Sei wants to stop supporting Cosmos and focus only on EVM to simplify its design.
Sei has recorded strong market interest over the past three weeks, pushing the price up by 72%.
Sei blockchain [SEI] has proposed to stop supporting Cosmos and focus solely on Ethereum's EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) model.
In a post on X on May 7, this blockchain stated that the proposal aims to enhance the experience for developers and simplify the design.
"This proposal aims to enhance the developer experience, simplify infrastructure, and maximize the parallel EVM performance of Sei as the network builds towards Giga."
Sei's EVM-only plan
Sei is one of the leading blockchains in terms of throughput, thanks to its parallel transaction processing design.
Since 2024, Sei has supported both Cosmos and EVM users, allowing interoperability between applications and protocols on these two systems.
According to Philip Su, the head of the technical team at Sei Labs, the current design has caused infrastructure burdens and complex source code.
Additionally, the team has argued that EVM usage is much higher than Cosmos. According to data from Dune Analytics, at the peak in December 2024, there were 162x (324K users) using EVM compared to Cosmos (2K).

In April 2025, there were 2.5x more Sei EVM users than Cosmos. Overall, EVM users outnumber Cosmos users.
However, the community's response has been very diverse. Some support the proposal, citing low Cosmos usage. But some are concerned about how they will bridge Cosmos-based cryptocurrency assets.
A user, Wangman, calls out,
"I hope they will build bridges for those who have built on the base platform. Our entire collection is not on EVM. Will this proposal create tools for conversion? Our collection, our staking system."
However, Sei has seen an increase in investor confidence, as indicated by the rise in TVL (total value locked).
According to DeFiLlama, TVL has tripled from $160 million to $480 million from October 2024 to May 2025.

Market interest in altcoins has also improved. According to Dune Analytics, new Sei users have surged from 35K to 85K in the past three weeks.
This growth is also reflected in the prices, rising 72% from April's lows to above $0.22.
Despite the adjustment in May, buying pressure has maintained support at $0.18-$0.20. If this level is sustained, the likelihood of an extended price increase to $0.25 may occur.
