Somnia Builder has entered the chat: Build open worlds with open infrastructure

Somnia Builder powered by Sequence announcement article

Forget duct-taping blockchain tools together just to launch a game. The era of fragmented web3 development is over.

With Sequence, developers get everything they need in one unified stack: smart contracts, embedded wallets, gasless transactions, indexers, analytics, marketplaces, and more. Every solution is designed to power fully onchain, user-owned experiences that scale from day one.

Enter the official launch of Somnia Builder: a low-code web3 development platform that brings this infrastructure to life. Somnia Builder enables developers and game designers to package assets, configure logic, and deploy immersive, metaverse-ready experiences on easy mode.

Backed by Sequence and built on the ultra-performant Somnia blockchain, Somnia Builder helps teams go from idea to launch in minutes, not months, with infrastructure that’s ready for real players, real economies, and real scale 👇

Somnia Builder: The fullstack for web3 game development

Somnia is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 built to handle real-time, mass-consumer applications at scale. With over one million transactions per second and sub-second finality, it’s tailor-made for web3 games, metaverses, and social platforms where every interaction, from logic to ownership, lives fully onchain.

Its testnet, Shannon, has already surpassed 1 billion transactions, proving Somnia isn’t just fast. It’s battle-tested and ready for production.

Now, Somnia Builder is bringing that power directly into the hands of developers and game creators. The platform’s low-code interface empowers developers and game creators to transform their ideas and digital assets into tokenized, interoperable components, without needing to write smart contracts or manage backend infrastructure.

What sets Somnia’s Builder apart is its integration with Sequence, the leading open source web3 stack trusted by leading chains, games, and app developers. Sequence handles all of the blockchain complexity: wallets, smart contracts, relayers, analytics, marketplaces, and more. All delivered through clean SDKs for Unity, Unreal, TypeScript, and React Native (mobile).

“Making web3 easier is a key part of the Somnia vision, and that includes developers. Sequence shares our focus on accessibility, and their new Somnia Builder will go a long way toward helping more builders get started.”
Paul Thomas, Founder of Somnia.

Together, Somnia and Sequence offer a complete, production-ready foundation for building user-owned, real-time, fully onchain experiences.

“Somnia Builder represents a major leap forward for onchain development. By combining Somnia’s ultra-performant L1 architecture with Sequence’s modular web3 stack, including embedded wallets, gasless relayers, and smart contract Blueprints, developers can now build production-ready, composable experiences without deep blockchain expertise. This is the kind of infrastructure shift that enables real-time, user-owned games and metaverse environments to scale seamlessly.”
Sam Barberie, Head of Strategy and Partnerships at Sequence

Together, Somnia and Sequence provide developers with everything they need to build, launch, and grow onchain games, from seamless player onboarding to fully composable in-game economies. And the proof isn’t hypothetical, it’s already live in the hands of real teams.

Sequence and Somnia’s proven success in web3

Sequence and Somnia have been long-time partners in shaping the future of onchain game development, and the results are already showing. Together, they’re powering some of the most exciting fully onchain titles in development today, including:

Many of these titles have entered the Somnia ecosystem through Dream Catalyst, a $10 million game accelerator with Uprising Labs offering funding, infrastructure, mentorship, and go-to-market support.

These web3 games represent a growing ecosystem of teams building on Somnia’s high-performance Layer 1, using Sequence’s modular infrastructure to enable real-time interactions, full asset ownership, and deeply composable gameplay logic.

And it’s not just builders backing the stack. Google Cloud is a mutual partner of both Sequence and Somnia, bringing enterprise-grade infrastructure, security, and scalability into the fold as web3 gaming moves into mainstream territory.

What used to take weeks of backend development and multiple vendor integrations can now be accomplished in minutes, thanks to the combined power of Somnia Builder and Sequence.
