description Sei Network Overview
Sei is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain specifically optimized for trading. It was the first to introduce parallelized EVM, allowing developers to build Ethereum-compatible dApps while benefiting from Solana-like speeds. Sei's architecture focuses on minimizing latency and maximizing throughput for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and order book systems. By combining the familiarity of the EVM with a high-performance consensus engine, it bridges the gap between ease of development and extreme performance.
help Sei Network FAQ
Why was Sei Network designed for trading?
Sei is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for fast exchange activity, with parallel execution intended to process non-conflicting transactions at the same time. Its native token is SEI, which is used for network fees and staking.
What does parallelized EVM mean on Sei?
Sei V2 provides an Ethereum Virtual Machine environment, so developers can use Solidity and familiar Ethereum tools. Compatible transactions may run in parallel when they do not depend on one another.
Can MetaMask connect to Sei Network?
MetaMask can connect to Sei's EVM network when the correct RPC and chain settings are used. Users still need SEI for fees, while Cosmos-side assets may require a wallet such as Keplr or a compatible bridge.
Is Sei Network the same blockchain as Solana?
No, Sei is an independent Layer 1, while Solana is a separate chain with its own runtime and SOL token. Sei also has Cosmos ecosystem roots and EVM compatibility, giving developers a different path from Solana.
