SEI Token Rocks Altcoin Market With 50% Surge: What’s Driving The Momentum?

Turning the tide in the altcoin race, Sei Network’s SEI token has experienced an extraordinary 50% surge in the last 24 hours, outperforming the top 100 cryptocurrencies. This surge has pushed the token’s current trading price to $0.3638. 

Attracting Global Attention? 

According to CoinGecko data, Sei Network’s blockchain, explicitly built for trading, has optimized every layer of its stack to provide infrastructure for trading apps of all types. 

Sei claims to outperform other Layer 1 blockchain, such as Solana and Aptos, by offering a native order-matching engine in Layer 1. This engine enables exchange apps built on top to scale more efficiently than ever.

One of the standout features of the protocol is its speed, with a lower bound time to the finality of 300ms, making it the fastest chain in existence. This speed is achieved by implementing the Twin Turbo consensus, consisting of intelligent block propagation and optimistic block processing. According to CoinGecko, these innovations reduce the time required to achieve consensus securely and reliably.

Moreover, Sei’s market-based parallelization sets it apart by offering a specialized kind of parallelization that differs from other leading blockchains. Additionally, Sei implements order batching to prevent frontrunning, enhancing the fairness and efficiency of its trading ecosystem.

On the other hand, the Sei blockchain, launched on August 16, has amassed a market cap exceeding $380 million and a 24-hour trading volume surpassing $1 billion. Notably, the blockchain has witnessed a surge in new user registrations, with over 40,000 new users joining in the past two days. 

This influx of new users has further propelled the token’s market cap and trading volume, underscoring the growing interest in the Sei blockchain.
