About Blockchains

About Somnia

Somnia is the Agentic L1 - a hyper-performant layer-1 blockchain designed from the ground up for real-time, autonomous, AI-native applications. While other networks measure throughput in thousands, Somnia operates at over one million transactions per second with sub-second finality and sub-cent transaction costs.

Somnia infrastructure is built for apps that demand real-time responsiveness at any scale.

Most chains treat AI as an integration layer. Somnia treats it as a design principle.

About Polygon

Polygon, formerly Matic Network, is a blockchain platform designed to establish a multi-chain system compatible with Ethereum. It employs a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism similar to Ethereum for on-chain transactions, with its native token being POL. Functioning as a "layer two" or "sidechain" scaling solution alongside Ethereum, Polygon facilitates quicker transactions and lower fees. Its inception aimed to tackle Ethereum's major challenges, including high fees, subpar user experience, and limited transaction throughput, aspiring to create an "Ethereum's internet of blockchains" or a multi-chain ecosystem of Ethereum-compatible blockchains.
