Justin Barlow, head of Business Development at the Sei Foundation, discussed the unique positioning of Sei as an EVM-compatible, high-throughput blockchain that addresses limitations seen in other networks like Ethereum. The Sei Foundation focuses on driving ecosystem growth through investments in diverse sectors like DeFi, gaming, social networks, and emerging areas like AI and decentralized science (DeSci), with a recent $65 million fund dedicated to DeSci projects. Sei operates as a fully independent blockchain with its own infrastructure, aiming to provide developers with opportunities to build complex on-chain applications that were previously too expensive or technically challenging. The upcoming Sei Giga upgrade promises to significantly increase transaction capacity to over 200,000 transactions per second, potentially enabling large-scale applications to run on blockchain infrastructure.
