what's sei network?
Sei Network is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain optimized for decentralized finance (DeFi) and trading applications, featuring sub-second finality, high throughput exceeding 200,000 TPS, and ultra-low fees.

The network supports institutional-grade assets like tokenized funds from BlackRock and Brevan Howard, native USDC integration via Circle, and a growing ecosystem of DeFi protocols, gaming, and DeSci projects. Sei emphasizes real-time settlement to power global markets, stablecoins, and real-world assets (RWAs). Its native token, SEI, facilitates governance, staking, and transaction fees within the ecosystem.
