DeFi doesn’t have an innovation problem. It has a parts problem. Our CTO @RJFWhite has a real take on why, and it’s the reason Somnia refuses to rent a single layer of its stack. Building in Public, this week 🧵

3. Next up: retiring the vanilla explorer “Somnia Markets is one of our most exciting products right now. And the new explorer. The current one is pretty vanilla. The next one is built to show the full picture: core chain, trading, inference, and account protocols.” More from @0xPaulThomas on why we’re building it 👇 nitter.cf/0xPaulThomas/status/21…
We're building a new block explorer. Our new tech is so fast the existing ones can't keep up. Fun fact 90% of explorer traffic from what we see is today agents/bots. I feel like if we keep going at this pace the internet infra is going to need to be upgraded.

4. Most of DeFi is still waiting for its vendors to innovate. Somnia stopped waiting. Our answer to the stall is simple: own the whole stack. What builders can do with it comes next, and it’s not something you can fork. Got a question for Rob? Drop it below 👇

DeFi has a stack problem. Same market data providers. Same oracle rails. Same chain forks. Same latency ceiling. When you’re using off the shelf tech, you can only innovate within what those pieces support. This week on Build in Public, Somnia CTO @RJFWhite will break down that gap, and highlight what becomes possible when you own the stack end to end. Turn on your notifications.

We’ve spent much of 2026 rebuilding Somnia’s foundations. Now, the focus is shifting towards making what we’ve built accessible, bringing it to market and preparing for what’s next. For this week’s Building in Public, we sat down with our CEO, @lippylipka, to unpack his three biggest priorities. Here’s what he shared 🧵

3. Looking towards 2027 “I’m also spending time planning for 2027. 2026 has been about getting our core in order: restructuring, rebuilding and putting the right technical, operational and team foundations in place. 2027 is about building on that base, with more room to innovate and experiment. That’s what I’m excited about.” 3/4

For too long, DeFi has relied on external bots to watch the chain and trigger transactions. We wanted to change that. With Somnia Reactivity, smart contracts can respond to onchain events automatically, in the very same block. Making it work was a different story. Here’s what it took to build it.

Speed unlocks better DeFi experiences. And we’re about to turn things up a notch.
Fast apps start with fast blocks Among L1s, the quickest chains produce blocks up to 167x faster than the slowest. Milliseconds versus seconds is a gap users feel every day. See who has the fastest and smoothest UX right now 👇 📊 chainspect.app/dashboard?sor…
