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 Cardano

Cardano is a proof-of-stake blockchain platform: the first to be founded on peer-reviewed research and developed through evidence-based methods. It combines pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability to decentralized applications, systems, and societies.
