Somnia Is Bringing The Gaming World On-Chain
The gaming industry is evolving, and the technology that supports games needs to keep up. To really push games to the next level, developers need to be able to create immersive, scalable, and fully on-chain experiences. Somnia is setting the stage for these experiences by providing a blockchain built specifically to meet the demands of real-time games with reactive features.
Reactive applications enable seamless event-driven interactions directly on the blockchain, eliminating the need for third-party services. With conventional blockchains, creating reactive flows like rewarding players for completing a quest or triggering game events requires off-chain components, which increases complexity, costs, and compromises decentralization.
By integrating native support for events, timers, and verifiable randomness directly into the blockchain, developers can build reactive applications entirely on-chain. This simplifies development, enhances security, reduces costs, and preserves decentralization. These improvements unlock opportunities for dynamic, real-time applications such as games, predictive markets, and event-driven advertising.
Blockchain gaming has long been held back by limitations like slow transaction speeds, high fees, and network congestion, but Somnia is changing the game with:
- Scalability
Handle millions of players with 400k transactions per second and sub-second finality. - Cost-Effective Gaming
No more gas wars and high fees, Somnia makes gaming affordable for developers and players. - Reactive Gaming Features
Build games that respond to live events and on-chain data, unlocking new possibilities for interactivity and engagement. - Developer support
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.
And with Somnia’s $10M Grant Program, developers gain access to additional resources to turn their dreams into reality.
Somnia is building a fully on-chain world where Web3 games can operate with reactive features, decentralized economies, and community ownership. Developers can now build games that scale without limits, while players enjoy experiences that feel as intuitive and engaging as traditional gaming platforms.
