Somnia, the record-breaking blockchain, has launched Shannon Testnet—a big step toward mainnet.
This new testnet from Somnia lets developers and users push blockchain scalability to new heights.
Following Somnia’s DevNet performance—1 million+ transactions per second (TPS), sub-second finality, and ultra-low fees—Shannon Testnet aims to take things even further. During DevNet testing, Somnia handled over 3.6 million transactions across 300,000+ unique addresses, proving its ability to support real-world demand.
The testnet will stress-test congestion resistance while offering developers the tools to build at an unprecedented scale. Here are the Key Features of Shannon Testnet
Shannon Testnet is built on groundbreaking innovations designed for maximum speed, efficiency, and decentralization:
These innovations make Shannon Testnet the most advanced blockchain testing environment available, paving the way for mass adoption.
With its unmatched speed and affordability, Somnia is opening the door to entirely new blockchain applications:
“Shannon Testnet is the proving ground for a fully on-chain future,” said Somnia founder Paul Thomas. “With 1M+ TPS, sub-second finality, and MultiStream Consensus, developers can build without limits, and users can experience blockchain at true internet scale.”
