Web3 gaming is broken.
Gaming tokens have crashed while studios chase token launches over sustainable products.
@Somnia_Network is building infrastructure designed to change this by profiting from network activity, not dumping the token.
Traditional publishers help studios go to market but push aggressive monetization to offset rising budgets or growing production costs.
Web3 tried to use tokens instead to fund development and acquire users but kept the same extractive model.
Somnia recognizes that many studios fail because they lack the infrastructure needed to succeed onchain.
To fix this, they are building a blockchain that could operate profitably from onchain activity alone, enabling new deal structures that add to the player experience.
This consists of a three pillar ecosystem.
Tools: Somnia simplifies blockchain integration through Somnia Builder (low code onchain app builder) and Etherbase (blockchain communication without Solidity). Traditional developers can build onchain without dealing with the complexities of Web3.
Accelerator: The Dream Catalyst program closes the gaps most studios face when thinking about implementing blockchain: capital, time, and Web3 expertise. Teams get funding, hands-on mentorship, community seeding, and tokenomics design.
Applications: Beyond gaming, Somnia supports trading infrastructure, NFT platforms, and AI-driven protocols. Each application validates their thesis while creating composable onchain state.
Their infrastructure is designed to make this economically viable through high transaction throughput at sub-cent costs to bring more activity to the chain.
This could enable radically different deal structures. Studios get up to 90% gas fee reductions for high-volume applications, funding that scales with onchain activity rather than revenue splits, and more.
With their 270M ecosystem fund, Somnia offers capital tied to long-term network growth.
Games like Maelstrom's naval battles and Chunked's fully onchain voxel sandbox can prioritize gameplay over aggressive monetization because the underlying economics support sustainable development.
With Somnia, creating apps people want to use becomes the optimal business, not an afterthought.(Delphi Digital)
