Somnia Mainnet on GetBlock: RPC Infrastructure for the Agentic L1

GetBlock, a leading Web3 infrastructure service, is providing RPC access for Somnia Mainnet, giving developers a simple way to connect applications to the network without operating their own infrastructure.
Earlier in 2026, Somnia repositioned itself as the Agentic L1, moving on from the framing of a general-purpose high-performance blockchain toward the network built for autonomous software. GetBlock is bringing production-grade RPC infrastructure to that.
The integration supports JSON-RPC and WebSocket APIs, archive data endpoints, and multi-region infrastructure deployed in Europe, US East, and Asia.
Somnia Mainnet RPC live on GetBlock: Highlights
GetBlock's Somnia RPC service is built for the workloads emerging on the Agentic L1 in 2026: AI agents, AI-integrated prediction markets, autonomous DeFi apps, and high-throughput onchain applications that need sub-second finality – now supporting Somnia Mainnet.
Somnia is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 purpose-built for agentic workloads and applications that need real-time onchain responsiveness, hitting over 1M TPS in benchmarks alongside sub-second finality and sub-cent fees.
Somnia Agents, the chain's flagship feature, lets smart contracts natively query APIs, run deterministic AI models, and scrape websites with all outputs validated through validator consensus.
GetBlock now supports Somnia Mainnet, offering developers managed JSON-RPC and WebSocket endpoints with archive access on every tier.
Multi-region hosting across Frankfurt (EU), New York (US East), and Singapore (APAC) keeps endpoints close to where agents and applications run, minimizing latency and delivering consistently low response times
Somnia API is already in GetBlock’s dashboard – choose your access tier and have a working HTTP or WSS endpoint ready in minutes. Access plans scale up from $39/month Shared subscriptions to dedicated production-grade infrastructure with SOC 2 Type 1 attestation.
What is Somnia? The L1 for AI-native onchain applications
Somnia is a Layer 1 blockchain with an innovative vision: the next generation of onchain applications won't be written purely by humans, and the chain itself needs to be designed for what comes next.
The original Somnia mainnet launched in September 2025 around real-time consumer apps, gaming, social, metaverse, and prediction markets. The architecture proved out under load, but the workloads stressing the chain hardest turned out to be autonomous AI-driven systems. In April 2026, Somnia formalized that direction, launching Somnia Agents and rebranding as the Agentic L1.
The technical foundation underneath makes the agentic story credible:
MultiStream Consensus lets validators publish data chains in parallel, with finalization handled by a separate consensus chain, removing the bottleneck most EVM chains hit at scale.
IceDB, a custom log-structured state database, where reads and writes are measured in nanoseconds.
The compiled EVM squeezes substantially more throughput out of each core
With Somnia Agents, smart contracts on the network can query external APIs directly, run deterministic AI models, making AI inference part of the chain's verifiable state.
Somnia network is perfectly optimized for agentic real-time onchain apps: prediction markets, autonomous DeFi, agent-driven insurance, and coordination between agents. It also provides a solid infrastructure foundation for any type of reactive applications like gaming, creator markets, payments, and real-time event-driven markets.
For teams building on Somnia, GetBlock's managed RPC layer takes the operational side off the table: low-latency access to chain state and event streams, archive depth where it's needed, and zero overhead from running validators or syncing infrastructure.
Getting started with Somnia API on GetBlock
Connecting to Somnia mainnet from the GetBlock account takes a couple of minutes. New users can register for free and start with the Shared Nodes service.
In the main dashboard, open the new endpoint configuration menu
Select Somnia, Mainnet, and your API interface – JSON-RPC or WebSocket
Choose the hosting region closest to your traffic: Frankfurt (EU), New York (US East), or Singapore (APAC)
Use the generated endpoint URL to connect to the network nodes
To enable historical state queries, turn on the archive mode access before confirming the endpoint creation. Shared endpoints come with archive node access included.

Somnia mainnet uses Chain ID 5031 with SOMI as the native gas token. Documentation, supported methods, and integration guides are available in GetBlock's Somnia docs.
Dedicated Somnia RPC nodes for production-grade workloads
GetBlock also offers dedicated Somnia infrastructure. These are private nodes that run on isolated, high-performance servers with single-tenant resource allocation and configurable performance profiles.
To deploy a dedicated Somnia node:
Open the Dedicated Nodes dashboard and select Somnia Mainnet
Configure node parameters: hosting region, full or archive node type, performance profile, and any custom requirements
Review the plan, complete checkout, and wait for your node to provision
Setups beyond standard configurations, including private clusters, custom SLAs, additional interfaces, or specific compliance requirements for institutional and enterprise teams, are available through our engineering team. Contact us to scope a deployment that matches your workload.
Build on Somnia – GetBlock will handle the infrastructure
Somnia is built to host autonomous and real-time onchain apps; GetBlock helps make those apps practical to build and run by supplying the RPC layer they depend on.
If you're shipping something where Somnia's design actually matters, start with reliable infrastructure. Spin up a Somnia node on GetBlock right now, or, if your workload doesn't fit a standard plan, our engineering team scopes custom deployments directly – reach out.
