Ah, darlings! Gather ’round as we unveil the latest marvel in the world of blockchain—Somnia, that sprightly high-speed, Ethereum-compatible darling, has just launched its Shannon Testnet! How positively thrilling! 🎉
Named after the illustrious Claude Shannon, the grandmaster of information theory, this testnet is strutting its stuff with benchmarks that would make even the most seasoned developers swoon—over 1 million transactions per second (TPS)! It’s practically a soirée for developers, offering a scalable platform for all those delightful real-world applications. 🥂
But wait, there’s more! The Shannon Testnet is rolling out the red carpet for multiple third-party validators and staking protocols, enhancing decentralization and security. During its DevNet escapades, it processed a staggering 3.6 million transactions across more than 300,000 unique addresses, all while maintaining sub-second finality and sub-cent transaction fees. Talk about a party! 🎊
The time is NOW! Somnia’s Testnet: Shannon is LIVE. 🚀
Built to handle MILLIONS of users: fast, stable, and ready for real-world apps at scale. We’re aiming to have at least 1 MILLION users test it out!

Somnia’s tech stack is nothing short of a technological marvel, featuring accelerated sequential execution and IceDB, a high-speed database with nanosecond-level read/write speeds. It’s practically a magician’s hat of innovation! 🎩✨
“With 1M+ TPS, sub-second finality, and MultiStream Consensus, developers can build without limits, and millions of users can experience blockchain at true internet scale,”
Thomas noted with a twinkle in his eye. These features are designed to support reactive apps, on-chain gaming, scalable DeFi, and metaverse platforms. Oh, the possibilities! 🎮
Context from the blockchain space
This launch is perfectly timed with a delightful trend of blockchain testnets preparing for their grand mainnet debuts in 2025. Ethereum’s Spectra Devnet5, which made its entrance in January 2025, is aiming for a March mainnet debut with sharding upgrades for scalability, as reported by the ever-reliable crypto.news. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid’s HyperEVM testnet, which has been live since late 2024, is focusing on DeFi innovation with rapid transaction processing, fueling the 2025 hype. How positively riveting! 🔥
