About Blockchains

About Somnia Testnet

Somnia Testnet (Shannon) is the fastest and most efficient EVM Layer 1 blockchain ever, capable of processing over 1M+ transactions per second with sub-second finality. It is suitable for serving millions of users and building real-time mass-consumer applications like gaming, social applications, metaverses, NFTs, and more, all fully on-chain.

About Base

Base, an Ethereum-based blockchain developed by Coinbase, operates as a Layer 2 (L2) network, leveraging Optimism to provide a secure, cost-effective, and user-friendly environment for decentralized application (dApp) development. With a mission to onboard the next billion users to web3, Base ensures near-zero fees, quick transactions, and robust security supported by Ethereum's infrastructure. At its launch, Base had over 100 dApps and service providers, aiming to solve the blockchain trilemma by prioritizing interoperability and composability among participating rollups. This approach enhances scalability while preserving security and decentralization.
