In a new interview with cryptocurrency YouTuber Anthony Pompliano, Sei Labs co- founder Jay Jog highlighted what makes Sei’s layer-1 blockchain unique compared to its competitors.  According to the founder , Sei’s EVM Parallelisation sets it apart from other layer-1 networks.

Matt Huang claimed that he had been under the impression that Alameda Research was not receiving any special treatment from FTX.

FTX’s board reportedly consisted of only three individuals: Bankman-Fried himself, an...
