About Sei

Sei's EVM (introduced with Sei v2) runs Geth-based execution behind a parallelized engine and uses Twin Turbo Consensus, derived from CometBFT/Tendermint, for fast block production and instant finality. Block times are around 400 milliseconds with single-block, BFT finality, and the EVM is fully bytecode-compatible so existing Solidity contracts and tooling work unchanged.

The native asset SEI pays for gas on the EVM and secures the network through proof-of-stake. Sei targets trading-heavy applications, and its ecosystem has concentrated around DeFi protocols and DEXes. On the EVM, SEI is represented with 18 decimals.

Common Use Cases on Sei

  • On-chain trading and order-book DeFi
  • DEXes and AMMs
  • Lending and stablecoin markets
  • EVM smart contract deployment
  • High-frequency, low-latency applications

Sei Ecosystem

DeFi leaders include Yei Finance, DragonSwap, Sailor, and Takara Lend, alongside a growing set of EVM-native protocols.
