A Guide To Building On Sei

Introduction

At Sei Labs we have one core thesis: The fundamental use case of blockchains is the ability to exchange digital assets.

Digital asset trading transcends just DeFi; it underpins every popular application in crypto today. From Opensea to Axie to Uniswap, the exchange of digital assets is fundamental to crypto.

Our vision is for Sei be the super-highway for trading activity, globally across any digital asset. Just like Steam is for games, and Amazon is for E-commerce; we want it to be Sei for digital asset trading.

How does Sei accomplish this? By being the fastest Layer-1 blockchain out there optimized for the exchange of digital assets. Today, Sei offers:

·   400 ms time to finality

·   20,000 Transactions Per Second (TPS)

·   2x faster than Aptos, 10x faster than Solana and Sui

For more information on why you should build on Sei and a greater elaboration of what Sei offers, visit the Sei Lite Paper. With its Twin Turbo Consensus mechanism alongside parallelization of orders and other technical advantages, Sei enable developers to build highly scalable and efficient decentralized applications (DApps) on Sei.
