SEI is undergoing a major technical upgrade, deciding to abandon the dual-chain architecture design and fully transition to an EVM-native chain. This shift means that SEI will focus on EVM ecosystem compatibility, simplify architectural complexity, and strengthen integration with the Ethereum ecosystem. This move is expected to improve development efficiency, reduce migration costs, and further attract EVM developers to the SEI ecosystem. This architectural adjustment reflects the dominant position of the EVM standard in the Web3 space and also indicates SEI's strategic shift in optimizing on-chain experience and enhancing market competitiveness.

Abandoning the dual-chain to embrace EVM, is SEI backing down or planning to win? Giving up means there's no turning back, this decision has to be pretty ruthless. Is EVM native enough to attract developers? Feels like it's not that simple. It's another story of bowing to the ETH ecosystem. SEI is really in a hurry with this pace. Why has dual-chain design become a burden? Why didn't they do it earlier? EVM compatibility has become a fierce competition, can SEI break through the bloodshed? Whether the merger direction is right or not, can the execution keep up? Honestly, EVM is still more popular.

Abandoning dual chains, rushing to align with EVM? Feels a bit like compromise. --- It's the EVM ecosystem again, this trend is really strong. --- Simplifying the architecture sounds good, but I wonder if it can retain previous users. --- Where is the promised differentiation? Is it too late to follow the EVM trend now? --- Developer costs have decreased, and the ecosystem moat has probably shrunk too. --- This decision was a bit hasty, feels like it was driven by market pressure. --- Can EVM native really become popular? Everyone is doing it. --- Switching to EVM is equivalent to giving up features, purely a helpless move. --- Low migration costs are true, but whether it's competitive or not is another story.

In other words, it's a compromise to EVM, but this is indeed more practical. --- The dual-chain architecture is a bit of a pity to give up, but EVM compatibility is really useful. --- Another project leaning towards Ethereum. When will there be something truly different? --- Lowering migration costs is good; at least the barrier for developers to get in is lower. --- EVM has become the standard, resistance is useless. --- This strategy is clever; everyone is playing in the EVM ecosystem, trying to stand out alone is pointless. --- I feel SEI was a forced choice; lack of competitiveness led to compromise. --- Without the dual-chain feature, what competitiveness does SEI have left... --- At least it's honest; much better than some projects that boast while secretly relying on EVM. --- EVM's dominance is truly unbeatable; even the most innovative things can't escape being assimilated.

Another surrender news again, EVM really wins big --- Dual-chain sounds good, but actually it's not user-friendly, still relies on Ethereum's system --- Can this move attract developers? Feels like Solana has already taken all the spotlight --- Simplified architecture? Honestly, it's still too complicated, just realized that --- Integrating Ethereum ecosystem sounds good, but can it really be competitive --- Surrendering so decisively, the previous dual-chain architecture designers must feel awkward --- EVM ecosystem indeed holds a dominant position, but is this kind of follow-the-trend approach lacking originality --- Lowering migration costs is a good thing, but why does it feel a bit late --- Another project changing direction, when will there be real innovation --- Choosing to be compatible with Ethereum, conservative but safe

Oops, SEI has given up on its特色 and fully embraced EVM. The dual-chain architecture was originally a selling point. Now they've compromised? The EVM ecosystem is attractive, but following the trend feels a bit dull. But to be fair, developers are indeed moving towards EVM, so SEI's move isn't wrong, it's realistic. Wait, could it be that they changed because they couldn't integrate?
