@Somnia_Network claims 1M TPS. Sure, we've heard this before from every new L1. But their #Shannon testnet already cleared 1B+ tx. DevNet peak 1.05M TPS. Users didn't have to sign transactions or pay fees during gameplay. Let's examine the ecosystem forming there 🧵 https://t.co/IpWownCiec

First, the tech: #Somnia uses MultiStream consensus + custom EVM compiler that converts contracts to native machine code.

Here's what's building on Somnia:
1. Chunked by @MSquared_io - flagship gaming demo where every action (mining, crafting, building) happens on-chain.
Season 1 racked up ~250M tx and topped 70k CCU. Players never saw wallets - account abstraction handled everything https://t.co/14vPxtqNls

💜Gaming - fully on-chain games
💜Infrastructure - analytics, bridges, dev tools
💜DeFi - high-frequency trading, order books
💜Social/NFT - fan engagement, collectibles

Each vertical leverages the chain's million-TPS capacity differently

They chose single-stream execution over parallel processing. Counterintuitive, but actually works well when transactions touch the same state

Their custom database #IceDB charges gas based on actual resource usage:

- RAM access = cheaper gas
- Cold disk reads = more expensive
- Built-in state snapshotting
- No bulky Merkle trees

Rewards efficient #dApp design through economic incentives

The @SomniaEco spans four main verticals:

Interesting approach with MultiStream consensus and custom EVM compiler. Excited to see how the ecosystem develops. 

Exciting tech stack! MultiStream consensus combined with a custom EVM compiler to native machine code could indeed push throughput limits. Looking forward to seeing how this scales in practice.
