Somnia DevCircle Launches in Lagos
A High-Signal Builder Room and the Start of Something Bigger.
If you’re a developer in Lagos and you want to ship a real onchain product in 2026, not just attend meetups and “network”, this is for you. Join the Somnia DevCircle Lagos Telegram community here.
We recently hosted the first Somnia DevCircle Lagos Builders Meetup at The Zone, Gbagada, and it delivered exactly the kind of signal we care about. The developers who attended rated the experience 10/10, which tells us the content, speakers, and overall value were strong.
More importantly, the room wasn’t filled with spectators; it had real builders and real products. We had four active projects represented, including a hackathon winner, teams that have been building consistently even without winning, and a team exploring a port to Somnia. That’s the kind of foundation you want if the goal is to build from Lagos for a global market.
Many thanks to the facilitators: Adebayo Abimbola, Joshua Omobola, Bolaji Ahmad, 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.
The Start of Something Bigger
That’s why Somnia DevCircle Lagos exists. It’s not a one-off event series. It’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 active conversations. That group is the nucleus, and we’re expanding it intentionally with more serious Lagos developers who want to build.
If you write TypeScript/JavaScript, Solidity, backend/fullstack systems, or you’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’re a technical founder looking for collaborators in Lagos, you also belong here. The DevCircle is where you meet people who are not just “interested in Web3,” but are actually ready to commit to building.
Somnia’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.

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.
