If approved, the proposal will restrict Sei users to sending and receiving only Ethereum-compatible transactions. In the proposal, Philip Su, Engineering Lead at Sei Labs, said that eliminating Cosmos support will streamline the blockchain, lower infrastructure demands, and enhance Sei’s integration within the Ethereum ecosystem. “This transition will lead to greater adoption, improved developer experience, and a more cohesive community,” he said. On the other hand, Ethereum-based infrastructure, powered by the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), serves as the backbone for most decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Major blockchains, including Ethereum itself, Coinbase’s Base, and Binance-affiliated BNB Chain, also rely on the EVM. As of now, Sei blockchain supports both EVM and CosmWasm. “While this dual architecture has provided flexibility, it also introduces significant complexity and friction for both users and developers,” Su said. Earlier this year, Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial DeFi project started accumulating SEI tokens as part of its portfolio. next Disclaimer: Coinspeaker is committed to providing unbiased and transparent reporting.
