Here's what often gets overlooked: low fees on SEI aren't just about being underutilized—there's real engineering behind it. The chain uses parallelized execution to handle transactions simultaneously, combines that with fast finality so blocks close quickly, and manages block space predictably. Result? Fees stay low even when throughput climbs. This architecture is exactly what you need if you're actually trying to build practical payment solutions on-chain. The numbers matter less than the design choices that make them sustainable.

SEI's low-cost design indeed has some merit, and the combination of parallel execution + fast finality is still quite interesting.

Hmm... parallelized execution sounds awesome, but can it really handle high traffic?

SEI's architecture is indeed impressive; parallel execution + fast finality is a powerful combination.

There's really something behind SEI's low fees—parallel execution + rapid certainty. That's the right way to go. It's much better than relying on cooling-off periods to artificially lower costs.

ngl sei's parallel execution is indeed impressive, unlike some chains that just boast low fees but are actually unused... this is the sustainable way to do it.

Running this set of things in parallel sounds good, but can it really hold up until a large number of users flood in... That's too idealistic.

Parallel execution is indeed impressive, but to be honest, most people only look at the fee numbers and rarely truly understand the underlying design... The SEI architecture has a good conceptual approach, but the ecosystem still needs to catch up.
