Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)[DIN Highlight] Hemi Network - Unifying Bitcoin and Ethereum
This week, we spotlight Hemi Network, a modular Layer-2 that bridges the two largest blockchains by volume and capitalization with a decentralized infrastructure backbone.Origin StoryHemi was born from the idea that Bitcoin and Ethereum shouldn’t exist in isolated silos. In 2024, Bitcoin core veteran Jeff Garzik and security expert Max Sanchez set out to create a network that converges the strengths of both. Unveiled at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Hemi’s testnet quickly gained traction, proces...

Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)[DIN Highlight] Rivet
In this week’s Web3 Wednesday, we highlight Rivet, a core contributor to the DIN protocol and a long-standing force in open source blockchain infrastructure. From the beginning, Rivet has focused on a single, urgent mission: eliminating the centralization that continues to limit the potential of Web3. As a partner and co-designer of DIN, Rivet has been instrumental in helping shape a new model for reliable, decentralized RPC.Solving Web3’s Centralization BottleneckRivet was built to solve a f...
Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)Breaking the ‘RPC Trilemma” - Charting a New Path for Web3 Infra’s Dirty Little Secret
IntroductionWeb3 RPC & API infrastructure companies serve as the backbone of the Dapp industry, servicing data and write access to blockchains to the large majority of the industry. However, with the evolution and maturation of the industry, the business model supporting this backbone faces a challenge. Termed by DIN as the “RPC trilemma,” web3 RPC & API providers are confronted with the difficulty to simultaneously achieve three competing priorities:High Reliability: Consistent uptime, low l...

This week on DIN's highlight, we turn our attention to Sei, a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain built for parallelized execution, Ethereum compatibility, and scalability at Solana-level speed. This is currently live on MetaMask Developer Dashboard via Infura and decentralized by DIN.
Login and try it now: https://developer.metamask.io
Sei Network originally launched as a high-speed Cosmos-based chain focused on DeFi. But with most developers building in Solidity, Sei's team evolved the protocol to speak the language of the EVM. The result is Sei v2, an upgraded Layer-1 that embeds a fully-integrated Ethereum Virtual Machine inside the Sei core, all while preserving blazing-fast performance (~390ms finality). It marks the first EVM chain to support true parallel execution natively.
Sei combines the Cosmos SDK with a Geth-based EVM, making it fully Ethereum-compatible. Core components include:
Parallel execution engine: Optimistically runs transactions in parallel, falling back to sequential execution on conflict.
Twin Turbo consensus: Optimized Tendermint variant tuned for sub-second block times.
SeiDB: A new storage model splitting state into a compact consensus-critical commitment and a full, fast-access store.
Integrated EVM: Solidity contracts deploy out-of-the-box using Ethereum tooling like Hardhat and MetaMask.
First Parallelized EVM: No need for developers to annotate transactions—the network handles conflict detection and scheduling.
EVM + CosmWasm: Supports both Solidity and Rust contracts; enables cross-VM calls.
MEV-aware plugins: Validators can run customizable MEV strategies; extraction is transparent and auditable.
SeiDB: Nodes use 20x less storage and sync 10x faster than legacy Cosmos chains.
Native restaking integrations: Designed for AVS participation via EigenLayer and Symbiotic.
As of mid-2025:
Over 2 billion transactions processed.
$200M+ TVL across DeFi, NFT, and gaming dApps.
dApps like Vortex DEX, NFT marketplaces, and on-chain games live.
Sei's L2-compatible bridge supports USDC, swETH, and other cross-chain assets.
Builders have deployed via Gitcoin grants and the $50M Sei Ecosystem Fund.
Sei v2's performance makes RPC a mission-critical component. DIN integration ensures:
High uptime via a federated network of providers.
Low latency thanks to geo-routed access.
Load balancing for 28K+ TPS workloads. This gives developers a resilient backend to match Sei's frontend speed.
Sei Giga upgrade will boost TPS to 250K with a new "Autobahn" consensus layer and fully parallelized VM.
Governance remains on-chain via SEI stakers, with grants, fee tuning, and upgrade approvals managed by community proposal.
The Sei Foundation and Labs support core dev, but validators and users shape long-term direction.
Sei supports all standard EVM tooling.
Devs can deploy with Hardhat, test with Foundry, or use Keplr for CosmWasm.
Grants available via Gitcoin and ecosystem fund.
Educational campaigns and "Accelathon" events foster new ideas and cross-chain collaborations.
