🏆 Somnia Data Streams Mini Hackathon Submission

Welcome to Somnia Data Streams Mini Hackathon, a global, online event taking place from November 4th to November 15th, 2025.

This project is our submission for the Somnia Data Streams Mini Hackathon, showcasing how Somnia Data Streams (SDS) transforms on-chain data into live, structured, and reactive streams. GigStream demonstrates real-time job matching, instant bid notifications, and live reputation updates—all powered by SDS SDK.

SDS (Somnia Data Streams) is a new SDK and protocol that turns on-chain data into live, structured, and reactive streams. Instead of waiting for updates or relying on oracles, developers can now get instant data directly from the blockchain.

GigStream leverages SDS to build a marketplace that reacts as things happen on-chain—jobs appear instantly, bids stream in real-time, and payments finalize in sub-seconds.

📖 Introduction

GigStream is a global, decentralized freelance marketplace that connects workers and employers worldwide through blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. Built on Somnia Network with Somnia Data Streams, GigStream enables real-time job matching, instant payments, and transparent reputation systems—all without platform fees.

The Problem

Traditional freelance platforms suffer from:

❌ High fees (20-30% commission)
❌ Slow payments (7-14 days)
❌ Centralized control (platforms can ban users)
❌ Limited transparency (reputation systems are opaque)
❌ Geographic restrictions (many platforms exclude informal workers)
❌ No real-time updates (polling-based, slow, inefficient)

Our Solution

GigStream leverages Somnia Network's revolutionary blockchain technology and Somnia Data Streams SDK to create a decentralized, real-time marketplace where:

✅ Instant payments via smart contract escrow
✅ Zero platform fees (only network gas costs)
✅ Real-time job matching powered by AI and Data Streams
✅ Live event streaming (no polling, instant updates)
✅ Transparent reputation on-chain
✅ Global accessibility for all workers worldwide

🔄 Somnia Data Streams Integration

GigStream demonstrates real-time, reactive data streaming using @somnia-chain/streams SDK 0.11.0 (official Somnia Data Streams SDK).

How We Use Somnia Data Streams

1. Real-Time Event Streaming

Live job postings: Jobs appear instantly via Data Streams when posted on-chain
Instant bid notifications: Bids stream in real-time as they're placed
Reputation updates: Reputation changes are streamed immediately
No polling required: All updates are reactive and instant

2. Structured Data Queries

Schema registration: Job schema registered on-chain for structured queries
Efficient job discovery: Query jobs by publisher, location, or status
Indexed data: Fast queries without scanning entire blockchain

3. Automatic Publishing

On-chain events trigger Data Streams: When a job is posted, it's automatically published to Data Streams
Structured format: Jobs are published with consistent schema for easy querying
Dual source display: Frontend shows jobs from both contract events and Data Streams

Implementation Details

SDK Integration:

import { SDK } from '@somnia-chain/streams'

// Initialize SDK
const sdk = new SDK({
  public: publicClient,
  private: privateClient, // For publishing
})

// Publish job to Data Streams
await publishJobToDataStream(sdk, {
  jobId: '1',
  employer: '0x...',
  title: 'Plumber needed',
  location: 'New York, US',
  reward: '500',
  deadline: '2025-12-01'
})

// Read jobs from Data Streams
const jobs = await readJobsFromDataStream(sdk, {
  publisher: '0x...',
  limit: 50
})

API Endpoints:

Real-time Event Streaming (Server-Sent Events):

GET /api/streams?type=jobs          # Job postings stream
GET /api/streams?type=bids          # Bids stream
GET /api/streams?type=completions  # Job completions stream
GET /api/streams?type=cancellations # Job cancellations stream
GET /api/streams?type=reputation    # Reputation updates stream

Data Streams API (Structured Data Queries):

GET /api/sds/read-jobs?publisher=0x...&limit=50  # Read jobs from Data Streams
POST /api/sds/publish-job                        # Publish job to Data Streams (automatic)

📖 About Somnia

Somnia is a high‑performance, cost‑efficient EVM‑compatible Layer‑1 blockchain capable of processing over 1.05 million transactions per second (TPS) with sub‑second finality. It supports millions of users and enables real‑time consumer applications like games, social platforms, and metaverses — all fully on‑chain.

Somnia Data Streams (SDS) is a new SDK and protocol that turns on-chain data into live, structured, and reactive streams. Instead of waiting for updates or relying on oracles, developers can now get instant data directly from the blockchain, enabling apps that react as things happen on-chain.
