Somnia is a super fast EVM Layer1 blockchain designed specifically for high concurrency scenarios such as gaming, social networking, finance, and metaverse The project was initiated by virtual world giant Improbable, with a financing of $150 million. The investment team includes frontline institutions such as a16z crypto, SoftBank, SIG, Mirana, etc. The goal is clear: to truly enable large-scale user interaction on the chain Somnia uses its own consensus mechanism and database, which directly maximizes on chain performance: Million level TPS, transaction confirmation in sub seconds The contract is compatible with EVM, but the underlying code is compiled into CPU native code, which runs much faster than traditional chains With compression and caching technology, Web2 level data can be easily uploaded to the blockchain, and high-frequency applications such as blockchain games, social networking, and metaverse can be stably caught The project team has allocated a $10 million ecological fund specifically to support developers in their projects, as well as a $270 million joint investment from Improbable, a16z, and SoftBank At present, the Somnia ecosystem has laid out many high-quality projects: Games and Virtual World: Rising, MSquared, Chunked DeFi：QuickSwap、Euclid Protocol Cross chain&Data: Hyperlane, Dune, Sequence AI and NFT: Grilz, ForU AO, etc Somnia is opening the door to the real world for Web3 on chain applications
