In the blockchain industry, most public chains are still pursuing higher Transactions Per Second (TPS), while Somnia (SOMI) has quietly shifted to a new development path. Centered around the SOM0 cross-world asset protocol, and combining strategies of Web2 and Web3, Somnia is carving out a unique path in the fields of gaming and the Metaverse.

As an EVM-compatible L1 public chain, Somnia is backed by $270 million in financing and the Web2 technology accumulation of Improbable, transitioning from a 'performance competitor' to an 'ecosystem builder.' As the industry's pursuit of 'high-speed public chains' gradually cools, Somnia's strategy of 'setting standards through protocols and expanding users through integration' may become the key to breaking through industry bottlenecks.

The large-scale popularization of Web3 faces two main obstacles: the 'siloed scenarios' of virtual assets and the 'entry barriers' for users. The former prevents players from using items across games and makes it difficult for creators to monetize NFTs on different platforms; the latter hinders ordinary users' participation due to the complexity of private key management and Gas fee calculations. Traditional public chains either focus solely on solving performance issues or on ecological expansion, failing to provide a comprehensive solution, which has kept the application scope of Web3 limited to niche groups.

The SOM0 protocol launched by Somnia is designed to break down the 'scene barriers' of asset circulation. As Somnia's core innovation, the protocol establishes a unified standard for virtual assets through a three-layer architecture of objects, proofs, and markets. The object layer enables the standardized creation of assets such as game items and virtual avatars, ensuring interoperability between different applications; the proof layer verifies asset ownership through smart contracts, guaranteeing the authenticity and security of cross-scene transactions.

This innovative approach is not only expected to address key barriers to the widespread adoption of Web3 but may also bring new development opportunities for the entire industry. By establishing unified asset standards and cross-platform interoperability, Somnia is paving the way for the large-scale application of Web3, while also providing new possibilities for development in the gaming and Metaverse sectors.
