Vodra

We are excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Somnia Network and Somnia Games, an alliance built to bring the next generation of on-chain gaming directly to the world of live streaming. This collaboration connects high-performance Web3 technology with the passion of millions of fans, setting a new course for digital entertainment and the creator economy.

Gaming: The Ultimate Social Frontier

Gaming two decades ago meant a high schooler turning on a console and ignoring homework. Today, gaming is much more than a hobby; it is a global social medium. Whether people are making a living out of it, or playing for enjoyment, or consuming content made by others of it, the idea and concept have grown into a culture.

Millions of people tune into live streams not just for the game itself, but for the community, the conversation, and the shared experience with their favorite creators. This live environment is where connections are forged, new trends begin, and culture (memes) is made.

Vodra started as a way to benefit those looking to make gaming their careers. It turned into something much larger than that over the past five years, and the vision never really changed. Web3 is a major catalyst for an increasingly digital world, and streaming, and by extension, gaming, is at the center of entertainment now.

The Community is the Center: Ownership and Voice

Web3 has always been a powerful force for building international communities and returning control to the users. NFTs showed the true power of a community-first approach. Evangelists forming around figureheads or projects were intense and burned incredibly bright. At the center of that was the idea that there was no middleman between a creator and their audience. This partnership champions that philosophy:

True Ownership: Somnia enables games to run fully on-chain. This means in-game items, characters, and achievements are not just developer-controlled data points. They become true digital assets owned by the players as NFTs, creating real economies that extend beyond the game’s boundaries.
A Living, Evolving World: By empowering players with true ownership, the community is encouraged to contribute, trade, and build within their favorite worlds. This allows games to evolve in ways that are driven by the players themselves, fostering richer and more resilient ecosystems.

Vodra’s Mission: Empowering the Global Creator

Vodra’s role is simple and vital: to be the bridge that connects these revolutionary games with the massive global audience of content creators. We will bring ambitious titles from Somnia Games onto the biggest live streams, helping them find their new audience among passionate players looking for the next big hit.

Crucially, this partnership will deliver an immediate and significant benefit to streamers: low-fee, instant USDC payouts on the Somnia Network.

This is a fundamental upgrade for the creator economy:

Maximum Income: Creators keep more of their earnings because transaction fees are low.
Global Access: USDC is a stable, universally accepted currency, providing instant and reliable payments to creators anywhere in the world.

Lowering the Barrier for Indie Innovation

This partnership doesn’t just benefit creators. Vodra benefits game studios and developers that cannot hope to compete with the large budgets of AAA studios.

Staying true to the traditional grassroots marketing these games typically use helps studios and developers reach players.

This creates a two-way street for gamers and streamers to interact:

Instant Distribution: Small studios can quickly get players globally who have audiences, creating a flywheel effect that comes with community.
Player Retention: These communities then regularly start playing and giving feedback to studios, allowing them to build rather than worry about mass marketing.

The Vision: Seamless Integration of Play and Pay

The future of gaming and streaming is one where the financial layer fades into the background, and the focus remains entirely on fun, community, and creation. By combining Somnia’s high-performance blockchain with Vodra’s focus on creator-empowerment and audience-connection, we are building a digital world where:

Players are also owners.
Streamers are paid instantly and fairly.
The community dictates the direction of the game.

This partnership is dedicated to making this seamless, community-driven future a reality for millions.
