The Somnia ecosystem is shifting from trading to building.
@dreamDEXSomnia Perps Arena has wrapped, and the focus now moves to the Perps Builder Bounty. Submissions close this Sunday, November 15, with $3,000 up for grabs across two tracks: feedback on the Perps API and SDK, and MVP builds such as trading bots, AI agents, and trader tools. Whitelist through the dreamDEX Discord.
Trading agents keep doing real work. dreamFly remains the easiest way in. It trades 24/7, adapts to market conditions, and knows when to sit out. Deploy it on Spot, Event Contracts, and Perps (testnet) with zero maker and taker fees.
The Somnia ecosystem keeps moving.

One in ten newly registered domains is algorithmically generated — tens of thousands each day. Malware, scams and malvertising campaigns use these domains to evade detection and blocking.
Today, we are introducing another new security heuristic — Algorithmically Generated Domains.
By combining advanced lexical and domain similarity analysis with frontier large language models, we can identify and block random-looking character strings, generated word combinations and numbered families — including names that may look ordinary on their own.
This goes far beyond limited lists of known DGA domains and basic entropy checks that attackers can deliberately evade.
Block Algorithmically Generated Domains now in the Security tab.
Follow @NextDNS for more security releases in the coming days.

Competitions and incentive programs are coming post mainnet for @dreamDEXSomnia.
Details are not yet finalised, but I would love to hear what you would like to see. What would make you want to trade on a new venue?

NEW: @Somnia_Network highlights its low-latency advantage with dreamDEX's fully onchain trading infrastructure.
Unlike platforms that rely on offchain components, Somnia says the entire execution process runs onchain.
The team claims execution is faster than light traveling from a Tokyo data center to China, potentially limiting MEV opportunities.
Tried the new @Somnia_Network explorer today, and wow, it's fast.
Everything feels smoother when exploring the explorer. Looking up transactions and checking what's happening on somnia is much easier now.
I also like how responsive everything feels while moving between different sections. When you're regularly checking onchain activity, having an explorer that works this smoothly makes a real difference.
It's a nice improvement for anyone following somnia, whether you're just checking transactions or digging deeper into network activity. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a look and see the difference yourself.

NEW: @Somnia_Network unveils a redesigned Somnia Explorer with real-time network analytics.
• Block time and finality
• Transactions and AI Agent activity
• Perp Markets and validator performance
Somnia Tokyo is currently recording ~99ms block times.
Explore: explorer.somnia.network/
MegaETH is 10× slower than Somnia.
MegaETH is 100× faster than Solana.
That means @Somnia_Network is roughly 1,000× faster than @solana proving it’s the fastest and most powerful EVM built for scaling the EVM ecosystem.

Perps Arena season standings are in 🏆
@Thepunisher22_ takes 1st and $350.
29 more traders split the rest of the $2,000 USDso pool.
Did you make the top 30?
Keep your 10 SOMI in place until rewards are paid out by November 16.
Results stay provisional until the sybil check.

Getting Somnia ready for financial markets meant stepping out of a race most L1s were running: competing for blockspace.
More blockspace wasn't the answer. Giving people a reason to use it was.
This week on Build in Public, we sit down with Somnia's founder, @0xPaulThomas.

g{s}omnia, everyone! ☕️
I spent some time with the updated @Somnia_Network website and Explorer this morning. Both look incredible. My favorite design choice is right on the homepage. You can start with something you’re curious about, like trading, lending or AI agents, and see how it works on Somnia.
I went straight to the @dreamDEXSomnia story. After spending the past few weeks trading there, I liked seeing what happens behind the interface. The site walks you through how orders are matched, how Somnia Oracle settles the outcome of an Up/Down market and where USDso fits in. The Venues section is worth a look too. It explains how different trading apps can share the same order books.
The Explorer is where I’ll probably spend the most time 🔎 You can look up a trading pair, check the spread and see how much liquidity there is on each side. On the USDso page, you can see which protocols received a share of the reserve yield and open the payout transaction yourself.
What I appreciate most is how much thought went into the navigation. I can send someone who’s new to Somnia straight to the homepage, and if a trader asks me about liquidity on SOMI/USDso, I know exactly which Explorer page to share. Great work by the team 👏

New: @HyperliquidX raised the bar for onchain perps. Now competition is pushing the entire industry forward.
The latest example: @dreamDEXSomnia on @Somnia_Network , showcasing 3ms fully onchain execution in Tokyo, zero trading fees, and impressive global latency.
More competition. Better technology. Higher standards.
This is the kind of progress the onchain perps industry needs.

NEW: USDso reserve yield is flowing to protocols on @Somnia_Network, according to onchain data shared by @vasyl_khlibko.
On Nov. 6, 306.62 USDso was distributed:
• 60.03 USDso → dreamDEX
• 13.50 USDso → SomniaLend
• 233.08 USDso → Somnia Foundation
Yield comes from USDso reserves managed by @fraxfinance.
The Foundation's allocation is intended for ecosystem incentives and $SOMI buybacks, although no actual buybacks have been confirmed onchain.
I went through the new @Somnia_Network explorer looking for interesting wallet activity and found something worth a closer look: where USDso’s reserve yield actually goes 🔎
On November 6, a single distribution paid out 306.62 USDso:
• 60.03 USDso to @dreamDEXSomnia
• 13.50 USDso to @somnialend
• 233.08 USDso to the Somnia Foundation
These are completed onchain transfers, so anyone can check the amounts and recipients.
The income comes from the reserves behind USDso, managed by @fraxfinance. Under the current framework, registered protocols receive a share based on how much USDso their eligible contracts hold over time. The Foundation receives the remainder.
For dreamDEX, this helps explain how an exchange can generate revenue without charging trading fees. USDso held in its markets contributes to its share of reserve yield. The explorer lists support for the Yield-Bearing CLOB and Insurance Funds as dreamDEX’s stated use of that income.
SomniaLend states that its share is used to provide additional yield to USDso suppliers in the lending pool. That gives the reserve income a practical role in the ecosystem, helping fund both trading infrastructure and lending incentives.
But the detail that caught my attention as a $SOMI holder was the Foundation’s stated use of its share: “Ecosystem incentivization and SOMI buyback.”
The revenue distribution is already visible. Actual SOMI purchases funded by these payments still need to be verified separately. There is no confirmed buyback amount or schedule in what I checked.
The potential is interesting, though. If USDso adoption grows and its reserves generate more income, there could be more funding available for protocols and the Foundation. If part of the Foundation’s income is then used to buy SOMI, that would connect stablecoin adoption to demand for the network’s token.
That depends on reserve yields, how liquidity is distributed and the Foundation’s allocation decisions. More activity alone does not guarantee that SOMI buybacks will take place.
Today’s amounts are modest, so I would not present this as a major source of buying pressure yet. What I like is that we can already follow the money and measure whether the mechanism grows.

Two years later @Gnosis_VPN is running permissioned exit nodes ran by a centralized entity.
Or you can try NymVPN from @nym that works in censored countries like Russia and China, and some nodes let you watch videos. And get a real mixnet for free at DevCon!

More data opens the door to more onchain markets.
Alongside integrations with partners like @StorkOracle, we’re building price feeds and oracle infrastructure to bring more real-world information onchain.
The result: more possibilities for new asset classes and markets.
What market would you like to see onchain?

Introducing Newly Active Domains (NAD) — a security heuristic few providers offer, and one that’s hard to get right.
NextDNS’s massive worldwide user base provides a baseline of tens of millions of domains with a recent history of activity. NAD lets those through and blocks the rest — even domains registered years ago.
And unlike traditional approaches that let the first visitors through before a domain ends up on some blocklist, NextDNS blocks from the very first DNS request.
Enable Block Newly Active Domains in the Security tab.
Stay put for more Security Month updates. Follow @NextDNS for every release.
