Hacken Strengthens Somnia Mainnet as Validator

Hacken has joined the Somnia blockchain as a node validator, supporting its mainnet launch with enterprise-grade infrastructure and eight years of proven security expertise.

Somnia has already demonstrated its capabilities by processing more than 2 billion transactions during testnet, including a record-breaking 80 million transactions in a single day. With mainnet live, the network is capable of over 1 million transactions per second, sub-second finality, and ultra-low fees. These benchmarks position Somnia as a foundation for large-scale, fully onchain applications in gaming, AI, DeFi, and social platforms.

What is Somnia?

Somnia is an EVM Layer-1 blockchain designed for high throughput, suitable for real-time, fully onchain applications in areas such as gaming, social platforms, and AI-driven services. Its architecture combines MultiStream Consensus, Accelerated Sequential Execution, a custom database (IceDB), and advanced compression techniques with BLS signature aggregation, enabling the network to handle very large transaction volumes while maintaining consistent performance.

Hacken Validator Operations

Hacken operates its validator node on enterprise-grade infrastructure trusted by more than 1,500 digital asset leaders for security and compliance. This strengthens Somnia’s decentralization and resilience under any load.

Key features of Hacken validator operations include:

• High storage capacity for seamless ledger synchronization
• Advanced processing units for real-time validation and consensus participation
• Stable, high-speed connectivity to maximize uptime
• Continuous monitoring for rapid issue detection and resolution

Hacken’s Security-Focused Contribution to the Growing Ecosystem

Hacken brings enterprise-grade quality, AI-powered offensive security, and globally recognized certifications to the Somnia ecosystem, already supported by partners such as Google Cloud, Fireblocks, and BitGo. With more than 70 projects across gaming, AI, DeFi, and social applications, and integrations with leading Web3 tools, Somnia is expanding on solid technical foundations.

As part of the validator set, Hacken applies its security expertise to help the network operate reliably as adoption scales. Validator rewards may be reinvested into audits, monitoring, and risk assessments, creating a model where ecosystem growth and security progress together.

Looking Ahead

Joining Somnia’s validator set is the first step in a broader security partnership. Hacken will now work more closely with Somnia and its onchain application developers to strengthen resilience across the ecosystem and ensure that new adoption is matched with reliability and trust.
