Sei Dumps Cosmos for EVM-Only Future—Trading Interoperability for Ethereum’s Liquidity Pool
Sei Network just pulled the ultimate pivot—axing Cosmos SDK transactions and smart contracts to go all-in on EVM compatibility. The blockchain’s betting big on Ethereum’s ecosystem, but at what cost?
High-stakes gamble or inevitable surrender? By ditching Cosmos’ IBC protocol, Sei’s essentially swapping cross-chain flexibility for a seat at Ethereum’s overcrowded table. Traders win (cheaper gas!), but decentralization purists are already howling ’sacrilege.’
One hedge fund dev put it best: ’Another chain realizing it’s cheaper to ride ETH’s coattails than build actual utility.’ Ouch.
