Somnia Announces $10 Million Grant Program in Anticipation of Devnet Launch

30 Oct 2024

Somnia’s innovative design enables sub-cent transaction fees, sub-second finality, and EVM compatibility, making it the perfect blockchain for building mass-consumer applications like games, social networks, virtual worlds, and more. Now, you can start trying it out! 

Somnia’s upcoming Devnet will give the public access to the blockchain for the first time. That’s right, unlike many Devnets, ours will not be closed, it will be entirely open to the public! 

We will also be offering marketing and engineering support to developers, in addition to potential grants. 

$10M Ecosystem Grant Program

Somnia is launching its ecosystem grant program of $10 million that will help connect promising developers with leading Web3 investors including Mirana Ventures, Spartan Capital, and CMT Digital. The program aims to support builders creating large-scale, real-time applications across gaming, social platforms, metaverses, and more.

The $10 million grant program provides developers with the funding and support they need to launch groundbreaking on-chain applications. 

Developer Support

With Somnia’s full EVM compatibility, developers can easily build on the platform without needing to learn new programming languages or tools. Somnia’s familiar development environment ensures that developers can leverage existing EVM infrastructure, making it easier to migrate projects and build at scale. 

Developers will also have access to Somnia’s in-house engineers for support, including the core development team, dApp team, and the game development services team. We also offer GTM support, as well as introductions to investors and connections in key industries like gaming.

Community Support

Developers building on Somnia will have access to a massive community of engaged and enthusiastic supporters. Somnia has a community of over 430k followers across Twitter, Discord and Telegram, and had incredible on-chain activity during its betanet, including the minting of over 1 million avatars. This was all done in less than 6 months. Projects that launch on Somnia will have a captive audience with the Somnia community. 

Trusted by Leading Projects

Somnia has partnered with industry leaders like Yuga Labs, integrating more NFTs and enabling real-time, on-chain applications. Developers are invited to join this ecosystem, unlocking the potential of composability, remixing, and interoperability with Somnia’s scalable blockchain infrastructure.
