# Somnia networks

> Every Somnia network: the Global L1, each Regional Subchain and each testnet, with chain ID, currency, RPC and explorer.

Somnia is the Global L1 plus Regional Subchains, each with a testnet. Every live network runs the same EVM, so contracts, wallets and tooling work on each of them unchanged.

| Network | Kind | Region | Chain ID | Currency | RPC | Explorer |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Global | Global L1, mainnet | Worldwide | `5031` | SOMI | `https://api.infra.mainnet.somnia.network/` | [explorer.somnia.network](https://explorer.somnia.network) |
| Tokyo | Regional Subchain, mainnet | Asia-Pacific, Tokyo | `50321` | SOMI | `https://api.tokyo.infra.mainnet.somnia.network` | [new.explorer.somnia.network/tokyo](https://new.explorer.somnia.network/tokyo) |
| New York | Regional Subchain, mainnet | Americas, New York | Coming soon | SOMI | Coming soon | Coming soon |
| Global testnet | Testnet | Worldwide | `50312` | STT | `https://api.infra.testnet.somnia.network/` | [explorer.testnet.somnia.network](https://explorer.testnet.somnia.network) |
| Tokyo testnet | Testnet | Asia-Pacific, Tokyo | `50383` | STT | `https://api.hideki.infra.testnet.somnia.network/` | [explorer.testnet.somnia.network/tokyo](https://explorer.testnet.somnia.network/tokyo) |

WebSocket endpoints for each network are in [Public RPCs](/network/rpcs). Test STT for the two testnets comes from the faucets on the [Global testnet](https://explorer.testnet.somnia.network/faucet) and the [Tokyo testnet](https://explorer.testnet.somnia.network/tokyo/faucet).

## Global and Regional Subchains

| | Global L1 | Regional Subchain |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Optimised for | Throughput, globally | Latency, in one region |
| Validators | Distributed worldwide | Co-located in a financial centre |
| Execution | EVM | EVM |
| Contracts and tooling | Solidity, standard wallets | The same, with no changes |
| Settlement | Native | Connected back to Global |
