XION is Integrating Sei, Bringing Chain Abstraction to its Thriving High-Speed Multi-VM Ecosystem

The integration will combine Sei’s lightning-fast, developer-focused environment with XION’s user-first L1, creating the ideal foundation for consumer-ready applications to thrive across ecosystems.

XION is integrating the Sei network, bringing Chain Abstraction to Sei's rapidly growing ecosystem of high-speed applications. This integration introduces the seamless flow of native assets and accounts through IBC, unlocking new opportunities for cross-chain interoperability within Sei's high-speed network and expanding XION’s Chain Abstraction solution to a broader developer and user base. By combining Sei’s focus on developer accessibility with XION’s commitment to improving Web3 user experience and interconnectedness, this integration will accelerate mainstream adoption.

XION has been expanding its Chain Abstraction solution across numerous leading blockchains to unify fragmented ecosystems, making it one of the most interconnected chains in the industry. By integrating with XION, Sei not only boosts its technical capabilities but also gains access to XION’s user base of 3.6 million as well as users from all connected ecosystems. This will drive liquidity between ecosystems, unifying the fragmentation of users, liquidity, and developers across networks to further drive mainstream adoption of blockchain technology.

Sei Overview

Sei is one of the fastest Layer 1 blockchains and one of the first parallelized EVM. The Sei network is built to offer unmatched speed, capable of processing thousands of transactions per second with finality times of just 380 milliseconds. Sei’s architecture is also designed with developer accessibility in mind, offering an intuitive and flexible environment that allows developers to build complex applications with relative ease.

Sei’s latest iteration, Sei V2, takes the proven advantages of Sei and makes them more accessible to EVM developers. Sei V2, which launched its mainnet beta in July 2024, empowers developers to build their applications on a highly performant EVM-compatible blockchain. This allows developers to get the best of both worlds — EVM compatibility coupled with Sei’s near-instant settlement speed. Sei’s focus on bringing speed and high performance to Web3 aligns with XION’s mission to make Web3 easy to use and efficient for everyone, regardless of their technical knowledge.

Connecting Developers with Users  

XION aims to simplify Web3 for everyone by addressing some of the biggest user experience problems that plague Web3 users today. To that end, XION remains committed to delivering developers and users with a more simplistic and intuitive user experience on Web3, and one of the biggest hurdles to addressing these issues continues to be fragmentation. Fragmentation results in the dispersal of users and developers across isolated chains, which hampers the industry's growth. 

Sei V2 offers improved accessibility and scalability for developers building on its high-speed, multi-VM-compatible platform. By integrating XION’s Chain Abstraction, which mitigates cross-chain complexities, Sei V2 will benefit from enhanced interoperability and a more user-friendly experience. This integrated approach will be instrumental in attracting both developers and users to both ecosystems, furthering industry adoption. Like XION, Sei continues to show its commitment to driving adoption with its recent $50 million Japan Ecosystem Fund. The fund was established to invest in Web3 gaming, social, and entertainment applications geared towards non-crypto natives.

In the past, L1 chains have fought for users, liquidity, and developers. XION’s Chain Abstraction shifts this dynamic by allowing L1s to benefit from shared pools of users, liquidity and developers. XION has already integrated with several other major ecosystems, including Solana, BNB, Injective, and AVAX. These integrations will transition from XION’s testnet to its upcoming mainnet, enhancing cross-chain interoperability and expanding functionality within all integrated ecosystems.

Continued Expansion

The integration between XION and Sei will enable frictionless cross-ecosystem composability. In addition to enhanced interoperability, the integration will empower developers to create optimal end-user experiences between XION and Sei’s ecosystem. As both ecosystems continue to onboard more developers, they’ll be able to leverage XION’s growing network of integrated chains to build a more interconnected and user-friendly experience, further accelerating mainstream adoption.
