Google Cloud’s role as a validator strengthens Somnia’s network by leveraging its enterprise-grade infrastructure. The Somnia Shannon DevNet has already demonstrated a remarkable capacity of 1 million transactions per second (TPS) and processed over 10 billion transactions on its testnet. This partnership enhances security, transaction validation, and overall network performance, enabling Somnia to support a growing roster of games and decentralized applications (dApps).
With Somnia’s testnet running on Google Cloud’s infrastructure, developers can seamlessly build, test, and deploy dApps with unmatched reliability. The integration provides access to advanced AI capabilities, including AI Agentic insights for business and new functionalities for games and dApps. “Somnia provides a high-performance infrastructure stack that is ideal for real-time applications and institutional adoption,” said Paul Thomas, founder of Somnia. “We are thrilled to welcome Google Cloud as a validator, and hope our collaborations with leading technology companies will help our network go further and do more for our community and our partners.”
Somnia is exploring integration with Google Cloud’s BigQuery data warehouse to create a powerful analytics platform. This will enable real-time access to blockchain data, empowering developers to build sophisticated applications, machine learning models, and institutional-grade solutions. By leveraging Somnia’s high-performance capabilities, this integration supports the development of sustainable blockchain projects in gaming, metaverse, and beyond.
Google Cloud joins other institutional validators to secure Somnia’s network, aligning with its mission to enable real-time blockchain applications at scale. This collaboration positions Somnia to capitalize on Google Cloud’s global expertise, ensuring its EVM Layer-1 blockchain remains a leader in delivering high-throughput, cost-effective solutions for millions of users.
Somnia’s partnership with Google Cloud marks a significant step in advancing blockchain technology, offering developers cutting-edge tools to create next-generation dApps with unparalleled performance and reliability.
Somnia is the fastest and most cost-effective EVM Layer-1 blockchain, capable of processing over 1 million transactions per second (tps) with sub-second finality and sub-cent fees. Somnia’s new multi-stream consensus technology achieves sub-second block certainty and higher transaction throughput. Sequential execution and compression algorithms effectively handle high-density scenarios, increasing the amount of data transferred between nodes by 10-20x. The custom database IceDB achieves 15-100 nanosecond read/write times, reducing transaction costs to less than a penny. This makes Somnia an ideal platform for building large-scale, real-time applications in games, social, metaverse, finance, and other fields, serving millions of users, all on-chain, making EVM more efficient than ever before.
