Api3 is Live on Somnia

Api3 oracles are now live on Somnia — fully permissionless, instantly accessible, and available through the Api3 Market. Unlike traditional oracles, these feeds are powered directly by first-party nodes run by the data providers themselves. That means no middlemen, no hidden trust assumptions — just source-level integrity.

What makes this deployment stand out is that every feed on Somnia comes with OEV recapture built in. When valuable actions like liquidations are possible within a protocol, searchers can win an on-chain auction to access the latest price data before it becomes public. They use that access to execute the action, while the auction proceeds are returned to the dApp that created the opportunity.

In other words: leaked value becomes native revenue. Protocols boost performance without changing a single line of application logic.

Why Somnia

Somnia is a cost-efficient, EVM-compatible Layer 1 designed for scale. Capable of processing over 1,000,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality, it provides the foundation for mass-consumer apps like games, social platforms, and metaverses — all fully on-chain.

Built to unify fragmented metaverse ecosystems, Somnia enables interoperable assets, economies, and experiences. Its scalability, low fees, and composability make it an ideal environment for builders and users to collaborate, own, and share value.

That mission aligns perfectly with ours: delivering oracle infrastructure that lets developers recapture the value they create, instead of losing it to extractive actors.

What This Means for Developers

Deploying on Somnia now gives your dApp or metaverse app access to oracles that don’t just deliver secure, reliable data — they also generate revenue. With OEV recapture built in, every price update can create a protocol-native income stream without touching your user flow or logic.

Because feeds are maintained directly on-chain by first-party oracles, there’s no off-chain infrastructure to manage. You simply read verifiable data, focus on growth — and earn.

Whether you’re building lending markets, derivatives, or any app that depends on fresh, reliable data, you now get that data and keep the value it unlocks.
