Exploring Somnia’s Journey Towards a Unified Web3 Metaverse

Somnia’s architecture is designed to optimize execution speed, bandwidth usage, and storage. By converting EVM bytecode into highly optimized native code, Somnia aims to achieve faster execution speeds. The inclusion of a compression and custom data ingestion layer helps reduce bandwidth requirements, surpassing traditional limits. Additionally, the use of cache-friendly Merkle trees helps decrease storage overhead. Along with enhancements to the infrastructure, Somnia is developing a series of omnichain protocols to facilitate seamless commerce and enhance the composability of metaverse experiences. These advancements are made possible by two key protocols: SOM0 (for asset interoperability and commercialization) and SOM1 (for composable virtual assets and experiences).
