Bitcoin is the first decentralized blockchain, secured by proof‑of‑work where miners expend SHA‑256 hash power to find valid blocks every ~10 minutes. The supply is capped at 21 million coins, with inflation halving roughly every four years—the most recent halving occurred on 20 April 2024. Upgrades like SegWit and Taproot have enabled second‑layer protocols such as the Lightning Network and emerging covenants via OP_CTV debates.
Sei is a parallelised Cosmos‑SDK Layer‑1 optimized for order‑book exchanges, using Twin‑Turbo consensus to reach 300–400 ms finality. Its built‑in matching engine lets dApps compose on a shared liquidity layer, and fee markets are denominated in SEI with bulk‑order discounts. The ‘V2’ upgrade adds EVM compatibility via SeiDB and WASM contracts side‑by‑side.
