Sei will partner with Xiaomi to pre-install Web3 payment applications on new smartphones worldwide.

On December 10th, Sei Network, a Layer 1 blockchain network, officially announced a strategic partnership with Xiaomi, the world's third-largest smartphone manufacturer.

According to the announcement, the two companies will pre-install a next-generation crypto wallet and decentralized application (DApp) discovery platform powered by Sei on new Xiaomi phones sold in markets outside mainland China and the United States.

This built-in application will support stablecoin payments, peer-to-peer transfers, and seamless integration with various decentralized applications, aiming to provide users with a secure and convenient mobile digital asset management and blockchain service experience. This collaboration will further expand to Xiaomi's approximately 20,000 retail channels globally, promoting the large-scale deployment of crypto payments and blockchain applications on consumer devices.

The initial key deployment markets include Hong Kong and the European Union, with official launch expected in the second quarter of 2026. This move marks a crucial step forward for mainstream consumer electronics manufacturers and blockchain infrastructure providers in promoting the widespread adoption of Web3. Alongside the announcement of the partnership, Sei also established a $5 million "Global Mobile Innovation Fund." This fund will focus on supporting the development of blockchain applications for mobile devices, innovation in consumer tools, and the construction of related ecosystem projects, aiming to accelerate the popularization and deep integration of blockchain technology in consumer electronics.

Industry observers point out that this collaboration is not only a significant milestone in the expansion of the Sei ecosystem but also reflects the increasingly open exploration attitude of traditional tech giants in the crypto and blockchain fields.

By directly integrating crypto wallets into the massive shipments of smartphone hardware, both parties are expected to significantly lower the barrier to entry for users, bringing broader application scenarios for future digital payments, decentralized identity, and on-chain applications.

The IPO application of Guoyi Quantum Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd. on the Science and Technology Innovation Board has been accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

The company plans to raise 1.169 billion yuan, and the sponsor is Huatai United Securities.
