Here’s what you need to know about the assets:

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is a cloud-based computing platform for Web3 and decentralized applications (dApps). The protocol’s community-operated cloud infrastructure and novel sharding architecture allow developers to create interoperable and scalable applications. NEAR is the native token of the platform which is used to pay for network transaction fees and earn rewards for helping secure the protocol via staking.

Sei Network (SEI) is a Layer 1 blockchain developed on Cosmos that aims to provide a next-generation DeFi infrastructure. Utilizing Centralized Order Books (CLOB), Sei Network facilitates dApp integration and access to liquidity within the Cosmos ecosystem. SEI validators can choose to accept other Comos ecosystem approved tokens for gas payment based on network governance. The SEI token allows users to pay for gas fees and also functions as the protocol’s governance token.
