The Somnia network has attracted industry attention with its astonishing 100 millisecond block time, a speed that inevitably recalls the shock of BSC's 3 second block time upon launch. However, just as evaluating a sports car cannot rely solely on its 0 to 100 km/h acceleration, the performance of a blockchain should not be judged solely by its block time.

Maintaining such a fast block generation speed under high transaction pressure, as well as how to handle network latency among globally distributed validation nodes, are practical challenges faced by Somnia. For traders, millisecond-level speed differences can indeed bring substantial advantages in the DeFi space, especially in terms of MEV and arbitrage. However, we also need to be cautious of the risk of chain reorganization that rapid confirmations may bring, particularly in cross-chain scenarios.

Looking back at history, EOS once attracted attention with its outstanding TPS data, but ultimately failed to fully leverage its technological advantages due to insufficient ecosystem development. This lesson tells us that pure technical indicators cannot determine the success of a blockchain project.

At the current stage, whether Somnia can attract enough developers and funding while maintaining high speed will be crucial. After all, in the blockchain world, network effects are often more important than mere technical parameters. We look forward to seeing how Somnia balances technological innovation with ecosystem development, as well as how it will respond to various challenges that may arise in actual operations.

The progress of blockchain technology is exciting, but its true value must be reflected through practical applications and widespread adoption. Let us all follow the development of Somnia and see how it finds a balance between fast confirmation and network security, as well as how it leverages its technological advantages to build a prosperous ecosystem.
