Sei's airdrop is a unique event that covers every corner of the Web3 universe.

This is a true "cross-chain" airdrop, recognizing pioneering users from many ecosystems.

By 2023, most mainstream blockchain users may be included in a whitelist and eligible to participate.

Check here to see if you are eligible and participate in the cross-chain airdrop: https://app.sei.io/

The airdrop is now open for collection.

Background

Sei is an open-source, permissionless Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for the fundamental use case of exchanging digital assets. With the continuous growth of digital assets (from NFTs, games to DeFi), the demand for high-performance blockchains is also increasing. In response to this demand, Sei focuses on becoming the ideal infrastructure for high-performance, top-notch user experience DApps in Web3.

Based on this, Sei has optimized its speed, performance, and technological innovation. It has the fastest final block confirmation time of any blockchain, with potential throughput even higher than the theoretical maximum of any Rollup on Ethereum, and adopts cutting-edge technology with low latency. This includes novel mechanisms for parallel processing, instant block finality, and efficient block propagation handling.

Furthermore, Sei provides infrastructure that enables anyone with internet access to interact with Web3 applications at lightning-fast speeds, completing interactions almost instantly. Therefore, Sei not only helps to improve efficiency, but also unlocks a whole new category of Web3 applications.

How Airdrops Work

In order to participate, users who have been added to the whitelist must bridge eligible assets to Sei.

Sei Foundation works closely with ecological partners to identify active users on the following blockchains:

- Solana- Ethereum

- Arbitrum

- Polygon- Binance Smart Chain

- Osmosis

These on-chain users have participated in most of the activities on today's blockchain.

Any user active on these chains may be eligible for the airdrop. The first step is to create a Sei wallet. At launch, you can use Fin Wallet or Compass Wallet. If you are installing these wallets for the first time, follow the instructions and remember to keep your mnemonic phrase safe. If you have already installed these wallets on the Atlantic-2 testnet, make sure you have installed and connected to the latest version that supports the Pacific-1 mainnet.

Simply follow the instructions on the "airdrop" tab to link your existing off-chain wallet to a Sei wallet address and bridge any listed tokens on the Sei cross-chain bridge page.

The Sei Foundation provides a simple theme frontend to maintain continuity of experience, but the underlying bridging protocol is completely independent of the Sei Foundation. The Sei Foundation has no impact on the Wormhole and Axelar protocols. You can learn more about their technology and how to implement bridging with Sei here:

The tokens that meet the criteria include:

- Wormhole: Ethereum: USDC, ETH, WBTC.

- Arbitrum：USDC.e (arbUSDC)

- Polygon：USDC (maticUSDC)

- Optimism：USDC (opUSDC)

- Solana：USDC (solUSDC)

- BNB：USDT (bnbUSDT)

IBC (only for Osmosis):

- ATOM

- OSMO

Axelar：

- Ethereum: axlUSDC

- Arbitrum：axlUSDC

- Polygon：axlUSDC

- BNB Chain: axlUSDC

Common Questions

1. My cross-chain transaction is pending, how do I know if there is a problem?

- Cross-chain transactions are fully processed by Wormhole or Axelar, depending on the specific asset. You can visit Wormhole Discord or go to Axelar Support for more information. Note: When bridging from Ethereum, transactions may take up to 30 minutes to reach Sei. This delay is caused by the operation of the Wormhole and Axelar bridging protocols and does not reflect the finality or performance of Sei.

- For example, when assets are transferred from the original chain (in this example, Ethereum), they are being processed through a bridging protocol (in this case, Wormhole).

- The standard procedure for Wormhole is to launch on a new blockchain with default daily and large transaction limits, which will apply to the bridging in and out of Sei - please take note of this and be aware that these limits will increase over time.

- Axelar has restrictions on bridging axlUSDC to Sei or transferring out from Sei, with a limit of $3 million every 6 hours.
