Somnia (SOMI)
Somnia is a next-generation EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain designed for high-speed and low-cost performance. The network can process over 1 million transactions per second, with sub-second finality and transaction fees below one cent.
This performance enables real-time, fully on-chain applications that extend beyond finance. Developers can use Somnia as a foundation for large-scale projects such as gaming ecosystems, social platforms, and AI-driven applications.
Demonstrating its speed, the Somnia Testnet has surged to the top of Chainspect’s blockchain performance rankings, recording a real-time throughput of 13,151 transactions per second (TPS). This far exceeds competitors like ICP (1,148 TPS) and Solana (978 TPS).
Launched in February 2025 and with more than 7.9 billion transactions already processed, Somnia is quickly becoming a benchmark for scalable, real-time blockchain applications.
Notably, KuCoin’s listing of SOMI reflects ongoing exchange support for emerging projects. With trading and deposits now enabled, Somnia’s performance and use cases are being introduced to a broader user base.
