Somnia performance notes
Somnia is the Agentic L1, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain optimized for AI agents and real-time onchain applications. Mainnet launched on September 2, 2025 with the native gas token SOMI. Its architecture combines MultiStream Consensus, the IceDB state engine, and a compiled EVM to deliver 1M+ TPS in benchmarks alongside sub-second finality and sub-cent fees.
Somnia Agents extends this foundation with native API queries and onchain AI inference validated through consensus, enabling smart contracts that can read external data, run AI models, and act on results. The network is purpose-built for AI-resolved prediction markets, autonomous DeFi strategies, agentic insurance, real-time onchain coordination, and high-frequency dApps that need predictable latency and verifiable AI execution.
