Sei: The Leader in Next-Generation Blockchain Infrastructure

When the market is keen on chasing short-term profits, some far-sighted traditional financial participants have set their sights on a new direction: infrastructure that is more powerful, more compliant, and more seamlessly cross-chain. What they pursue is not short-term stimulation, but the underlying systems that can support the real operation of the next generation of finance. In this competition, Sei is gradually becoming a choice that attracts attention.

Sei's prominent feature is that it retains the technical advantages of cryptocurrency while actively embracing regulatory frameworks. It does not pursue short-term hype, but rather focuses on addressing the two most challenging issues in the implementation of blockchain: performance bottlenecks and compliance thresholds. This "slow is fast" development philosophy may be exactly the quality that the industry urgently needs to transition from speculation to practicality.

Performance Breakthrough: Moving Towards Millisecond-Level Processing

While most blockchains are still dealing with the issue of "hundreds of transactions per second", Sei has elevated speed to a new dimension: processing over 12,500 transactions per second (TPS) with a final confirmation time of just 400 milliseconds. This performance far surpasses that of the Ethereum mainnet, and is even 22% faster than a certain high-performance public chain that claims to be "lightning fast".

Moreover, Sei is fully compatible with Ethereum ecosystem development tools, such as Hardhat and Foundry, significantly reducing the migration and development costs for developers.

Compliance design tailored for institutions

As institutional investors begin to truly engage with Blockchain, the focus has shifted from "is it usable" to "is it trustworthy." In this regard, Sei has significantly reduced the risk of being captured by MEV in large transactions by introducing a "deterministic Gas fee" model, while also improving the predictability of overall trading costs. Additionally, high-performance RPC nodes with nanosecond-level response and audited memory pool architecture further enhance the on-chain system's friendliness towards institutional users.

The compliance capability of Sei goes beyond mere verbal commitments. A new entity in its ecosystem has recently established a compliance operation framework in the United States and launched a $65 million fund to support decentralized scientific research (DeSci) projects, which fully reflects a long-term commitment to and emphasis on compliance.

ETF: An Important Indicator of Market Confidence

Sei has also made key breakthroughs in asset tokenization. Recently, an asset management company submitted the first ETF application based on Sei-staked assets in the United States. This is not only an important milestone in Sei's development but also a recognition of the quality of its underlying assets by the entire industry.

It is worth noting that not all blockchain projects are qualified to launch staking asset ETFs. The inclusion of Sei in the ETF product itself represents a strong market endorsement. Against the backdrop of gradually warming market sentiment, such progress is likely to become a key factor in boosting confidence among the community and institutions.

Cross-Chain Liquidity Integration: Breaking Down Barriers Between Chains

To solve the problem of fragmented liquidity, Sei has collaborated with multiple cross-chain protocols to achieve seamless connectivity with mainstream blockchains such as Ethereum and Cosmos. Users can freely interact between protocols on different chains without the cumbersome bridging operations.

In addition, Sei has partnered with a well-known payment technology company to develop a compliant cross-chain stablecoin channel, ensuring the safe circulation of stablecoins across different chains. To incentivize liquidity providers, Sei has established a $50 million Liquidity Bootstrapping Fund (LBF) to support cross-chain trading and asset management.

Rapid Expansion of the Ecosystem

Since mid-2024, the Sei ecosystem has shown explosive growth. Currently, more than 150 projects have been deployed on the mainnet, with daily active addresses reaching 400,000 and a total user count exceeding 6.5 million. In the first quarter of 2025, the Total Value Locked (TVL) grew by 73.7%, reaching $363 million, and the market capitalization of stablecoins hit a historical high of $178 million.

The gaming sector has become a major driving force for growth. The average daily transaction volume related to gaming reached 354,000, an increase of 79.8% year-on-year. For example, a multiplayer online role-playing game similar to "World of Warcraft" has achieved significant user growth on these platforms.

In order to further promote ecosystem development, Sei has launched a $10 million creator fund and a $250,000 community team program to support the development of NFT and social projects, encouraging global creators to participate in ecosystem building.

Future Outlook: Giga Upgrade and Long-term Planning

Despite the impressive results so far, Sei's ambitions are clearly not limited to this. The Giga upgrade, planned for launch in 2025, will introduce a brand new EVM client, with performance expected to increase by up to 50 times compared to the current capabilities. This not only signifies a qualitative leap in processing power but also symbolizes a further advancement towards the goal of "universal infrastructure."

From infrastructure to ecological prosperity, and then to institutional design and technological evolution, Sei has completed in less than two years the path that traditional projects take five years to explore. It may not be the most eye-catching project on the market, but it is likely to be the strongest force in building the next Blockchain era.

Towards a Decentralized Future

The technological upgrade of Sei is not only a leap in performance but also an important step in its global strategic layout. As the ecosystem continues to grow and technological performance keeps improving, Sei is leading Blockchain technology towards a truly decentralized future.

In this process, Sei provides developers with a powerful technical platform and brings a more efficient and secure blockchain application experience to users worldwide. With the continuous advancement of technology, Sei is expected to become a bridge connecting the traditional Internet and the new generation of decentralized networks, leading the development of the next generation of the Internet.
