    The Speed of Trust: Jeff Feng and the Rise of Sei

    TOKEN2049, Singapore: It was fascinating to catch-up with Jeff Feng is the cofounder of Sei Labs. He is one of the most ambitious forces redefining the future of blockchain infrastructure. Before venturing into Web3, Feng built his career in high finance, first as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and later as a venture investor at Coatue Management, one of New York’s most sophisticated hedge funds. That experience gave him deep insight into how trading systems and markets work at scale. Today, he brings that Wall Street precision to the blockchain world, blending traditional trading logic with the openness and speed of decentralized finance. Sei Labs, the team behind the Sei Network, isn’t just building another blockchain. They’re reengineering how decentralized trading happens. Sei is a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for high-speed trading applications — the kind of foundation decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have dreamed about but never had. It’s designed to process over 12,000 transactions per second, finalize in as little as 300 milliseconds, and do so with near-zero latency. At the heart of Sei’s innovation is what it calls Twin Turbo consensus, a mechanism that dramatically reduces block times by overlapping communication and computation steps, ensuring that data moves through the chain almost instantaneously. Combined with “market-based parallelization,” Sei simultaneously handles multiple trades and smart contract executions without congestion. This means no more waiting, no more network clogs, the kind of efficiency high-frequency traders feasted on in traditional markets, now reborn on-chain. But Sei is not just about sheer speed; it’s about specialization. By embedding an order-matching engine directly into the base layer, it allows decentralized exchanges to rival centralized exchanges in execution quality. It’s the first blockchain to truly treat trading as a first-class citizen, ensuring every swap, trade, or arbitrage opportunity has the same lightning-fast responsiveness you’d expect from Wall Street systems, only without the gatekeepers. This focus on performance and usability has already drawn over 800,000 daily active users and $600 million in total value locked (TVL). The upcoming “Sei Giga” upgrade will push that even further, boasting projected throughput of 200,000 transactions per second through its new Autobahn consensus layer. In a world where Ethereum still struggles with network fees and Solana wrestles with reliability, Sei positions itself as the sleek, turbocharged challenger built specifically for the next wave of financial dApps. So why tune into this episode? Because Jeff Feng is not just talking about software — he’s architecting the rails of a new financial internet. This is a story of speed meeting purpose, of a blockchain that doesn’t want to be everything to everyone — it just wants to be the best at what matters most: trading. If Ethereum is the city and Solana the highway, Sei is the bullet train, modern, efficient, unstoppable. This is where finance meets physics, and Jeff Feng is in the driver’s seat.

    What's the Buzz at TOKEN2049 Singapore - Thoughts from Joseph Raczynski

    Here is my take having participated and witnessed all that was Token2049 Singapore 2025. My take, it's a vivid confirmation that crypto is no longer a frontier of speculation but a foundational pillar of the next decade's financial infrastructure, known as DeFi.  The spotlight on Real World Assets (RWAs) tokenization highlighted how traditional assets are being seamlessly bridged into digital markets, unlocking unprecedented liquidity and institutional engagement.  Stablecoins took center stage as the bedrock for global payments and corporate treasuries, exemplifying maturity and regulatory alignment vital for widespread adoption. Meanwhile, a new wave of sophisticated NFT strategies emerged, shifting focus from mere collectibles to utility-driven, interoperable tokens that promise to redefine ownership and digital identity across industries.  Token2049 was more than a conference, it was a glimpse into the future where tokenization, regulated stablecoins, and innovative NFT use cases converge to shape a vibrant, inclusive digital economy.

    Beyond Cash: Stablecoins and the Future of Finance with Will Beeson

    With the GENIUS Act now passed into law, and everyone from Deutsche Bank, Apple, and Airbnb already paying attention, it's clear that stablecoins are fast becoming core infrastructure for next-gen financial markets. We will get into why stablecoins matter and what it may mean for banks, companies and you. Will Beeson, former head of tokenized asset infrastructure at Standard Chartered, believes the real battle in stablecoins isn’t about reserve composition - it’s about infrastructure: programmable platforms that can support institutional liquidity, 24/7 settlement, and seamless asset convertibility across borders.  Will previously built fully regulated banks in both the UK and US - including Allica Bank, and led the development of Standard Chartered’s tokenized asset platform.  For financial institutions, Will argues, stablecoins shouldn’t be treated as “cash”- they are startup liabilities. The real opportunity lies in building infrastructure that replaces friction-filled money movement with high-grade, compliant liquidity rails.  About Uniform Labs Uniform Labs unlocks the potential of tokenized finance by addressing its core infrastructure challenges—liquidity, settlement, and fragmentation—through a unified platform that connects onchain assets, issuers, and capital.  Our first product, the Multiliquid protocol, delivers the infrastructure required for 24/7, instant settlement of tokenized financial assets, transforming capital efficiency, reducing friction, and enabling new financial workflows across chains, jurisdictions, and asset types. Multiliquid is the liquidity layer for onchain financial markets: an open, neutral protocol that supports real-time conversion between tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and stablecoins. Our vision is for blockchain-based settlement rails to become as seamless and invisible as today’s internet protocols, powering a new era of programmable liquidity, improved access, and composable financial utility. About Multiliquid Multiliquid is the institutional liquidity layer for tokenized financial markets, a decentralized protocol enabling seamless, programmable conversion between high-quality tokenized assets (such as Treasuries and MMFs) and stablecoins. Built for capital efficiency, Multiliquid turns static tokenized RWAs into dynamic, yield-generating instruments. Institutions, fintechs, and stablecoin issuers can put their stablecoin reserves to work, earning risk-free yield and accessing instant, 24/7 liquidity when needed. The protocol delivers real-time, compliant settlement infrastructure that supports critical financial operations like capital optimization, treasury automation, programmatic reserve rebalancing, and dynamic asset allocation.  Send us a text Many more amazing technology episodes to come!
