SEI · monthly unlocks keep adding supply, nothing takes it back.
SEI is the gas and staking token of Sei, a fast parallelized layer-1 — ~6.73B circulating of a fixed 10B cap, about two-thirds unlocked, with staking emission plus a recurring monthly vesting cliff.
Sell pressure. About 545M SEI over the next 90 days — ~87M of staking emission plus three monthly unlock cliffs worth ~458M.
Buy pressure. None — no buyback, no fee burn, no foundation buying to offset the new supply.
Net. About +8.1% to market over 90 days — supply heading firmly up, with nothing structural pulling it back.

New SEI is minted every block to fund staking rewards — about 87M over the next 90 days, roughly 3.9% a year — steadily pushing supply toward the fixed 10B cap.
Team, early-investor and ecosystem-reserve tokens vest on the 15th of every month — about 152M SEI each, with three cliffs in this window on Jul 15 2026, Aug 15 2026 and Sep 15 2026, releasing roughly 458M to holders.
No discretionary treasury release outside the published monthly schedule in the window — monitored. The ecosystem-reserve release lands on the same dated cliff already counted above.
No bankruptcy estate or court-ordered distribution applies to SEI.
Sei runs no protocol buyback — there is no mechanism that spends revenue to buy SEI back off the market.
Network gas fees flow to validators and application developers, not a burn address, so no SEI is destroyed by activity.
No discretionary open-market buying by the foundation announced in the window — monitored.
No new multi-year lock or escrow announced in the window — monitored.
