Powered by Somnia’s Web3 Infrastructure

Behind this massive event is the Somnia Network, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for entertainment and gaming. Known for low gas fees and fast performance, it’s becoming a serious contender in the blockchain space.

And the momentum doesn’t stop there. At EthCC8 in Cannes, Somnia revealed a partnership with Google Cloud, making the tech giant a validator on its network.

Thanks to this collaboration, game developers on Somnia can access:

• Real-time blockchain data via BigQuery

• Streaming tools through Pub/Sub

• AI-powered agents using A2A and ADK toolkits

This means smarter NPCs, more reactive environments, and enhanced security across all future Somnia titles.

Somnia’s founder Paul Thomas sees this as a leap toward a new kind of internet — one that’s on-chain, intelligent, and fully gamified.

Where to Join and What’s Next

All schedules, download links, and event access can be found via the official Somnia Notion page (external). Daily events happen on the Somnia Discord, and each game’s leaderboard has its own rules for rewards.

Whether you’re battling AI in Hive Invasion, shooting pool, or scanning QR codes in QRusader, there’s still time to dive into the Somnia Gaming Week, climb the leaderboards, and grab your share of the $10K prize pool.

This is your chance to experience the future of blockchain games — playable, competitive, rewarding, and powered by cutting-edge web3 infrastructure.

Will you rise to the top? The battle ends August 9 — so game on!
