Recently we’ve seen the rise of applications verticalizing into their own app-specific chains

Sei is the first sector-specific Layer 1 blockchain specialized for trading to give exchanges an unfair advantage
Today on Blockcrunch, we have Jay, Co-Founder of Sei to share with us:
Why sector-specific chains are better than app-chains/generic chains
Types of projects that benefit from Sei
Sei’s area of major innovation
