Frequently asked questions
What is Somnia and what are its primary use cases?
Somnia is a public mainnet blockchain whose native currency, SOMI, is used to pay gas for all transactions and smart‑contract interactions. In a cross‑chain bridge context, its primary use cases are moving assets to and from Somnia, funding wallets with SOMI for fees, and settling low‑latency payments for apps such as DeFi, NFTs, and games running on Somnia. As of Sep 2025, Somnia has not published verifiable network benchmarks (avg gas cost, block time, TPS, active users); check its block explorer for up‑to‑date metrics before bridging.
What makes Somnia unique compared to other blockchain networks?
Somnia differentiates itself by offering production mainnet availability with a single native gas asset (SOMI) and first‑class interoperability through cross‑chain bridges, aiming for fast, low‑fee settlement. Because official performance figures (avg gas, block speed, TPS, activity) are not publicly posted, compare real‑time explorer data against baselines like Ethereum L1 (~12s blocks, ~10–15 TPS, variable $0.5–$5+ gas under light load). Validate Somnia’s advantages by monitoring current gas prices, block intervals, and throughput before executing large transfers.
What is the gas token used for Somnia, and how to get it?
Somnia uses SOMI as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain SOMI by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
How to bridge to Somnia network?
To bridge SOMI to Somnia, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Somnia as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
