Check out our video guide!
What is Sei Network?
Sei Network is a layer-1 blockchain built with the $1, and is designed to become the preferred chain for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in DeFi, NFTs, and GameFi. The blockchain is optimized to enhance the functionality of exchanges and provide the best user experience for their customers. They achieve this by incorporating a native order matching engine that enables DEXs built on the blockchain to be on par with centralized exchanges (CEXs) in terms of executing orders. As a result, the end users can trade tokens, NFTs, and in-game items much faster and at minimal cost.
Sei Network Ecosystem
In October 2022, Sei Network launched a $50 million Ecosystem and Liquidity Fund to support the development of new applications and help teams bootstrap liquidity going into mainnet launch. The fund was backed by some of the top venture capital firms such as Multicoin Capital and Delphi Digital. As of now, there are more than 50 projects building on the ecosystem, ranging from infrastructure to fiat on/off ramps.
Who is the Team behind Sei Network?
Jeffrey Feng and Jayendra Jog are the co-founders of Sei Network, which has a team of skilled professionals with previous work experience at renowned organizations like Airbnb and Goldman Sachs. The team is now raising Series A funding at a $400 million token valuation, according to The Block.
Does Sei Network have a Token?
Yes, Sei Network is planning to launch their $SEI token. The SEI token has several features on the Sei network including paying network fees, staking, governance, used as collateral, for tipping validators and trading fees.
3% of the total SEI token supply will be allocated to the first rewards pool, known as ‘Season 1’. This means that there is a good chance that there will be an airdrop for Season 2!
How to receive season 2 $SEI Airdrop?
The best way to receive $SEI airdrop is to interact with the Seinami Incentivized Testnet. Within the testnet, there are 4 unique acts (currently closed) consisting of various tasks to complete. These tasks are designed to stress test Sei’s validator usability and security. Each completed task awards points, which directly correspond to your $SEI token rewards. Once the testnet period is finished, the token rewards will be distributed according to the tallied scores of all validators and participants. The Seinami Testnet missions in order to receive a potential airdrop can be found here. A lot of these require technical skills, e.g. to try hacking into their exchange, which might prove to be difficult.
However, Act 4 had several missions which involve growing the Sei ecosystem and simulating real-world trading. These tasks are easier to complete in order to get a Sei airdrop.
Here is a step by step guide on how to get the Sei testnet airdrop.
- Place limit order on Vortex (long or short and in any market).
- Place market order on Vortex (long or short in any market).
- Place multiple Long/Short orders in one transaction (i.e. a bundled order placement) in any market.
- Get liquidated on Vortex.
- Refer a friend to sign up for Sei.
- Get your friend to refer another on Sei.
- Note that for tasks 1-4, it is not enough to just do the task. Users must also submit their transaction details and wallet address to the team for verification. There is also a cap on how many submissions users can do in one day. Check here for full details.
- All 4 Seinami Testnet Missions are closed. However, you can still mint Sei Sunken Treasure NFTs until 23rd April 2023. To do this, go to https://seinetwork.io/treasure and connect your Keplr wallet. Then, do at least 25 transactions on the Atlantic-2 testnet. Afterwards, send gifts to other users. Finally, claim your NFT.
- If you are eligible, register 1 .sei domain name.
How to get the Sei Foundation ($SEI) season 3 airdrop
- Buy NFTs from Pallet Exchange Go to Pallet Exchange and buy 3 NFTs. Based on the season 2 airdrop, only NFTs from the top 8 collections were eligible for the airdrop. So, we suggest you only buy from the top NFT collections on Pallet Exchange such as Cappys, Seiyans, Fuckers or WeBump.
- Stake $SEI Stake 100 $SEI on: (1) Silo for iSEI; (2) Krptonite for stSEI; and (3) Sei.
- Use DragonSwap Go to DragonSwap and swap $SEI for some other tokens. Then, go to Pools, choose a pool and create a position worth at least US$100. We suggest creating a position in the iSEI/SEI pool as you would have some iSEI from step 2 above.
- Use Jellyverse Go to Jellyverse and swap $SEI to other tokens. Then, go to Pools and create a position worth at least US$100. We suggest creating a position in the fastUSD/USDC pool since it is more stable. However, you can also choose pools that have a high APR.
- Swap tokens on Yaka Finance Go to Yaka Finance and swap $SEI to other tokens.
- Supply and borrow on Yei Finance Connect to Yei Finance and click “Wrap/Unwrap SEI” on the top right hand corner. Swap SEI to WSEI tokens. Then, go to “Markets”, and supply and borrow WSEI.
- Buy memecoins Go to Dex Screener and find some Sei memecoins. Buy around US$20 each of some coins. You can consider buying Milli Coin ($MILLI), Chip$ ($CHIPS), Seiyan ($SEIYAN), Shenron ($SHENRN) or Popo the Cat ($POPO).
