Sei Labs is developing the fastest Layer 1 blockchain for trading that uses unique chain-level optimizations to provide decentralized exchanges and trading apps with a superior user experience, enhanced performance, and scalability.

The funds raised from the funding rounds will be used to further accelerate the growth of Sei Labs and deepen its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The company aims to cement its position as the fastest Layer 1 for trading and promote the development of the digital asset ecosystem worldwide.

This funding will accelerate our efforts to unlock the next cycle of new applications in Web3, enabling developers to build apps that are orders of magnitude more performant than before."

Sei has already demonstrated significant growth during its development phase. More than 120 teams are deploying on Sei ahead of mainnet, indicating strong developer excitement and support. Furthermore, Sei's latest public testnet, which went live on March 13th, has already attracted over 3.6 million unique users and processed over 35 million transactions in less than a month.

"We already had ample runway, so the primary goal of this capital raise was to get the right strategic partners around the table, and we’re elated with the crew that we were able to lock in," he said.

Sei Labs' success and potential have attracted top investors who recognize its unique value proposition and the role it can play in enhancing the performance and scalability of the trading ecosystem.
