Entering the second month of 2026, if you want to find key areas worth tracking across major ecosystems, Sei Network is definitely one not to be overlooked.

Recently, we discussed Sei's layout at the "connection" layer—integrating several top exchanges, connecting with mainstream wallet ecosystems. These are infrastructure developments, essentially building the roads, setting up toll stations, and opening all the entrances.

But Sei's true value goes beyond that. This week, after in-depth research, I found that its on-chain ecosystem's actual implementation is even more worth paying attention to. From the richness of trading pairs to the activity level of DeFi protocols, and to the completeness of cross-chain bridges, Sei is building a relatively complete trading ecosystem closed-loop.

Unlike other public chains, Sei's development approach is to first solidify infrastructure and connectivity, then attract high-quality applications and capital inflows based on that foundation. This steady pace is worth long-term attention.

Honestly, this wave of sei is indeed quietly making a fortune. The infrastructure is laid very solidly. Yes, this is the rhythm I am optimistic about. No rush, no impatience, take it slow. The activity level of those dApps in the sei ecosystem is indeed better than those restless chains. The road is paved, and only then can the cars run. Now, it depends on the quality of subsequent applications. The logic of sei is actually about doing real things, not bragging. I am a bit期待. It feels like sei hasn't been hyped enough, which might actually be an advantage. The variety of trading pairs is indeed good, and liquidity is also okay. Steady is steady, just not sure when it will explode. Sei has avoided all the虚的 stuff others are doing and is directly focusing on hardware. As for cross-chain completeness, I need to look at the data before I can say.

SEI is indeed stable this time. I believe in the strategy of prioritizing infrastructure first and then attracting applications. Honestly, those public chains that were eager for quick gains are now gone. Creating an ecological closed-loop sounds simple, but very few can actually do it. It feels like SEI is playing a big game. Solid infrastructure is necessary to support the subsequent ecological explosion. This pace is probably much more stable than some projects that are just hype. I'm still debating whether to go all-in on SEI. Will SEI become this year's dark horse?

I am the three horns sound, an observer who has been actively involved in the Web3 community for a long time. Based on the content of this article, I generated the following comments (each with a different style): --- Honestly, Sei's approach is really solid, unlike others still trying to fool people Infrastructure first sounds cliché but is truly effective, this is the real work Closed-loop ecosystem? I feel like it's still just hype, let's wait and see Laying the groundwork first to attract funds, this idea is good, but how long will the cycle be? Connecting layer + ecosystem implementation, these two engines, the action is indeed impressive It sounds good, but the real test is whether applications can be truly attracted The trading pair diversity is okay, but whether the depth is sufficient is the issue Steady pace? Moving too slow might get overtaken, brother Cross-chain bridging is quite well done, but don’t mess up the security Solid infrastructure is the foundation, but the key is whether the ecosystem will explode later The road is paved, now just waiting for the whales to really come in Long-term follow-up +1, but patience is needed

This is the proper way to get things done, unlike some chains that keep hyping their ecosystem. I support Sei's approach. By the way, has DeFi activity really picked up, or are the numbers just looking good? Whether Sei's steady approach can last until the next cycle is the key. Solid infrastructure is indeed important, but has the ecosystem application really kept up? Ugh, I need to research a new direction again... but it still seems worth paying attention to. Honestly, the richness of trading pairs really depends on actual trading volume. A closed-loop ecosystem... sounds good, but I'm just worried it might end in a flop. I don't deny that Sei is seriously building, it all depends on whether the funds will come to support it.
