Somnia, a Layer-1 blockchain designed for high-demand consumer applications, demonstrated its capabilities during Devnet testing. The tests showed Somnia’s ability to handle up to 1.05 million ERC-20 token transfers per second.

Devnet Testing: Superior Results

One of the highlights of the Devnet testing was processing 300,000 NFT mints per second with blocks formed every 100 milliseconds. To simulate real-world conditions, the Devnet used 100,000 accounts to execute random transactions, achieving 50,000 Uniswap trades per second.

Our technology is designed to support the demanding requirements of high-performance dApps while maintaining exceptional performance and cost-efficiency, and these impressive results validate our approach. We’re opening the door to a new era of fully on-chain applications, where speed and scalability are no longer barriers for developers.Paul Thomas, Founder and CEO of Somnia

Technology and Infrastructure

Somnia utilized powerful infrastructure distributed across many data centers, with machines featuring up to 32 vCPUs and 120GB of RAM, showcasing AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon processors of the fourth and fifth generation. Key performance metrics include: 1.05 million TPS for ERC-20 transfers, 300,000 NFT mints per second, 50,000 Uniswap trades per second, 100ms block time, and 100 test nodes in diverse locations.

The Future of Somnia and Web3

With the public testnet launch on the horizon, Somnia is set to showcase its blockchain capabilities to developers and the community. This marks a significant advancement in web3 technology and opens new opportunities for innovative application development. Somnia’s ecosystem is committed to maintaining steady performance gains, aiming for even faster transaction rates and lower latency in future iterations.
