Somnia is now the Agentic L1
Somnia is now the Agentic L1, and Somnia Agents are running onchain, as part of consensus, right now. The next phase of the internet will be shaped by agents operating onchain. As AI continues to advance, we’re moving towards systems that don’t just execute logic, but can interpret, decide, and act in real time.

Inside the article:
Why agents are a new kind of user that existing chains weren’t designed for
How Somnia puts AI onchain as part of validator consensus, extending decentralisation and verifiability to AI itself
What becomes possible when AI decisions in insurance, hedging, and prediction markets inherit the same guarantees as any onchain operation
Why the infrastructure decisions being made today will shape the agentic economy for years
What’s live on mainnet right now, and how to start building
