Somnia

Overview

Somnia is a high-performance, cost-efficient EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain capable of processing over 1,000,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-second finality. It is suitable for serving millions of users and building real-time mass-consumer applications like games, social applications, metaverses, and more, all fully on-chain.

Units

Each Somnia is comprised of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10¹⁸) wei, so not even a single somnia can be stored numerically without exceeding the range of JavaScript numbers. Gas fees are denoted in gwei.

1 somi = 10¹⁸ wei
1 wei = 10^-18 somi
1 gwei = 10^-9 somi

For that reason, only string balance properties are available, which are balanceString, confirmedBalanceString, and spendableBalanceString.

Tokens

The Somnia blockchain natively supports tokens.

Create Wallet

export BITGO_EXPRESS_HOST="<YOUR_LOCALHOST>"
export COIN="tstt"
export ACCESS_TOKEN="<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>"
export LABEL="<DESIRED_WALLET_NAME>"
export PASSPHRASE="<YOUR_BITGO_LOGIN_PASSPHRASE>"
export ENTERPRISE_ID="<YOUR_ENTERPRISE_ID>"

curl -X POST \
 http://$BITGO_EXPRESS_HOST/api/v2/$COIN/wallet/generate \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "label": "'"$LABEL"'",
    "passphrase": "'"$PASSPHRASE"'",
    "enterprise": "'"$ENTERPRISE_ID"'",
    "walletVersion": 4
}'

bitgo
  .coin('tstt')
  .wallets()
  .generateWallet({
    label: 'My Test Wallet',
    passphrase: 'secretpassphrase1a5df8380e0e30',
    enterprise: '5612c2beeecf83610b621b90964448cd',
    walletVersion: 4,
  })
  .then(function (wallet) {
    // print the new wallet
    console.dir(wallet);
  });

Create Address

export WALLET="585c51a5df8380e0e3082e46"
export ACCESS_TOKEN="<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>"

curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
https://app.bitgo-test.com/api/v2/tstt/wallet/$WALLET/address

bitgo
  .coin('tstt')
  .wallets()
  .getWallet({ id: '585c51a5df8380e0e3082e46' })
  .then(function (wallet) {
    return wallet.createAddress();
  })
  .then(function (newAddress) {
    // print new address details
    console.dir(newAddress);
  });

Consolidate Balance

Consolidation Fee Source: Somnia Gas Tank

Somnia uses forwarders, so it does not support manual consolidation

Estimate Fee

export COIN="tstt"
export ACCESS_TOKEN="<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>"

curl -X GET \
 https://app.bitgo-test.com/api/v2/$COIN/tx/fee \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN"

const BitGoJS = require('../../../src/index.js');
const bitgo = new BitGoJS.BitGo({ env: 'test' });
const accessToken = '<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>';
const coin = 'tstt';

async function getFeeEstimate() {
  try {
    await bitgo.authenticateWithAccessToken({ accessToken });
    const res = await bitgo.coin(coin).feeEstimate({ numBlocks: 2 });
    console.dir(res);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Error fetching fee estimate:', err);
  }
}

getFeeEstimate();

wallet.sendMany(params).then(function (transaction) {
  // Print transaction details
  console.dir(transaction);
});

Stake

Staking is out of scope for these chains as they don’t have native support for them.
