About Sei (SEI)

Sei is a Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed to enhance decentralized finance (DeFi) applications by addressing the "Exchange Trilemma," which involves balancing decentralization, scalability, and capital efficiency. Built on the Cosmos SDK, Sei integrates the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, enabling seamless cross-chain asset transfers and interactions within the Cosmos ecosystem.

What Makes Sei Special?

Sei introduces several innovative features that set it apart in the DeFi landscape:

• Twin-Turbo Consensus: Sei employs a modified Tendermint consensus mechanism, known as Twin-Turbo Consensus, which includes optimizations like Intelligent Block Propagation and Optimistic Block Processing. These enhancements reduce block times to sub-second finality, significantly improving transaction speeds and efficiency.
• Parallel Execution: The platform implements parallel processing to handle high-frequency trading and decentralized exchange operations more efficiently, allowing multiple transactions to be processed simultaneously and enhancing overall throughput.
• Native Order-Matching Engine: Sei features a built-in order-matching engine that supports complex trading activities, including single-block order execution and order bundling. This integration enhances trading efficiency and reduces slippage for users.
• Anti-MEV Mechanisms: To protect against malicious behaviors like frontrunning, Sei incorporates mechanisms such as order batching and frequent batch auctions, ensuring a fair and secure trading environment.
• Sei V2 Upgrade: The recent Sei V2 upgrade introduces parallelized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) support and SeiDB for enhanced state storage and scalability, enabling developers to seamlessly port existing Ethereum-based smart contracts to the Sei ecosystem.
