Somnia Introduces Data Streams to Challenge Chainlink’s Market Dominance
Somnia's new Data Streams infrastructure aims to revolutionize blockchain data accessibility by enabling real-time updates for applications. The Layer-1 network, which boasts sub-second finality and high throughput, could disrupt traditional RPC systems used in trading, gaming, and prediction markets.
The technology shifts the paradigm from query-based data retrieval to push-based updates, potentially reducing costs for developers. With mainnet already operational and phased rollouts planned, Somnia positions itself as a competitor to Chainlink's oracle solutions.
Market observers are now evaluating whether this innovation will translate into price appreciation for SOMI tokens in Q4 2025, particularly as the platform achieves full on-chain reactivity early next year.
