About Blockchains

About Somnia

Somnia 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 BNB Chain

The BNB Chain, formerly known as Binance Smart Chain (BSC), is a blockchain platform introduced by the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Its native token, BNB, serves various roles within the ecosystem. BNB acts as the network's transaction fuel, similar to gas on Ethereum, and grants users governance rights to participate in on-chain decision-making. In September 2020, Binance introduced the BNB Smart Chain alongside the BNB Beacon Chain, extending BNB's functionality. The BNB Smart Chain supports smart contracts and staking, offering an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible infrastructure. This dual-chain design aims to provide a high-performance, cost-effective environment for the blockchain community, ensuring compatibility with existing Ethereum tools and dApps while improving scalability and user experience.
