SEI is a specialized Layer 1 blockchain, designed especially for trading apps. It's known for being extremely fast, due to its innovative technology.
Description
Here’s how it works:
-
High Performance: SEI processes transactions much faster than many other blockchains, making it very efficient.
-
Frontrunning Prevention: It has a unique feature that stops frontrunning, a common issue where some users unfairly get ahead in trading.
-
Twin Turbo Consensus: This is SEI's special technique that makes it fast. It includes:
-
Quick Block Sharing: Blocks are shared quickly with validators, reducing wait times.
-
Optimistic Processing: Validators quickly start working on the first block they get, speeding up the process.
-
In summary, SEI can handle 22,000 orders per second with around 450ms block times. It's particularly good for decentralized exchanges (DEXes), allowing them to set up their own trading systems and markets right on the blockchain.
