What is a Somnia RPC Node?

Access ultra-high performance chain

A Somnia RPC node provides applications with access to the highest-performance blockchain in production, delivering over 400,000 TPS — roughly 1000x faster than Ethereum. Somnia's reactive architecture enables applications impossible on traditional blockchains: massive multiplayer virtual worlds, real-time gaming economies, and metaverse platforms with millions of concurrent users.

Why 400K TPS matters

Traditional blockchains can't support real metaverses or AAA games. At 15 TPS (Ethereum) or even 65K TPS (Solana), complex virtual worlds break down. 400,000 TPS enables truly massive scale — millions of players, real-time item transfers, dynamic world states, and gaming interactions that feel instant.

Somnia advantages:

  • 400K+ TPS — unprecedented throughput
  • Sub-second finality — instant confirmation
  • Reactive contracts — event-driven architecture
  • Metaverse optimized — built for virtual worlds
  • EVM compatible — familiar development
  • Custom infrastructure — SomniaBFT + SomniaDB

Reactive smart contracts

Somnia introduces reactive smart contracts — contracts that automatically respond to on-chain events without external transactions. Traditional smart contracts are passive (requiring transactions to execute). Reactive contracts execute automatically when conditions trigger, enabling real-time game logic, automated market making, and dynamic virtual world behaviors.

How Somnia achieves performance:

  1. SomniaBFT consensus optimized for throughput
  2. SomniaDB custom storage layer
  3. Reactive contract execution engine
  4. Optimized state synchronization
  5. Purpose-built for real-time applications

Metaverse infrastructure

Somnia is building the foundational layer for the metaverse — persistent virtual worlds where millions interact simultaneously. With 400K TPS, Somnia can handle item trades, character actions, world state changes, and economic transactions at the scale required for true metaverse experiences.

This performance leap represents a paradigm shift in what's possible on blockchain infrastructure.

Technical Documentation

Quick start for developers

Supported RPC Methods

Somnia supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods:

  • eth_blockNumber — current block number
  • eth_getBalance — SMN balance
  • eth_call — execute view functions
  • eth_sendRawTransaction — broadcast transactions
  • eth_getTransactionReceipt — transaction confirmation
  • eth_getLogs — event logs
  • eth_gasPrice — current gas price
  • eth_estimateGas — gas estimation
  • eth_subscribe — WebSocket subscriptions

Code Examples

💻

JavaScript (ethers.js) — Somnia Connection:

const { ethers } = require('ethers');

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/somnia/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Verify we're on Somnia
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId); // 50311

// Get SMN balance
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...');
console.log('SMN Balance:', ethers.formatEther(balance));

// Deploy reactive metaverse contract
const METAVERSE = '0x...';
const metaverseABI = [
  'function updateWorldState(bytes32 region, bytes data) external',
  'function getActiveUsers(bytes32 region) view returns (uint256)'
];
const metaverse = new ethers.Contract(METAVERSE, metaverseABI, provider);

// Query metaverse with 400K TPS backend
const activeUsers = await metaverse.getActiveUsers(regionId);
console.log(`Active users in region: ${activeUsers}`);
💻

Python (web3.py) — Somnia Setup:

from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/somnia/YOUR_API_KEY'))

print('Connected to Somnia:', w3.is_connected())
print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id)  # 50311
print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number)

# Ultra-high throughput
gas_price = w3.eth.gas_price
print(f'Gas price: {gas_price}')

# Get SMN balance
balance = w3.eth.get_balance('0x...')
print(f'SMN: {balance / 1e18}')
💻

WebSocket — Monitor High-Frequency Activity:

const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/somnia/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Monitor ultra-fast blocks
provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => {
  const block = await provider.getBlock(blockNumber);
  console.log(`Somnia block ${blockNumber}: ${block.transactions.length} txs`);
  console.log('Handling 400K+ TPS!');
});

// Monitor metaverse events
const METAVERSE = '0x...';
const filter = {
  address: METAVERSE,
  topics: [ethers.id('WorldStateUpdate(bytes32,bytes)')]
};

provider.on(filter, (log) => {
  console.log('Real-time metaverse update:', log);
});
