"Chunked" Becomes A Wasteland After Whole World Is Mined!

Version 2.0 coming soon.

Somnia has now surpassed over 818 million transactions, and over 250 million of them happened in Chunked, our fully on-chain voxel mining collaboration with MSquared.

Chunked is a fascinating experiment that really taught our teams a lot about how people interact with the blockchain, and perhaps something deeper about the world we live in. Once certain incentives were introduced to the world of Chunked, the Somniacs got busy with mining and within just a few days the entire world was turned into a dystopian wasteland, with every nearly block of dirt mined.

This mass-mining occurred after we introduced a quest, challenging Somniacs to mine for resources so they could climb the leaderboard.

As a result of this digital ecological disaster, Chunked has been taken offline temporarily to make some fixes, but we consider this project to be a massive success because it stress-tested the blockchain and showed that an on-chain experience like this was possible.

Soon we’ll be rolling out a Chunked 2.0 and reboot a new and improved version of this world where resource depletion won’t be a problem.

We also have a big summer of games in store for all the Somniacs, with dozens of major launches coming soon! Stay tuned for more details!
