Sei vs Stellar

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.

Stellar is a payments‑focused blockchain that uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a federated Byzantine agreement where each node chooses its own quorum slices. Anchors issue fiat‑backed tokens, and Stellar’s built‑in DEX offers path payments that can hop through multiple assets in a single transaction. The 2023 Soroban upgrade added WebAssembly smart contracts, enabling on‑chain AMMs, lending and other DeFi primitives.
