 incentives should be about creating real reasons for the community to explore the ecosystem and discover new applications. That philosophy led to the creation of the Somnia Quest Platform, which has already distributed tokens to nearly 100,000 users, and even after mainnet it will continue to grow with new seasons, new challenges, and new ways to get involved.</p><p>We feel that it is important to be clear about the incentives and which actions will actually be rewarded. Airdrop criteria is often shrouded in mystery and secrecy, which can sometimes cause tension between communities and projects because expectations are not aligned. This is why we developed the quest platform and also made testnet activities an important factor in the quests. At least 80% of the Somnia airdrop was given to users who actively participated in our testnet quests.</p><p>And remember, we&#8217;re just getting started!</p><p>If you haven&#8217;t checked it out yet, Season 5 is a huge opportunity because many people don&#8217;t even realize that quests are still happening. This means a bigger pool of rewards for those who participate.</p><h3>The Somnia Odyssey: An Airdrop Adventure</h3><p>Over eight weeks after TGE, users unlock their remaining airdrop allocations by completing missions in the <a href="https://odyssey.somnia.network/">Somnia Odyssey</a>. Each week brings a new chapter, a new set of challenges, and a new opportunity to interact with projects that showcase the speed and capabilities of the network. Along the way, Somniacs are minting NFTs, bridging assets, exploring games, trading tokens, and experiencing the kind of real-time performance that most blockchains can only dream about.</p><p>The free missions only require standard gas fees, and you have up to 90 days to complete them. Bonus missions offer additional XP and unlock hidden perks, but they&#8217;re completely optional.</p><p>This was a new and innovative way of distributing an airdrop, and not everyone was sure about it at first, because everyone wants their tokens immediately. However, the increased retention week by week shows that the structure has worked. People are exploring the Somnia ecosystem and finding value there. As they travel through the Odyssey and the quests, Somniacs are finding applications that they want to continue using and they&#8217;re sticking around.</p><h3>Don&#8217;t Sleep on Season 5!</h3><p>When users continue holding tokens after unlocking additional allocations, they&#8217;re signaling belief in what&#8217;s being built. A retention rate of over 50% with 22% of them having diamond hands, combined with the overall increase in retention since TGE, shows that exposure to the Somnia ecosystem strengthens conviction.</p><p>The <a href="https://quest.somnia.network/">Quest Platform</a> is still live, Season 5 is distributing rewards, and the mainnet ecosystem is still in its early stages. Start exploring the Somnia Quest Platform and see what Season 5 has to offer.</p><p>The incentives are real, the ecosystem is growing, and the best part? You&#8217;re not too late.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Somnia Data Streams Give Devs A Powerful Advantage ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Somnia Data Streams is coming,

applications handle real-time data.</p><p>Somnia&#8217;s architecture has enabled massive-scale applications to run entirely onchain, but more innovations are needed to fully realize their potential. Traditional blockchains struggle with reading and writing data at the speed and scale that these applications demand. Standard Ethereum RPCs were designed for Ethereum&#8217;s scale, not the demands of real time applications. They&#8217;re missing crucial features that developers have come to expect, like streaming state changes in real time.</p><p>Somnia Data Streams solves this by introducing new RPCs built specifically for high-performance reading and writing on Somnia. Instead of paying indexers to constantly poll the blockchain for every individual data call and update, applications can soon subscribe to the information they need and receive automatic updates whenever state changes. This low-latency subscription model eliminates redundant transactions, reduces costs, and enables real-time responsiveness that wasn&#8217;t possible before.</p><p>Data Streams makes building onchain applications feel more like working with modern databases like Firebase, while maintaining all the benefits of blockchain infrastructure.</p><h2><strong>Building Without Barriers</strong></h2><p>Currently, building a real-time blockchain application requires massive technical overhead. Developers need to set up complex systems just to track data changes, manage live updates, and handle user authentication without constant interruptions. Even after all this work, the experience still feels clunky compared to regular web applications.</p><p>Data Streams eliminates most of this complexity. It handles data subscriptions automatically, streamlines user authentication, and provides ready-made templates for common features. Developers can focus on building their actual product instead of rebuilding basic infrastructure from scratch.</p><p>This matters especially for traditional game studios and app developers who are used to modern tools like Firebase. For web3-native developers, Data Streams reduces reliance on external services. Instead of depending on third-party indexers or oracle networks, applications can consume verified state directly from the chain. This lowers trust assumptions, reduces points of failure, and cuts ongoing operational costs.</p><h2><strong>Better Prediction Markets</strong></h2><p>Prediction markets have exploded in popularity recently. Platforms like Polymarket are processing billions in volume, proving there&#8217;s massive demand for onchain speculation beyond just token trading. Despite this growth, the technology behind these platforms remains surprisingly primitive.</p><p>Most prediction markets today rely heavily on off-chain infrastructure. Oracles fetch outcomes from external sources. Settlement happens manually or through centralized third parties. This limits the types of bets that are possible. Complex, specific wagers are difficult to offer because there&#8217;s no way to verify outcomes and settle instantly. When disputes happen, the platform has to step in and decide who&#8217;s right. This turns the platform into a middleman you have to trust, which defeats the entire purpose of using blockchain in the first place.</p><p>Somnia Data Streams solves this problem by allowing applications to subscribe to structured event streams. This enables far more sophisticated markets. Instead of simple binary bets on match outcomes, users can wager on granular in-game events. Who scores the next goal. Which driver completes the fastest lap. How many kills a gamer executes in the next five minutes.</p><p>For racing, a betting market can tap directly into live timing data to track which driver is fastest. When the race ends, payouts happen automatically based on verified results. For team sports, live possession stats can shift betting odds in real time based on which team is controlling the ball. As the game unfolds, participants see odds adjust instantly to reflect what&#8217;s actually happening on the field.</p><p>This model scales to any domain where structured event data exists onchain, like Esports matches, financial instrument movements, governance proposal outcomes, and even AI model performance metrics. If the data is streaming through Somnia, a prediction market can be built around it.</p><h2><strong>Rethinking Insurance</strong></h2><p>Prediction markets on Somnia have implications that extend well beyond sports betting and gaming. One of the most compelling applications is insurance where payouts are triggered automatically based on verifiable events rather than lengthy claims processes.</p><p>Traditional insurance is slow and expensive. When a flight is delayed, a crop fails due to drought, or a natural disaster strikes, policyholders file claims, insurers investigate, and settlements can take weeks or months. The administrative overhead drives up costs, and disputes over coverage terms create friction at exactly the moment people need support most.</p><p>Somnia Data Streams enables a different model. Insurance contracts can subscribe to event streams that track flight departures, weather data, seismic activity, or any other measurable condition. When the predefined threshold is met, payouts execute automatically. A flight delayed by more than three hours triggers immediate compensation. Rainfall below a certain level activates crop insurance. An earthquake above a specified magnitude releases disaster relief funds.</p><p>This approach removes the need for claims adjusters, reduces processing costs, and eliminates disputes over whether an event qualifies for coverage. The data is onchain and verifiable. The contract executes deterministically. Policyholders receive funds instantly when they need them most, without paperwork or waiting periods.</p><p>The composability of Data Streams makes these products easier to build and more accessible. Weather data providers, flight tracking services, and IoT sensor networks can publish structured event streams that insurance products subscribe to directly. Developers don&#8217;t need to negotiate individual data partnerships or build custom integrations. They subscribe to the relevant schema and build their coverage logic on top.</p><p>This creates opportunities for new types of coverage that weren&#8217;t economically viable before. Microinsurance for gig workers. Event cancellation protection for small venues. Yield protection for individual farmers. The administrative costs that made these products unprofitable in traditional insurance disappear when settlement is automatic and trustless.</p><h2><strong>Data Streams and Somnia Dreams</strong></h2><p>Somnia has always been about removing the constraints that limit what can be built onchain. Data Streams takes that vision further by making real-time, reactive applications not just possible, but practical. What gets built next is up to the developers who see the potential and move first.</p><p>Data Streams with onchain reactivity will be fully available early next year, with the subscription RPCs rolling out first in the coming months, so <a href="https://datastreams.somnia.network/">sign up</a> for the mailing list and be first to know when the SDK is available!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somnia is Celebrating Mainnet With a 5-Day Gaming Party!]]></title><description><![CDATA[The games are

New incentives for liquidity providers are now active, and you don&#8217;t need to be a whale to get involved, so take a few minutes to learn what the Somnia Liquidity Points (SLP) program is all about. </p><p>The <strong><a href="https://liquidity.somnia.network/">Somnia Liquidity Points</a> </strong>program distributes rewards to users who add liquidity to the core protocols that power the ecosystem. </p><h3><strong>How It Works</strong></h3><p>Somniacs can begin earning SLP points by adding funds to selected pools. The longer their liquidity stays active, the more rewards they receive. Each pool has its own multipliers and caps, which encourage balance and prevent whales from dominating rewards.</p><p>To participate, users can provide liquidity through designated pools on <strong><a href="https://somnex.xyz/">Somnex</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://somnia.exchange/">Somnia</a></strong><a href="https://somnia.exchange/"> </a><strong><a href="https://somnia.exchange/">Exchange</a></strong>, and <strong><a href="https://dapp.quickswap.exchange/swap">Quickswap</a></strong>, along with <strong><a href="https://tokos.fi/">Tokos</a></strong> lending markets for SOMI and USDC.</p><p>The SLP program runs in seasons, with season one lasting 90 days. Scores are updated frequently to give users live feedback on performance. At the end of the season, all points are tallied, and the rewards are distributed based on participation.</p><p>Each participant&#8217;s score is determined through a time-weighted formula that factors in liquidity amount, duration, pool weighting, multipliers and other variables. The longer the liquidity remains in a pool, the higher the multiplier grows. Removing funds resets that multiplier, encouraging steady participation instead of quick inflows and exits.</p><p>This approach prevents common yield-farming exploits, such as short-term &#8220;sniping,&#8221; while ensuring the most dedicated participants earn proportionally more.</p><p>A total of <strong>1,000,000 SOMI</strong> is allocated to Season One participants. At the end of the 90-day period, rewards are calculated and distributed to eligible users. Tokens unlock gradually over 60 days with weekly releases, but there&#8217;s also an option to unlock immediately for a 50% penalty for liquidity providers who are in a hurry to collect their rewards.</p><h3><strong>Track Your Liquidity and Yields</strong></h3><p>A dedicated <strong><a href="https://liquidity.somnia.network/">SLP</a></strong><a href="https://liquidity.somnia.network/"> </a><strong><a href="https://liquidity.somnia.network/">dashboard</a></strong> gives users a live view of their progress. It displays current pool multipliers, estimated yields, and leaderboard standings. The dashboard also helps new participants find the best opportunities by showing which pools are active and how much capacity remains under each TVL cap. Data refreshes automatically so users can make informed decisions without leaving the platform.</p><h3><strong>Fairness and Anti-Abuse Measures</strong></h3><p><a href="https://somnia.network/">Somnia</a> is serious about making sure that genuine community members are being rewarded through its incentive programs, so a variety of measures are being implemented to ensure fairness. These measures include:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Time-Weighted Balances</strong> prevent short-term inflows from gaming rewards.</p></li><li><p><strong>Loyalty Multipliers</strong> increase over time but reset when liquidity is withdrawn, reinforcing commitment.</p></li><li><p><strong>Whale Caps</strong> reduce returns for oversized positions, protecting fairness for smaller holders.</p></li><li><p><strong>Pool and Wallet Caps</strong> ensure rewards are spread evenly across venues.</p></li></ul><p>With these measures in place, the rewards will be more evenly distributed, and more people will be able to get involved and see meaningful rewards.</p><h3>Unleash Your Liquidity</h3><p>It&#8217;s time to put your liquidity to work. The pools are live, rewards are rolling, and every SOMI you add helps make Somnia stronger.</p><p>Jump into the dashboard, choose your pool, and <strong><a

network, allowing anyone to earn yield on their assets or access liquidity without relying on banks or centralized intermediaries.</p><p>Tokos is designed to feel familiar to anyone who has used Aave or other major DeFi protocols, but it comes with the added advantage of Somnia&#8217;s performance. With over 1 million transactions per second, sub-second finality, and sub-cent fees, Tokos brings a level of scalability and efficiency that most lending platforms can&#8217;t match. This combination of proven mechanics and high-performance infrastructure creates a foundation for DeFi on Somnia that is both accessible and resilient.</p><h3>What is Tokos?</h3><p>Tokos is a non-custodial liquidity protocol that allows users to supply assets to earn yield and borrow assets against their collateral. Everything is managed through smart contracts deployed on Somnia, with no centralized parties controlling the funds. Users interact directly with pools of liquidity, which are constantly balanced by supply and borrow activity.</p><p>Assets supplied to the platform are deposited into liquidity pools and borrowers draw from those pools by locking up their own assets as collateral. Interest paid by borrowers is distributed to suppliers, creating a self-sustaining system where incentives align naturally.</p><h3>Supplying: Earn and Collateralize</h3><p>Supplying assets to Tokos allows users to earn interest while strengthening the overall liquidity available for other users. Each time you supply, Tokos mints you a corresponding amount of ArTokens. These tokens represent your share in the pool and automatically accrue yield over time.</p><p>Supplied tokens can also be marked as collateral. By enabling collateral, you unlock the ability to borrow against your deposits, effectively using your assets as working capital instead of letting them sit idle.</p><p>Withdrawing is straightforward. You redeem your ArTokens for the underlying asset, plus any interest earned. Withdrawals are subject to available liquidity, and if your tokens are being used as collateral for an active loan, you&#8217;ll need to repay or adjust your borrow position before withdrawing.</p><h3>Borrowing: Manage Exposure</h3><p>Borrowing on Tokos follows the principle of over-collateralization. This means you must always deposit more value as collateral than the amount you want to borrow. The protocol enforces this balance using a metric called the Health Factor.</p><p>The Health Factor is a real-time measure of how safe your position is. If it remains above 1, your position is healthy. If it falls below 1, your collateral becomes eligible for liquidation. Market prices, supplied collateral, and accrued interest all affect this number.</p><p>Loans don&#8217;t have fixed terms. As long as you maintain sufficient collateral, your borrow position can remain open indefinitely. This flexibility makes Tokos useful for many strategies. Traders can borrow assets to pursue market opportunities, while long-term holders can unlock liquidity without selling their positions.</p><h3>Step-by-Step: Using Tokos</h3><p><strong>Supplying Assets</strong></p><ol><li><p>Connect your wallet</p></li><li><p>Choose the asset you want to supply.</p></li></ol><blockquote></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

tools:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Efficiency Mode (E-Mode):</strong> Enables higher loan-to-value ratios for correlated assets like stablecoins. This makes it easier to run strategies that rely on swapping between assets of similar risk profiles.</p></li><li><p><strong>Isolation Mode:</strong> New or volatile assets can be safely added as collateral while limiting their borrowing power to stablecoins. This allows innovation without introducing systemic risk.</p></li><li><p><strong>Siloed Borrowing:</strong> High-volatility assets can be placed in isolated borrowing conditions, reducing exposure while still allowing them to participate in the market.</p></li></ul><p>These features allow Tokos to evolve and scale responsibly as more assets are added to the platform.</p><h3>The Somnia Advantage</h3><p>On many blockchains, lending platforms slow down or become expensive to use during times of high demand. This can cause delays in liquidations or prevent users from making adjustments to their positions when they need to most.</p><p>Tokos doesn&#8217;t have these limitations. Somnia&#8217;s throughput ensures that transactions remain fast and affordable, even during market volatility. This stability makes liquidations fairer, risk management more reliable, and everyday interactions more predictable.</p><p>Tokos is also positioned to integrate with Somnia&#8217;s broader ecosystem. Imagine supplying tokens and earning yield, then using those same assets as collateral to borrow stablecoins for in-game purchases. Or borrowing tokens to participate in gaming prediction markets without selling long-term holdings. These are just a few of the ways Tokos can plug into Somnia&#8217;s gaming, social, and DeFi applications.</p><p>By providing reliable, scalable liquidity markets, Tokos supports the growth of new applications in gaming, entertainment, and beyond.</p><h3>Getting Started</h3><p><a href="https://tokos.fi/">Tokos</a> is now live on Somnia Mainnet. Whether you want to earn interest on idle assets, borrow liquidity to increase exposure, or explore new financial strategies in the Somnia ecosystem, Tokos makes it possible.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
