# Somnia Network > Build Everything On Chain Somnia Network enables onchain applications through its own EVM-compatible blockchain. It aims to service mass consumer and real-time applications with a focus on gaming applications. Somnia Network helps developers build mass consumer applications by providing an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain. With it, you can deploy games, social platforms, and metaverse experiences requiring millions of concurrent users. Somnia eliminates blockchain scalability barriers through custom consensus mechanisms and database optimization. - Type: Network - Sector: Blockchain Platforms - Status: Active - Founded: 2024-02-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/somnia ## Products - [Somnia Blockchain](https://thegrid.id/profiles/somnia): Somnia Blockchain is an EVM-compatible layer 1 network using MultiStream consensus, IceDB database technology, and accelerated sequential execution designed for high throughput and low latency transaction processing. (L1, Open Beta, Main Product) ## Assets - [STT](https://thegrid.id/profiles/somnia): STT is the native token of the Somnia Network, a public testing network built for pre-mainnet development. It is used for paying transaction fees and network operations via native protocol functions. Unlike ERC20 tokens, STT is built into the protocol itself and does not have a contract address, functioning similarly to how ETH operates on Ethereum.
