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

Sei is the first Layer 1 specialized for trading, the single fastest chain to finality

1. optimizing every layer of the stack to give exchanges an unfair advantage
2. backed by Multicoin, Coinbase, Delphi, and a lot of large market makers
3. there are already 60+ teams building on top from Solana, Polkadot, NEAR, and Terra

By exploring the new design space between app chains and general purpose L1s, Sei has carefully selected a unique set of tradeoffs that make its layer 1 the optimal environment for trading.

Designed from the bottom up to scale, Sei unlocks new possibilities with optimizations including:

1. Built-in orderbook — solves the age-old order bookscaling issue
2. Frontrunning protection — MEV is a major drawback of popular chains like Ethereum and Solana
3. Finality — Sei is the fastest chain to finality at ~600ms, 5x faster than Solana, Sui, and 2x faster than Aptos.

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

Designed from bottoms-up to scale with the needs of decentralized exchanges, Sei has made several optimizations to Layer 1 to give exchanges an unfair advantage:

1. Native Order Matching Engine — drives scalability of orderbook DEXs built on Sei
2. Frontrunning Protection — combats malicious frontrunning that is rampant in other ecosystems
3. Intelligent Block Propagation — improves latency and throughput
4. Sub-Second Settlement — Sei is the fastest chain to finality at ~600ms

The combination of these optimizations makes it possible for new types of financial products to emerge — everything ranging from live sports betting to complex options and futures.
