SEI网络下降宇宙支持以专注于以太坊优势

为了简化其区块链操作的大胆举动，SEI网络提出了对Cosmos的支持，而支持专门关注以太坊兼容性。

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，快速增长的区块链SEI网络的创始人正在提议对宇宙的支持下降，而支持专注于以太坊兼容性。

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实验室的工程主管菲利普·苏（Philip Su）提出的该提案旨在简化区块链的架构，减少基础架构开销，并将SEI定位为以太坊生态系统中更强大的参与者。

“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在提案中说：“这种过渡将导致更大的采用，改善开发人员的经验以及更加凝聚力的社区。”该决定还强调了区块链平台之间的加强竞争，以吸引开发人员并扩大其生态系统。

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.

尽管以太坊已成为分散金融（DEFI）的主要力量，但其基础设施却基于以太坊虚拟机（EVM）。 Coinbase的基础和Binance的BNB链等主要区块链也依赖EVM，使其成为开发人员的首选选择。相比之下，Cosmos使用其自己的软件Cosmwasm运行，这种软件的采用率较慢。

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的原始设计包括对EVM和COSMWASM的双重支持，旨在提供灵活性。但是，根据SU的说法，这种双重体系结构创建了“在代码库中不必要的开销和复杂的调试和测试”。

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

SEI实验室的数据表明，新用户绝大多数更喜欢EVM而不是宇宙，这进一步证明了拟议的班次是合理的。

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.

如果该提案获得批准，则可能会对宇宙的采用造成打击。但是，链实验室的联合首席执行官巴里·普伦凯特（Barry Plunkett）指出，SEI仍然保留了一些宇宙特征，例如占有和治理。 Plunkett补充说：“即使SEI削减了宇宙的支持，它仍然是基于宇宙的区块链。”

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年推出以来的增长一直很迅速。根据Defillama的数据，该网络上的Defi应用程序中的总存款最近达到了10亿美元的历史最高点，使其成为锁定总价值的第15大区块链。

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于2024年7月引入EVM支持后，这种增长加速了，吸引了更多的开发商和投资者。此举还导致了机构之间对区块链的兴趣激增，如今年早些时候的连锁风险投资所报道的那样。

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.

放弃宇宙支持的提议引发了SEI社区中的辩论。一些成员将其视为增强可用性和采用的必要步骤，而另一些成员则关心潜在的灵活性丧失。

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.

为了解决这些问题，非营利性SEI基金会将于5月14日举办社区电话，以详细讨论该提案，并收集开发人员和用户的反馈。

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.

这一决定的结果可能为其他区块链带来了一个先例，该区块链在灵活性和简单性之间导致了权衡。随着区块链空间的不断发展，SEI对以太坊的枢纽可能是战略适应的案例研究。
