How it works

• From their website (13-10-2022):

"Sei features a native order matching engine that any application can leverage to instantly spin up new markets."

Upgrades

Interoperability

Oracle Method

• Uses frequent batch auctioning to prevent frontrunning (13-10-2022).
• From the docs (8-2022):

"Sei has an Oracle module to support asset exchange rate pricing for use by other modules and contracts. When validating for the network, participation as an Oracle is expected and required in order to ensure the most reliable and accurate pricing for assets. For oracle pricing, the voting rounds have several steps to ensure integrity and consensus of pricing data prior to accepting the exchange rates as the source of truth. In each voting period, there are two aggregation steps that oracles must participate in."

Usage

Projects that use or built on it

• Claims to have 50+ projects building on it. However, the website then says: "Built On Sei offers a comprehensive list of projects built on Serum and Solana." From Techcrunch (28-9-2022):

"So far, Sei’s ecosystem has over 50 teams, mainly coming from blockchains like Solana, NEAR, Polkadot and the defunct Terra, Feng shared. “They’re teams that have already raised venture funding and launched their applications, but felt that their current layer-1 ecosystems lacked what allowed them to really scale and provide the best user experience, which is why they came to us,” Feng said. “All of these teams came over without any incentives.”"
