Sei: Building a high-performance compliance cross-chain infrastructure leading a new era of blockchain
Sei: Building the Next Generation Blockchain Infrastructure
When the market is keen on short-term speculation, some far-sighted traditional financial participants have shifted their focus to more forward-looking areas: infrastructure with stronger performance, higher compliance, and smoother cross-chain capabilities. What they pursue is not short-term stimulation, but underlying systems that can support the next generation of financial systems. In this context, Sei is gradually becoming the focus of their attention.
The uniqueness of Sei lies in the fact that it retains the technical advantages inherent in cryptocurrency while actively embracing regulatory frameworks. It does not pursue short-term hype, but is committed to 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 as it shifts from speculation to practicality.
Performance Innovation: Millisecond-level processing capability
While most blockchains are still striving to enhance their ability to process hundreds of transactions per second, Sei has elevated the speed to a whole new level: it can process over 12,500 transactions per second (TPS), with a final confirmation time of only 400 milliseconds. This performance far exceeds that of the Ethereum mainnet and is even 22% faster than some public chains that claim to be "lightning fast."
More importantly, Sei is fully compatible with Ethereum ecosystem development tools such as Hardhat and Foundry, which greatly reduces the learning curve for developers and the difficulty of project migration.
Compliance design tailored for institutions
As institutional investors begin to engage more deeply in the Blockchain space, the focus has shifted from "can it be used" to "is it trustworthy". In response to this demand, Sei has introduced a "deterministic Gas fee" model, significantly reducing the risk of being captured by MEV in large transactions while improving the predictability of transaction costs. In addition, Sei is equipped with high-performance RPC nodes with nanosecond-level response and an audited memory pool architecture, features that greatly enhance the system's friendliness to institutional users.
Sei's emphasis on compliance is not only reflected at the technical level. Recently, a new entity in the ecosystem established a compliance operation framework in the United States and launched a $65 million fund specifically to support decentralized scientific research (DeSci) projects, further highlighting its commitment to long-term compliance development.
Staking Asset ETF: A Catalyst for Market Confidence
Sei has also made significant breakthroughs in asset financialization. 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 the development of Sei but also a high recognition of the quality of its underlying assets by the entire market.
It is worth noting that not all blockchain projects meet the criteria for launching a staking asset ETF. The inclusion of Sei in ETF products itself represents strong market endorsement. In the context of the current market sentiment gradually warming, this progress is likely to become a key factor in boosting community and institutional confidence.
Cross-Chain Liquidity Integration: Breaking Ecological Barriers
To address the issue of fragmented liquidity, Sei has partnered with multiple cross-chain protocols to achieve seamless connectivity with mainstream blockchains such as Ethereum and Cosmos. Users can interact freely between protocols on different chains without the cumbersome bridging operations.
In addition, Sei has collaborated with stablecoin issuers to develop compliant cross-chain channels, ensuring the secure 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.
The thriving development of the ecosystem: a comprehensive blossoming from finance to gaming
Since mid-2024, Sei's ecosystem has experienced explosive growth, attracting over 150 projects to deploy on the mainnet, with daily active addresses reaching 400,000 and total users 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 set a historical high of $178 million.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the gaming sector has become a major driving force for ecological growth. The average daily transaction volume related to gaming has reached 354,000, a year-on-year increase of 79.8%. For example, a multiplayer online role-playing game similar to "World of Warcraft" has achieved significant user growth on the Sei platform.
In order to further promote ecological 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 the construction of the ecosystem.
Starting Point of a New Stage: Giga Upgrade and Future Blueprint
Despite the current performance metrics being quite impressive, Sei is clearly not satisfied with the status quo. The Giga upgrade planned for 2025 will introduce a brand new EVM client, with performance expected to improve by 50 times compared to the current capabilities. This not only signifies a qualitative leap in processing power but also represents an important step for Sei towards its goal of "general infrastructure."
From infrastructure to ecological prosperity, and then to institutional design and technological evolution, Sei has completed in less than two years what 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 most solid cornerstone for building the next era of Blockchain.
Moving towards a decentralized future
The technical upgrade of Sei has not only brought a leap in performance but is also an important part of its global strategic layout. By establishing a compliant operating entity in the United States, it has laid a solid foundation for global expansion. With the continuous growth of the ecosystem and sustained improvement in technical performance, Sei is leading blockchain technology towards a truly decentralized future.
In this process, Sei not only provides developers with a powerful technical platform but also brings a more efficient and secure blockchain application experience to global users. With the continuous advancement of technology, Sei is expected to become a key bridge connecting Web2 and Web3, leading the development of the next generation of the internet.
