### **$Sei Showcase**

*Highlighting some of the biggest announcements from Sei.*

**💨 What’s happening:** $Sei network hit an all-time high in TVL at $610.24 million, up 193% on the year on June 27. It also recorded its largest single-day trading volume of $94.27 million on June 24, [DefiLlama](https://defillama.com/chain/sei?stables=false&tvl=true&dexs=true&inflows=false) data shows.

**💨 Why it matters:** These milestones underscore $Sei’s growing prominence as a DeFi and trading hub for onchain activity. The network utilizes trading-centric features, such as its parallelized execution engine to process multiple transactions simultaneously. In turn, it eliminates bottlenecks associated with sequential processing in traditional blockchains. This means it ensures consistent, reliable and near-instantaneous onchain activity.

There’s more than $591 million locked for DeFi purposes such as staking or lending on $Sei, through apps like Yei Finance, Takara Lend, DragonSwap and SiloStake. Similarly, $Sei’s daily DEX volume milestone demonstrates its ability to facilitate high-frequency trading without compromising efficiency. These metrics underscore $Sei’s ability to aggregate liquidity, enable cost-effective trades and provide deep market liquidity pools for traders.

Collectively, the growth in $Sei’s TVL and DEX volume highlights its efficiency in supporting scalable DeFi applications. By leveraging its high-speed infrastructure, $Sei continues to attract capital and facilitate robust trading activity, solidifying its position as a competitive Layer 1 blockchain in the DeFi landscape.

**💨 The bigger picture:** Traditionally, users and developers pick and choose networks and applications based on the utility, liquidity, accessibility and attention. These reasons, alongside the recent proposal to support EVM compatibility, could be why $Sei has seen a surge in user activity.

If these numbers continue on an upward trend, more users and developers may turn to $Sei for their DeFi and onchain trading needs. As $Sei evolves and continues to be a high-speed blockchain and attracts institutional capital, it can play a crucial role in bringing the world onchain in an abstracted way.
