See How Somnia Hit Over A Half Billion Transactions On Testnet This Month!
After more than a year of focused building, Somnia is starting to break through. The results are finally showing, and momentum across the ecosystem is accelerating.
April marked a major shift. From new infrastructure partnerships to ecosystem growth and developer traction, Somnia’s vision for real-time, fully on-chain experiences is becoming reality.
There was a ton of news this month and it may not have been easy to keep up, so we’ve compiled some of the highlights here for you to check out.
517 Million Transactions on Testnet
Somnia’s Testnet has lived up to the hype with incredible speeds and capabilities. Fully on-chain applications create a ton of transactions, and we have seen the result of this in a very short time on the Testnet. In just two months there have been over a half billion transactions, with some record-breaking days processing over 40 million transactions.
Somnia Hosts Massive Rooftop Event in Dubai
Members of the Somnia team had an amazing week in Dubai for Token2049, packed with events, including our famous Uniting Societies, which was hosted on a rooftop with an incredible view.
The First Games are Coming!
The Somniacs have been eagerly awaiting the games, and this month we kicked things off with a new title revealed each week. Here are some of the major announcements:
Dark Table CCG
Dark Table CCG, the world’s first Cross-Collectible (C2) Card Game, has been accepted into the Dream Catalyst accelerator, an initiative by Somnia and Uprising Labs designed to support innovative, on-chain games shaping the future of Web3.
Set in a haunting Lovecraftian universe, Dark Table CCG reimagines the digital card game experience by combining strategic 4-player free-for-all combat. Players can form temporary alliances, bluff opponents, and customize nearly every aspect of their presence in-game, from avatars and titles to animated 3D playmats and alternate art for cards.
Unlike traditional digital CCGs reliant on loot boxes and grinding, Dark Table CCG offers a streamlined deck-building system that prioritizes theorycrafting and creativity. Players can build complete decks instantly using Deck Tokens, removing the barriers of chance and enabling a focus on skill, strategy, and customization.
Mullet Cop: Mall Sim
Mullet Cop: Mall Sim is another title coming to the Somnia Ecosystem through Dream Catalyst.
Mullet Cop is a cult comic about a mall cop who goes undercover as a buffet manager in a dystopian megamall after a near-death experience, and now it’s coming to life as a new video game called Mullet Cop: Mall Sim. The game is a top-down isometric mall simulator that allows the player to choose the style of gameplay that they prefer.
Part “design-your-own-mall-floorplan” and part “destroy your mall with gangs and riots”, Mullet Cop allows the player to set up their experience and watch events unfold, participating as a passive observer, or joining into the fray and ridding the mall of scum and villainy.
Netherak Demons
Another Dream Catalyst title, Netherak Demons is a brutal, dark-fantasy action RPG built around the core mechanics of exploration, demon customization and resource conquest. Through brutal battles, resource harvesting, and blacksmithing, players gather the tools needed to rebuild what was lost and restore the forsaken city of Imuran.
Blending tactical combat, deep customization, and a grim, competitive world, Netherak Demons brings a haunting new experience to the players who dare enter.
In Netherak Demons, you can customize your character with powerful armor sets and rare weapons, each with their own skill trees and abilities. Strip enemies of their gear, dismantle their weapons, and forge your arsenal to dominate the battlefield.
Masks of the Void
Our next Dream Catalyst title, Masks of the Void is a roguelite action-RPG by RolldBox Games, where players take on the role of Iret, a girl with a mysterious power, tasked with holding back the creeping threat of the Neverending Night.
Masks of the Void gives players control over the world itself. Through telekinetic abilities, you can use anything in the environment to your advantage, from discarded objects to walls and debris. As you explore surreal realms and fight back against evil forces, you accumulate powers and artifacts in true roguelite fashion. But progression comes at a cost. The more power you take on, the more the world reacts. Environments become unstable, enemies evolve, and even the fabric of reality begins to shift around you.
QRusader
Our most recent Dream Catalyst title to be announced was QRusader, an innovative new mobile Roguelite Hopper that will be joining the ecosystem through the Dream Catalyst accelerator. This bold new addition to the Somnia lineup was developed with a focus on accessibility, endless replayability, and player-driven worlds.
In QRusader, players step into the boots of a lost knight who travels through an infinite loop of dungeons searching for loot and prizes. QRusader is incredibly unique because every level is procedurally generated by scanning real-world QR codes. Each code creates unique dungeon layouts, enemy types, visual themes, and difficulty settings. The more complex the QR code, the more challenging the adventure becomes. No two runs are ever the same in QRusader, so you never know what to expect!
