Happy Eid Mubarak from all of us at Somnia!
May your celebrations soar as high as our TPS, and your joy be as scalable as our tech. Wishing you peace, blessings, and long life…
Somnia is becoming the first interplanetary blockchain, beginning with support for dogs as our first-class users.
After months of research, community feedback, and deep internal discussions, we’ve decided to take Somnia in a new direction.

Here are 3 ways to get test tokens (STT) to build your projects and test them out on Somnia.
We know how challenging it is sometimes for devs to get test tokens, and we don’t want builders in our ecosystem facing similar issues.
1. Join our Discord Community and request tokens in the #dev-chat channel
2. DM team members on X, as most of us are very active. (0xPaulThomas,Emma_Odia,ironsidecrypto, isaacpaaessuman)
3. Go to our Testnet site (https://testnet.somnia.network) and request STT from the “Get STT” option.
If you are unsure how to do it, here’s a guide here to help you: LINK!
