Somnia, a blockchain network recognized for its high-speed data processing and efficiency, is advancing its testnet ecosystem by integrating a broad range of infrastructure partners. Following the successful launch of its Shannon Testnet, which demonstrated over a million transactions per second (TPS), sub-second finality, and minimal transaction fees, the network is now collaborating with leading service providers to support developers and projects gearing up for mainnet deployment.
The expanding partnership network includes providers of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services, indexing and data solutions, oracles, cross-chain bridges, developer tools, multisig wallets, and validators. These integrations ensure that the Somnia Testnet is fully equipped to facilitate the development and scaling of on-chain applications.
Strengthening Real-Time and Scalable Blockchain Solutions
Designed to support high-density, real-time applications, Somnia is leveraging its ecosystem partnerships to provide developers with seamless access to blockchain data, decentralized oracles, scalable RPC services, and sophisticated Web3 development tools. These enhancements allow for the efficient building and operation of decentralized applications (dApps) without performance constraints.
Among the key infrastructure partners contributing to this initiative are:
Ormi: A blockchain data platform offering subgraph hosting, SQL data engines, data APIs, and analytics to facilitate access to both live and historical blockchain data.
Protofire: A provider of Chainlink-compatible Verifiable Random Function (VRF) and price feeds, enhancing trustless randomness for gaming, lotteries, and DeFi applications.
Safe (Palmera-powered): A solution for managing multiple safes within a single dashboard, aiding on-chain organizations in smart treasury management.
Thirdweb: A comprehensive Web3 development platform offering front-end, back-end, and on-chain tools, including cross-platform Software Development Kits (SDKs) and modular smart contracts.
DIA: A decentralized oracle network supplying price feeds, verifiable randomness, and asset data for various blockchain applications.
Hyperlane: An interoperability framework supporting seamless bridging and asset transfers across over 100 blockchain networks.
Dune: A blockchain analytics platform delivering real-time insights and API services for developers and ecosystem participants.
Ankr: A globally distributed RPC provider that supports developer infrastructure with a significant number of free RPC calls daily.
Sequence: A Web3 gaming infrastructure provider, offering smart wallets, Unity SDKs, and blockchain onboarding tools for game developers.
Hemera’s Social Scan: A specialized block explorer providing enhanced indexing and analytics for Somnia’s blockchain.
Enhancing Network Security and Validator Expansion
To reinforce security and decentralization, Somnia is partnering with experienced validator providers. While the Shannon Testnet initially launched with a limited number of validators, the network is scaling its validator set to ensure a distributed and resilient structure ahead of its mainnet deployment.
Key validator partnerships include:
Validation Cloud: A high-performance staking and node infrastructure provider ensuring network security and stability.
B-Harvest: A well-established validator known for its contributions to Cosmos and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystems, bringing expertise in DeFi protocol development and blockchain research.
Through these measures, Somnia aims to create a validator framework capable of supporting mass adoption and high-volume on-chain transactions as it progresses toward mainnet.
Paving the Way for Scalable On-Chain Development
By integrating top-tier infrastructure solutions, Somnia is eliminating development challenges such as network congestion, high costs, and limited tooling. These collaborations streamline dApp creation, enhance security, and provide essential services to support the network’s rapid growth.
Somnia’s leadership emphasizes that the Shannon Testnet serves as more than just a technical demonstration. It is positioned as a functional environment where developers can create and refine applications that operate at an internet-scale level. With ongoing support from infrastructure partners, the network is preparing to transition into a fully-fledged, production-ready ecosystem.
As Somnia moves closer to its mainnet launch, infrastructure partners will continue expanding their contributions to the ecosystem. Developers are already able to deploy applications, test integrations, and utilize Somnia’s blockchain infrastructure to build scalable, high-performance decentralized solutions.
