Introducing Sei: Empowering the Future of Trading on the Blockchain

Sei Labs is revolutionizing the world of cryptocurrencies with its groundbreaking solution, Sei. With a strong belief that the exchange of digital assets lies at the heart of the crypto industry, Sei is designed to scale trading apps and exchanges, driving the widespread adoption of Web3. This purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain offers unmatched infrastructure, optimized at every level of the stack, to create the ultimate trading experience.

 

Trading: Redefined and Expanded

Trading in the crypto realm extends far beyond traditional notions of candle charts and technical analysis. It encompasses a diverse range of assets and activities, including tokens, NFTs, real-world assets, metaverse holdings, risk, and social interactions. Even popular Web3 applications like Bitcoin, MetaMask, Uniswap, and OpenSea derive their value and success from the ability to exchange assets seamlessly. Trading has become the fundamental use case of crypto, surpassing expectations and reshaping the industry.

 

The Growing Importance of Trading

As Web3 continues to flourish, the role of trading will only amplify. The surge in digital assets necessitates efficient and continuous asset exchange, while the increasing regulatory pressure on centralized exchanges pushes more activity onto the blockchain. Trading is not only relevant but poised to experience exponential growth alongside the entire industry. To harness this potential, trading apps must scale and adapt to meet the demands of a rapidly expanding user base.

 

Overcoming the Trading Trilemma

While on-chain trading has proven its market fit, scaling trading apps has posed significant challenges. The "Trading Trilemma" highlights the difficulty of achieving decentralization, scalability, and capital efficiency simultaneously. Existing Layer 1 and Layer 2 infrastructures struggle to provide the necessary speed, throughput, reliability, and protection against miner extractable value (MEV) issues. Sei steps in as a purpose-built solution, offering a game-changing approach to address the scalability problem.

 

Unleashing the Power of Sei

Sei, an open-source Layer 1 blockchain, is poised to redefine the trading landscape. It stands out as the fastest Layer 1 for trading, optimizing every aspect of its infrastructure to provide unparalleled performance. With a lightning-fast time to finality of as low as 300ms and innovative Twin-Turbo consensus, Sei achieves unmatched speed and efficiency. The built-in matching engine and front-running prevention mechanisms offer inherent advantages to trading apps, while automatic order bundling enhances throughput and user experience. Sei ensures that trading apps no longer face a tradeoff between decentralization and user-friendly features, as it seamlessly combines the benefits of both worlds.

 

The Power of Layer 1: Sei's Advantage

Sei Labs initially considered building Sei as a Layer 2 solution on Ethereum. However, they realized that decentralization concerns and scaling difficulties associated with Layer 2 pushed them towards creating Sei as a powerful Layer 1 blockchain. By focusing on trading as a universal need, Sei attracts developers looking to build a wide range of applications in the Web3 ecosystem. The Sei ecosystem has already garnered significant interest from teams migrating from Ethereum, Solana, zkSync, Polygon, and Sui.
