About Blockchains

About Arbitrum

Arbitrum serves as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, leveraging rollups to significantly boost scalability and reduce transaction costs while maintaining robust security. It enables developers to execute EVM-compatible smart contracts with a substantially higher transaction throughput and lower fees compared to Ethereum's main chain, making it a compelling platform for decentralized application development.

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.
