The Battle of High-Performance Chains: Will SUI or SEI Win?

2026 marks a critical turning point — shifting from hype-driven to execution-driven development. Parallel EVM competition is heating up, and the differentiation between the two high-performance public chains is becoming increasingly clear.

SEI is stepping up its game. Its Giga upgrade plan is ambitious, aiming to break through the 200,000+ TPS throughput ceiling while reducing final confirmation time to below 400 milliseconds. This is not just a numbers game but a tangible upgrade in user experience.

Although SUI maintains a lead in price performance, SEI is actively building its ecosystem and attracting developers, gradually eating into market share. When performance becomes the main battleground, the chain with stronger technical indicators holds the dominant voice.

The key to winning this "speed race" may not lie in marketing volume but in real on-chain activity and developer ecosystem vitality.

SUI-1,09%

SEI0,57%

200k TPS sounds impressive, but what about on-chain activity? On-paper data alone is useless; the SUI ecosystem is actually more solid... However, SEI is indeed grabbing territory, and this wave is quite interesting.

To be honest, 200k TPS sounds very attractive, but the real key is how many applications can actually run on the chain... How is the SUI ecosystem doing now? Are there any new projects recently?

200K+ TPS sounds great, but the real question is whether on-chain real traffic can keep up. I'm more concerned about who can retain developers; leading in price is already outdated, now it's all about execution.

To be honest, while the performance data looks good, the key is real-world ecosystem applications with actual funds; otherwise, it's all on paper. That 200K TPS of SEI is useless if no one uses it...

nah, 200k tps numbers are cute until they actually hit mainnet under load... we'll see if sei's really got the cryptographic primitives to back it up or just more marketing theater tbh

200k TPS sounds great, but are there really that many real transactions? Or is it just hype again... Compared to the price, SEI is indeed undervalued, but until the ecosystem takes off, it's all just talk.
