Sei Labs - Strategic

Sei is the fastest layer 1 blockchain uniquely optimized for DeFi. Most layer 1s fall into two extremes - with general purpose chains on one end (Solana, Ethereum, Aptos, Avalanche) and app-specific chains on the other (dYdX, Osmosis). Sei explores the middle of the extremes - not quite general purpose nor app-specific but DeFi-specific which enables the layer 1 to explore a brand new design space.
Sei Labs is comprised of three types of backgrounds: 

• Developers from Robinhood, Databricks, Airbnb, etc. with extensive expertise in orderbook design, infrastructure and the Cosmos stack
• Cosmos OGs who have navigated the ecosystem for years
• Finance and strategy members from Goldman Sachs and other market makers who bridge the gaps between DeFi and institutions
