FAQs
What is SEI?
SEI is the first parallelized EVM blockchain that combines Ethereum’s development framework with Solana’s high performance. Launched on the mainnet in August 2023, it has consistently finalized blocks at 390ms, making it the fastest layer 1 blockchain. SEI addresses the limitations of current Layer 1 blockchains by providing specialized infrastructure designed for trading applications, focusing on reliability, security, and high throughput. Key features include the Twin-Turbo consensus mechanism, which enhances block propagation and transaction ordering, and advanced parallelization techniques that optimize transaction and block processing.
What are SEI tokens?
SEI is the native token of the SEI blockchain and is used to pay network fees and allows holders to vote in governance decisions. It can also be bought, sold, and traded like other cryptocurrencies.
Do I have to pay tax on my SEI transactions?
Yes. Crypto - including SEI - is taxable. Tax varies depending on the rules where you live, but crypto is generally subject to Capital Gains Tax or Income Tax - or both! Learn more in our crypto tax guides.
How do I calculate my SEI taxes?
The easiest way to calculate your SEI taxes is with a crypto tax calculator like Koinly. With Koinly, just add your public address and it'll automatically import your transaction history and calculate your gains, losses, income, and more.
