In an effort to enhance the Web3 experience and make onboarding easier for newcomers, Xion has integrated with SEI, introducing chain abstraction to the red chain. Wondering what chain abstraction is? Continue Reading.
What is Chain Abstraction?
Think of chain abstraction as a universal remote for all your devices. Imagine a remote that can control any TV brand—whether Samsung, Sony, or LG—so you don’t need a separate remote for each one because it “understands” all the TVs.
In blockchain, chain abstraction works similarly. It’s a way to make different blockchains (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Sei) communicate and interact seamlessly, so users don’t need to worry about which chain they’re using. This allows for a single tool or app that can operate across multiple blockchains behind the scenes, simplifying the experience for everyone.
Now that we know what chain abstraction is, let’s dive into Xion, especially for those new to this platform in the Sei ecosystem.
What is Xion?
According to their website, Xion is the first walletless blockchain designed for mass adoption.
Backed by Multicoin Capital, Animoca Brands, and other top VCs, Xion is building a blockchain that eliminates the complexities of crypto. Its protocol-level abstractions empower developers to create seamless Web3 applications that can bring in non-crypto users with ease.
How Does This Integration Benefit SEI?
Sei V2 already provides improved accessibility and scalability, and with Xion’s chain abstraction, cross-chain complexities are minimized. This integration brings two key benefits:
- A more user-friendly experience
- Enhanced interoperability
As multiple chains compete for users, liquidity, and developers, Xion’s integration is a timely advancement.
Note: Xion is currently in testnet, with plans to transition to mainnet soon. You can explore Xion’s testnet here.
