Let me tell you about…

SEI!!!

♒ Sei — The First Sector Specific Layer 1, specialized for trading/

Sei is the first Layer 1 specialized for trading, giving exchanges an unfair advantage.

there are already 120+ teams building on top from Solana, Polkadot, NEAR, and Terra

Sei goes head to head with Aptos, Sui, Solana, and NEAR for good devs.

🤔 What problem does Sei solve? Exchanges are the greatest killer app of crypto — AMMs, OBs, NFTs, GameFi GameFi = game built around an exchange like Axie or StepN

NFTs = core use case is still speculation and trading

as a result, exchanges have the largest network effect — major ecosystems get built around exchanges

Ironically, exchanges are the most underserved application in crypto

have a unique set of requirements around reliability, scalability and speed

if FTX goes down for a few minutes, it’s catastrophic, but that’s more tolerable for a game

DEXes succeed in spite of the underlying Layer 1s

Sei unlocks an entirely new design space in between the two — not the general purpose nor app-specific but DEX-specific.

Sei has the opportunity to combine all these benefits — composability and coordination from general purpose and customizability and interoperability from more app-specific chains.

I’ve got no chance to not participate SEI testnet events.

More next time!!
