Somnia, the blockchain built for onchain gaming and virtual worlds, has officially launched its mainnet and $SOMI token. This event concludes 18 months of development and opens new opportunities for users.
First Steps on Somnia
The launch introduces the Somnia Browser, a hub connecting wallet setup, bridging, staking, and ecosystem discovery in one interface.
Users can add Somnia Mainnet to their MetaMask or Rabby wallets and start interacting directly with the chain.
Bridging is supported through Stargate Finance, allowing transfers from more than 55 blockchains. At launch, USDT, USDC, and wrapped ETH are available, with wrapped BTC support coming soon.
Tokens can move into staking or be used in applications already live on the network.
Staking is also active. Token holders delegate their assets to validators, each offering a share of their rewards to delegators. Somnia does not set a fixed APR; rewards will vary based on network activity.
The Airdrop Allocation
Somnia’s first airdrop has been completed, rewarding early users who supported the project during its testnet phase. Slightly over four percent of the total token supply was distributed to testnet participants who completed quests and provided feedback.
Additional allocations recognized ecosystem contributors, NFT creators, and holders of collections such as SomniYaps and Quills. Accounts flagged for gaming the system were excluded.
A Growing Ecosystem
Applications are already live on Somnia’s mainnet, with the Browser acting as a directory for early projects. Anyone can track transactions on the Explorer, experiment with the first wave of onchain games, and explore social tools tied to Authena identity.
With a blockchain that promised to handle one million transactions per second, the mainnet launch will test the scalability.
With the $SOMI token now active, attention shifts from testnet campaigns to whether developers and players will use the chain at scale.
