Named after Claude Shannon, the father of the information theory, this testnet provides a real environment.
This new Somnia testnet allows developers and users to push the scalability of blockchain to new heights.
Shannon Testnet: push speed, stability and decentralization
After the Somnia Devnet performance – 1 million + transactions per second (TPS), the purpose of the subseconds and the ultra -basic costs – the Sannon test aims to go even further. During Devnet tests, the Somnia managed more than 3.6 million transactions on more than 300,000 unique addresses, proving its ability to support real demand.
The Testnet strengthened testing resistance of tests while providing developers with the tools to be built on an unprecedented scale. Here are the main characteristics of Shannon Testnet
- Greater decentralization – Several third -party validators are now live, with ignition protocols improving safety.
- Increased stability – More state wipes, allowing developers to build with confidence without replaying the state.
- Infrastructure ready for developers – Everything you need to build and test blockchain applications is entirely in place.
- Growing ecosystem – More projects will be integrated to stimulate real adoption and activity.
Time is now! Somnia testnet: Shannon is live.
Designed to manage millions of users: fast, stable and ready for real large -scale applications. We aim to test it at least 1 million users!

All essential integrated development toolsAdvanced technology fueling the Somnia
Shannon Testnet is built on revolutionary innovations designed for maximum speed, efficiency and decentralization:
- Multi-crazy consensus – Allows the execution of parallel transactions without slowdown in the network, keeping things in lightning quickly.
- Accelerated sequential execution – Optimizes EVM bytecodes for unique peaks.
- ICEDB (Deterministic database) – Affects Nanosecond level reading / writing speeds for ultra-fast transactions.
- Advanced compression techniques – Reduces the bandwidth needs, allowing millions of TP.
These innovations make Shannon Testnet the most advanced blockchain test environment available, paving the way for mass adoption.
The proof is in latency!
Regarding Dex’s performance, each millisecond counts, and the Somnia proves that it is the fastest of the game. Execution of UNISWAP V3 Swaps, we realized:

Average latency: 747 msUnlock use cases that change the situation
With its unrivaled speed and affordability, the Somnia opens the door to completely new blockchain applications:
- Reactive applications – Intelligent contracts that instantly react to chain events, ideal for real -time games and automated financial services.
- Games entirely in chain – Games with instant transactions and decentralized savings, eliminating the need for centralized servers.
- Scalable deffi protocols – high frequency trading, instant exchanges and financial infrastructure without congestion.
- Social platforms and metavages – Digital worlds and social networks that evolve transparently for millions of users.

The Somnia ecosystem will benefit from 270 million dollars in cumulative funding, which stimulates innovation in entirely in chain applications! “Shannon Testnet is the test field of a entirely in chain future,” said Somnia founder Paul Thomas. “With 1m + TPS, a purpose of the subsecond and a multi-establishment consensus, developers can build without limits and users can discover blockchain on a real internet scale.”
