The Blockchain for the Metaverse
Computing everything in the Metaverse needs a blockchain that goes beyond finance. To enable millions of people to transact and move the logic of all metaverse items on-chain we need a faster, cost optimized chain for the metaverse.
Predictable Low Fees
Gas fees are confusing and can cause sudden price spikes. The Somnia blockchain has understandable low costs, and can be free
Highly Scalable
Metaverse experiences have tens of thousands of users all buying and selling objects. We need a chain that can support hundreds of thousands of transactions per second.
EVM Based
The EVM ecosystem has a wide range of tools for creators to easily build economic primitives. The Somnia chain is fully EVM compatible to build on the current web3 ecosystem

Remix Content
Today, logic for the metaverse and games are locked into centralized services. These constraints keep content locked, and prevent creators from building on each other's work. Even web3 games are just walled gardens with financial rails. With the Somnia protocol, users can truly own their content, and creators are able to build on each other's content, creating new experiences faster than before.
