SEI網絡下降宇宙支持以專注於以太坊優勢

為了簡化其區塊鏈操作的大膽舉動，SEI網絡提出了對Cosmos的支持，而支持專門關注以太坊兼容性。

The founders of the new, fast-growing blockchain, Sei Network, are proposing dropping support for Cosmos in favor of focusing exclusively on Ethereum compatibility.

新的，快速增長的區塊鏈SEI網絡的創始人正在提議對宇宙的支持下降，而支持專注於以太坊兼容性。

The proposal, introduced by Philip Su, Engineering Lead at Sei Labs, aims to simplify the blockchain’s architecture, reduce infrastructure overhead, and position Sei as a stronger player within the Ethereum ecosystem.

SEI實驗室的工程主管菲利普·蘇（Philip Su）提出的該提案旨在簡化區塊鏈的架構，減少基礎架構開銷，並將SEI定位為以太坊生態系統中更強大的參與者。

“This transition will lead to greater adoption, improved developer experience, and a more cohesive community,” Su stated in the proposal. The decision also highlights the intensifying competition among blockchain platforms to attract developers and expand their ecosystems.

Su在提案中說：“這種過渡將導致更大的採用，改善開發人員的經驗以及更加凝聚力的社區。”該決定還強調了區塊鏈平台之間的加強競爭，以吸引開發人員並擴大其生態系統。

While Ethereum has become the dominant force in decentralized finance (DeFi), its infrastructure is based on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Major blockchains like Coinbase’s Base and Binance’s BNB Chain also rely on EVM, making it the go-to choice for developers. In contrast, Cosmos operates on its own software, CosmWasm, which has seen slower adoption.

儘管以太坊已成為分散金融（DEFI）的主要力量，但其基礎設施卻基於以太坊虛擬機（EVM）。 Coinbase的基礎和Binance的BNB鍊等主要區塊鏈也依賴EVM，使其成為開發人員的首選選擇。相比之下，Cosmos使用其自己的軟件Cosmwasm運行，這種軟件的採用率較慢。

Sei’s original design included dual support for both EVM and CosmWasm, aiming to provide flexibility. However, according to Su, this dual architecture created “unnecessary overhead in the codebase and complicated debugging and testing.”

SEI的原始設計包括對EVM和COSMWASM的雙重支持，旨在提供靈活性。但是，根據SU的說法，這種雙重體系結構創建了“在代碼庫中不必要的開銷和復雜的調試和測試”。

Data from Sei Labs shows that new users overwhelmingly prefer EVM over CosmWasm, further justifying the proposed shift.

SEI實驗室的數據表明，新用戶絕大多數更喜歡EVM而不是宇宙，這進一步證明了擬議的班次是合理的。

If the proposal is approved, it could deal a blow to CosmWasm’s adoption. But Barry Plunkett, co-CEO of Interchain Labs, pointed out that Sei would still retain some Cosmos features, such as staking and governance. “Even if Sei cuts Cosmos support, it is still a Cosmos-based blockchain,” Plunkett added.

如果該提案獲得批准，則可能會對宇宙的採用造成打擊。但是，鏈實驗室的聯合首席執行官巴里·普倫凱特（Barry Plunkett）指出，SEI仍然保留了一些宇宙特徵，例如佔有和治理。 Plunkett補充說：“即使SEI削減了宇宙的支持，它仍然是基於宇宙的區塊鏈。”

Sei's growth since its 2023 launch has been swift. Total deposits in DeFi apps on the network recently hit an all-time high of $1 billion, making it the 15th largest blockchain by total value locked, according to DefiLlama.

SEI自2023年推出以來的增長一直很迅速。根據Defillama的數據，該網絡上的Defi應用程序中的總存款最近達到了10億美元的歷史最高點，使其成為鎖定總價值的第15大區塊鏈。

This growth accelerated after Sei introduced EVM support in July 2024, which attracted a larger pool of developers and investors. The move also led to a surge in interest in the blockchain among institutions, as reported by Chain Ventures earlier this year.

SEI於2024年7月引入EVM支持後，這種增長加速了，吸引了更多的開發商和投資者。此舉還導致了機構之間對區塊鏈的興趣激增，如今年早些時候的連鎖風險投資所報導的那樣。

The proposal to drop Cosmos support has sparked debate within the Sei community. Some members view it as a necessary step to enhance usability and adoption, while others are concerned about the potential loss of flexibility.

放棄宇宙支持的提議引發了SEI社區中的辯論。一些成員將其視為增強可用性和採用的必要步驟，而另一些成員則關心潛在的靈活性喪失。

To address these concerns, the nonprofit Sei Foundation will host a community call on May 14 to discuss the proposal in detail and gather feedback from developers and users.

為了解決這些問題，非營利性SEI基金會將於5月14日舉辦社區電話，以詳細討論該提案，並收集開發人員和用戶的反饋。

The outcome of this decision could set a precedent for other blockchains navigating the trade-offs between flexibility and simplicity. As the blockchain space continues to evolve, Sei's pivot to Ethereum might serve as a case study in strategic adaptation.

這一決定的結果可能為其他區塊鏈帶來了一個先例，該區塊鏈在靈活性和簡單性之間導致了權衡。隨著區塊鏈空間的不斷發展，SEI對以太坊的樞紐可能是戰略適應的案例研究。
