New Somnia Builder Makes It Easier For Developers To Build in Web3

Building in web3 has a steep learning curve, but new tools are lowering the barrier to entry and making it easier than ever to create web3 applications. For example, Somnia and Sequence have recently launched Somnia Builder, a low-code development platform designed to simplify the process of creating onchain games and applications. The new tool integrates Sequence’s modular infrastructure with the high-performance Somnia blockchain, offering developers a streamlined path from idea to deployment.

Somnia Builder allows teams to package assets, configure game logic, and deploy projects without requiring custom smart contracts or backend management. The platform is built for real-time, user-owned environments where every interaction takes place onchain.

Somnia is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 built to handle real-time, mass-consumer applications at scale. With over one million transactions per second and sub-second finality, it’s tailor-made for web3 games, metaverses, and social platforms where every interaction, from logic to ownership, lives fully onchain.

Its testnet, Shannon, has already surpassed 1 billion transactions, proving Somnia isn’t just fast. It’s battle-tested and ready for production.

Now, Somnia Builder is bringing that power directly into the hands of developers and game creators. The platform’s low-code interface empowers developers and game creators to transform their ideas and digital assets into tokenized, interoperable components, without needing to write smart contracts or manage backend infrastructure.

What sets Somnia’s Builder apart is its integration with Sequence, the leading open source web3 stack trusted by leading chains, games, and app developers. Sequence handles all of the blockchain complexity: wallets, smart contracts, relayers, analytics, marketplaces, and more. All delivered through clean SDKs for UnityUnrealTypeScript, and React Native (mobile).

“Making web3 easier is a key part of the Somnia vision, and that includes developers. Sequence shares our focus on accessibility, and their new Somnia Builder will go a long way toward helping more builders get started.” Paul Thomas, Founder of Somnia.

Together, Somnia and Sequence offer a complete, production-ready foundation for building user-owned, real-time, fully onchain experiences.

Effortless onboarding for mass adoption

  • Log in with Google, Apple, Facebook, or Epic — no browser extensions required

  • Play without gas fees, using gasless relayers

  • Non-custodial by default: players own their assets from the start

Dynamic, composable economies for sustained monetization

  • Mint assets at near-zero cost

  • Trade items, skins, and land in-game using built-in marketplaces

  • Set custom royalties for primary and secondary sales

  • Operate across multiple web3 games and environments

Developer-first tools built for retention

  • SDKs for Unity, Unreal Engine, and mobile

  • Easy contract deployment with Sequence Blueprints

  • Real-time analytics for user engagement and game performance

  • Modular APIs for seamless integration of web3 features

“Somnia Builder represents a major leap forward for onchain development. By combining Somnia’s ultra-performant L1 architecture with Sequence’s modular web3 stack, including embedded wallets, gasless relayers, and smart contract Blueprints, developers can now build production-ready, composable experiences without deep blockchain expertise. This is the kind of infrastructure shift that enables real-time, user-owned games and metaverse environments to scale seamlessly.” — Sam Barberie, Head of Strategy and Partnerships at Sequence

Together, Somnia and Sequence provide developers with everything they need to build, launch, and grow onchain games, from seamless player onboarding to fully composable in-game economies. And the proof isn’t hypothetical, it’s already live in the hands of real teams.

Sequence and Somnia’s proven success in web3

Sequence and Somnia have been long-time partners in shaping the future of onchain game development, and the results are already showing. Together, they’re powering some of the most exciting fully onchain titles in development today, including:

Many of these titles have entered the Somnia ecosystem through Dream Catalyst, a $10 million game accelerator with Uprising Labs offering funding, infrastructure, mentorship and go-to-market support.

These web3 games represent a growing ecosystem of teams building on Somnia’s high-performance Layer 1, using Sequence’s modular infrastructure to enable real-time interactions, full asset ownership, and deeply composable gameplay logic.

And it’s not just builders backing the stack. Google Cloud is a mutual partner of both Sequence and Somnia, bringing enterprise-grade infrastructure, security, and scalability into the fold as web3 gaming moves into mainstream territory.
