How to Add Sei to an Alternative Wallet

As Sei Network isn't EVM-compatible, it is not supported on MetaMask. To store its native token and use applications on the Sei Network SDK, you will need to use an alternative wallet like Keplr. Keplr is a top choice for Sei Network and is the most popular wallet for all Cosmos SDK-enabled chains.

Here is a simple 4-step guide to get started with a Sei Wallet:

  1. Visit the Keplr website and select 'Install Keplr'.
  2. Select the device you want to install the wallet on (Chrome, Firefox, iOS or Android).
  3. Complete the onboarding process and save your seed phrase offline.
  4. Select the Sei Network and you will be connected!

What is Sei?

Sei is a cutting-edge, open-source Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for trading, providing an optimal infrastructure for a variety of trading apps. As the fastest blockchain available, Sei leverages innovative consensus mechanisms and technical advancements.

Sei aims to be the go-to platform for all on-chain trading apps, spanning DeFi, NFT marketplaces, and GameFi. Trading apps currently struggle with scalability on existing Layer 1 solutions, facing the Exchange Trilemma of balancing decentralization, scalability, and capital efficiency.

Bottom Line

In summary, since Sei Network is based on the Cosmos SDK and not EVM-compatible, it cannot be integrated with MetaMask. Users should opt for alternatives like Keplr or hardware wallets (Ledger Nano S, Ledger Nano X, Trezor Model T) that are compatible with the network and its Go Programming Language.

As an advanced Layer 1 blockchain, Sei Network focuses on trading, offering an optimized infrastructure for diverse trading apps. With its distinctive features, Sei Network aspires to be the leading platform for on-chain trading in DeFi, NFT marketplaces, and GameFi, overcoming the scalability and Exchange Trilemma issues encountered by existing Layer 1 solutions.
