# Asset Guide - SEI

## **What is SEI?**

SEI is the native token of the Sei blockchain, a high-performance Layer 1 designed for DeFi and trading. It powers gas fees, staking, and incentive mechanisms across the Sei ecosystem and is the most essential asset for interacting with the Sei network.

### Where do I get **SEI?**

You can get SEI from:

* Centralized exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, OKX.
* On-chain swaps on Sei-based DEXs (if you already have funds on Sei).
