Sei’s airdrop was a one-of-a-kind event that encompassed every corner of the Web3 universe.
This is a true “cross-chain” airdrop, recognizing pioneer users from many ecosystems.
In 2023, most mainstream blockchain users will likely be whitelisted and eligible to participate.
Check whether you are eligible and participate in the cross-chain airdrop here: https://app.sei.io/
The airdrop is now open for redemption.
Build background
Sei is an open source, permissionless Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for the basic use case of blockchain: the exchange of digital assets. As digital assets—from NFTs and games to DeFi—continue to grow, so does the need for high-performance blockchains. In response to this demand, Sei is focused on becoming the ideal infrastructure for high-performance, top-tier user experience DApps in Web3.
Based on this, Sei is optimized in terms of speed, performance, and technological innovation. It has the fastest final block confirmation time of any blockchain, the potential throughput may even be higher than the theoretical maximum of any Rollup on Ethereum, and it uses cutting-edge technology with low latency. These include novel mechanisms for parallel processing, instant block finality, and efficient block propagation processing.
Going one step further, Sei provides the infrastructure that enables anyone with internet access to interact with Web3 applications at super-fast speeds, almost in the blink of an eye. Therefore, Sei not only helps improve efficiency, but also unlocks a whole new category of Web3 applications.

How Airdrops Work
In order to participate, whitelisted users must bridge eligible assets to Sei.
The Sei Foundation works closely with ecosystem partners to identify active users on the following blockchains:
- Solana
- Ethereum
- Decision
- Polygon
- Binance Smart Chain
- Osmosis
Users on these chains participate in most of the activity on blockchains today.
Users who are active on any of these chains may be eligible to participate in 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 and keep your seed phrase. If you have already installed these wallets on the Atlantic-2 testnet, make sure you install and connect 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 themed frontend to maintain continuity of experience, but the underlying bridge protocol is completely independent of the Sei Foundation. The Sei Foundation has no influence on the Wormhole and Axelar protocols. You can learn more about their technology and how to implement the bridge with Sei here:
Eligible tokens include:
- Wormhole: Ethereum: USDC, ETH, WBTC
- Arbitration: USDC.e (arbUSDC)

- BNB：USDT (bnbUSDT)
IBC (Osmosis only):
- ATOM
- OSMO

- BNB chain: axlUSDC
common problem
1. My cross-chain transaction is pending, how do I know if there is a problem?
- Cross-chain transactions are handled entirely by Wormhole or Axelar, depending on the specific asset. You can visit the Wormhole Discord or visit 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 way the Wormhole and Axelar bridge protocols operate and does not reflect Sei's finality times or performance.
- For example, when assets are transferred from the original chain (in this case, Ethereum), they are being processed through the bridge protocol (in this case, Wormhole).
2. Are there any restrictions on transferring assets into or out of Sei?
- Any limitations are derived from the parameters set by Wormhole and Axelar. The Sei Foundation has no control or say in this process.
- It is standard procedure for Wormhole to launch on new blockchains with default daily and large transaction limits, which will apply to bridges in and out of Sei - please be aware of this, and note that these limits will increase over time.
- Axelar also has restrictions on bridging axlUSDC to or from Sei, with a limit of $3 million every 6 hours.
3. How many airdrops can I claim?
Participants can claim at most one airdrop per external whitelisted address associated with a Sei wallet.
4. Once I claim an airdrop, can I try again using the same Sei wallet/external chain wallet?
cannot.
5. Do I need to share my private key to link my wallet?
No. Your private keys are never shared or revealed during this process.
6. I participated in Sei’s Atlantic Testnet and/or Ambassador Program, where can I find my rewards?
Please refer to Sei Atlantic Rewards to find out more information.
