• The Sei Foundation’s vision for 2025 emphasizes technical advancement and integration with traditional financial markets.

Sei Network has demonstrated significant expansion and stability within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector during the first half of 2025. The network’s recent performance, marked by growth in user activity and technical advancements, points to ongoing adoption and resilience despite broader market volatility.

One of the primary indicators of Sei Network’s progress is its total value locked (TVL), which reached $1.15 billion in late May 2025. This figure represents a 56.51% increase over the previous 30 days[1]. The accumulation of capital within the network signals a growing level of confidence among investors and indicates the platform’s utility for decentralized trading.

This growth trend extends beyond a single month. In the first quarter of 2025, Sei Network’s TVL rose 73.7%, up from $209.1 million in the previous quarter[2]. This continued upward trajectory suggests broader momentum for the network rather than isolated spikes.

Underlying Sei Network’s development is its technical infrastructure, designed to facilitate high throughput and reliability. The network supports up to 5 gigagas throughput, enabling more than 200,000 transactions per second, and achieves transaction finality in less than 400 milliseconds. Sei Network has also reduced its transaction failure rate to 6.4%, down from 29.7% at the start of the year[3]. These improvements address ongoing scalability challenges in DeFi and have drawn interest from both institutional and individual users seeking more stable transaction experiences.

Alongside technical improvements, Sei Network has experienced substantial user growth. In late May 2025, about 802,700 unique addresses were added within a week, bringing the network’s total to 1,682,700 unique addresses[1]. This rate of user onboarding has surpassed that of other EVM-compatible blockchains, indicating growing engagement among a range of users.

Trading volume on Sei Network’s decentralized exchanges reflects this activity. With daily DEX volume reaching $21.6 million, Sei has become a competitor among DeFi trading platforms. While it still trails established platforms such as Ethereum’s Uniswap, Sei’s recent gains suggest a narrowing gap[1].

The Sei Foundation has guided much of this expansion. The organization stated a vision for 2025 focusing on technical advancement and practical use, supported by both growing institutional adoption and a broader user base[4]. Updates such as Sei V2 and greater EVM compatibility have maintained the network’s adherence to new blockchain standards. Growth initiatives have emphasized integrating DeFi with traditional financial markets[5].

Meanwhile, Sei Network’s native token experienced a 5% price decrease in mid-May 2025, despite the network’s positive performance in core metrics[2]. This has led some analysts to question whether the token’s value reflects the network’s ongoing growth and technical achievements.

Overall, Sei Network’s increased TVL, improved transaction reliability, expanding user base, and strategic foundation initiatives position it as a stable and growing participant in the DeFi sector as of June 2025.
