Orbiter Finance and Somnia expand cross-chain connectivity to revolutionize decentralized finance and gaming applications

The need for more efficient bridges between blockchain networks has driven a new strategic collaboration in the crypto ecosystem. Orbiter Finance, a platform that has facilitated over 35 million transactions for a user base of 4.3 million, joins forces with Somnia Network to create an unprecedented technological bridge between different blockchains.

Somnia MultiStream: the engine of this integration

Somnia’s MultiStream protocol represents a fundamental shift in how transactions are executed. This innovative consensus mechanism processes over 1 million transactions per second, turning what once seemed impossible into a tangible reality. Somnia’s layer 1 architecture was specifically designed for applications demanding extreme speed and scalability without compromises.

Orbiter, on its part, contributes its (Zero-Knowledge) proof technology to this equation, ensuring that each transfer between chains is secure, verifiable, and economically viable. This combination of MultiStream with Orbiter’s advanced cryptography creates an environment where speed and security are not antagonistic concepts but complementary.

Supported networks and operational reach

The integration covers a broad spectrum of established blockchain infrastructures. Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, Base, and Polygon are now part of an interconnected ecosystem where assets flow between networks with the same ease as within a single platform.

For DeFi users and game developers, this means instant access to distributed liquidity. Users can transfer funds to and from Somnia while maintaining the same efficiency standards expected from traditional platforms, but without the speed or cost limitations that characterized previous solutions.

Implications for the future

This partnership responds to a market reality: liquidity fragmentation across chains is no longer acceptable. Decentralized gaming, in particular, requires instant and cost-effective transactions to operate at scale. DeFi protocols demand speed to capture arbitrage opportunities and enable seamless user experiences.

Orbiter and Somnia are positioning themselves at the center of this transformation, building the infrastructure that will enable the next generation of cross-chain applications.
