Somnia’s mainnet is live, setting a new benchmark for blockchain scalability. At Imperator, we are proud to join as a validator and contribute our institutional-grade infrastructure to a network designed for fully on-chain applications.

As a validator already supporting 60+ blockchain protocols, we bring proven expertise in securing networks, optimizing performance, and maintaining reliability at scale. Joining Somnia’s validator set reflects our commitment to backing high-performance blockchains that are building the future of web3.

During Somnia’s record-breaking testnet, the network processed over 2 billion transactions, including an EVM record of over 80 million transactions in a single day. Being directly involved gave us a first-hand view of the technical innovation driving this throughput.

Throughout the testnet, we worked alongside 60 other validators to maintain stability, secure the network, and ensure consistent performance during high-volume periods. This diversity of validators not only strengthened decentralization but also proved Somnia’s ability to handle growth. With mainnet now live, we are excited to help secure the infrastructure that will bring web3 to the mainstream.

What is Somnia?

Somnia is the fastest, most cost-effective EVM Layer-1 blockchain, capable of processing over 1 million transactions per second with sub-second finality and sub-cent fees. This performance enables real-time, fully on-chain experiences that extend well beyond financial applications. From gaming and social platforms to AI-powered environments, Somnia provides the foundation builders need to scale.

Why We Support Somnia

At Imperator, we focus on validating networks combining technical ambition and strong ecosystems. Somnia not only meets performance requirements but also invests in adoption through developer grants, accelerators, and tools like Somnia Builder. This aligns with our mission of empowering protocols that bring real users into web3.

Somnia’s Tech

Somnia rebuilt blockchain architecture from the ground up to meet the scaling demands of fully on-chain applications. Key innovations include:


  • MultiStream Consensus: Validators publish data independently, finalized by a separate consensus layer, keeping throughput high during transaction surges.

  • Accelerated Sequential Execution: EVM bytecode is compiled into optimized native code for maximum single-core throughput.

  • IceDB – Custom Database: Somnia’s database delivers deterministic performance, cache reads in nanoseconds, and predictable execution under heavy load.

  • Advanced Compression Techniques: Continuous data streams and BLS signature aggregation minimize redundant data, reducing bandwidth needs for validators.
