Cannes, France; June 30, 2025 – Somnia, the high-performance Layer 1 blockchain supported by a $270m fund and designed for reactive, fully on-chain applications in gaming and entertainment, today announces a collaboration with Google Cloud.
This collaboration integrates Google Cloud's technical infrastructure, AI agent development frameworks, and robust security with Somnia's entertainment-driven blockchain. The announcement, made during EthCC in Cannes, will redefine creativity and what’s possible for gaming developers worldwide.
Somnia recently achieved a milestone of 1 billion transactions on its testnet, with 250 million in less than a month and 80 million in a single day. Its validator ecosystem includes BCW Group, Luganodes, B-Harvest, Kiln, and many others.
Somnia’s architecture supports over 1 million TPS, sub-second finality, sub-cent fees, and decentralized design for mass simultaneous activity. More than 60 active projects are already building on its testnet, including Sparkball, Variance, Masks of the Void, and Maelstrom.
“Working with Google Cloud marks a huge step forward in setting the foundations for a truly agentic, on-chain internet,” said Paul Thomas, Founder of Somnia.

Somnia’s collaboration with Google Cloud brings enhanced security and AI-driven development to blockchain gaming. Benefits include:
- Google Cloud as Network Validator: Strengthening network security, reliability, and decentralization.
- Integrated Cloud Platform: Real-time blockchain data streaming and BigQuery analytics for developers.
- Enhanced Threat Intelligence: Security powered by Mandiant, addressing key risks like TGEs, smart contract launches, and private key protection.
- AI-Powered Agents: Integration of Google’s ADK, A2A, and MCP frameworks to enable dynamic NPCs and AI-driven markets within games.
“Google Cloud is dedicated to supporting the Web3 ecosystem with secure, scalable infrastructure and powerful AI capabilities. We’re excited to empower Somnia developers as they create agent-driven applications.”
