Improbable, the British metaverse technology company behind Yuga Labs' Otherside platform, is set to launch the Somnia blockchain's DevNet phase in the upcoming weeks. The blockchain promises to process over 400,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second latency and low fees, while also being Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible. According to Improbable, this groundbreaking technology has been in development for the past two years, aimed at enabling real metaverse applications at scale. Improbable's CEO, Narula, likened the need for improved blockchain scaling to a restaurant needing more waiters to serve more customers efficiently. However, he emphasized that merely adding waiters (parallel execution) would not suffice when orders become interdependent. Instead, he suggested a radically different approach to enhance the transaction capacity, likening the solution to supercharging a single waiter. Narula’s innovative vision underlines the crucial need for a robust blockchain infrastructure to support future metaverse experiences.
