Each row shows whether a capability works as on standard Ethereum, behaves differently in a documented way, or is not available on Sei. Standard EVM tooling — viem, wagmi, ethers, Foundry, Hardhat — works on Sei for all rows marked **Supported**. Where Sei differs from Ethereum, the difference is noted so you can account for it in your application. ## Status Legend | Status | Meaning | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Supported | Works on Sei EVM with standard Ethereum behavior. | | Supported — differences | Available on Sei, but intentionally differs from Ethereum. See the notes. | | Sei extension | A Sei-specific capability with no standard Ethereum equivalent. | | Not supported | Not available on Sei EVM. | ## Transactions | Feature | Sei status | Notes | | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Legacy transactions (type 0) | Supported — differences | Minimum gas price is set by Sei governance parameters, not a fixed floor. [See Gas and Fees.](/evm/evm-parity/gas-and-fees) | | EIP-2930 access list transactions (type 1) | Supported | | | EIP-1559 fee market transactions (type 2) | Supported — differences | No base-fee burning. Fees go to validators rather than being burned. [See Gas and Fees.](/evm/evm-parity/gas-and-fees) | | EIP-4844 blob transactions (type 3) | Not supported | Sei runs Pectra without blob transactions. [See Transaction Types.](/evm/evm-parity/transaction-types) | | EIP-7702 set-code transactions (type 4) | Supported | | ## Account and State | Feature | Sei status | Notes | | --------------------------------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `eth_getBalance` | Supported | | | `eth_getTransactionCount` (nonce) | Supported | | | `eth_getCode` | Supported | | | `eth_getStorageAt` | Supported — differences | SSTORE cost is governance-adjustable; do not hard-code gas assumptions. [See Gas and Fees.](/evm/evm-parity/gas-and-fees) | | `eth_getProof` | Supported — differences | Returns IAVL proof data rather than Ethereum Merkle Patricia Trie proofs. Proof verification logic must account for this. [See State Proofs.](/evm/evm-parity/state-proofs) | ## Blocks and Finality | Feature | Sei status | Notes | | --------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `eth_getBlockByHash`, `eth_getBlockByNumber` | Supported | | | `eth_blockNumber` | Supported | | | Finality tags (`latest`, `safe`, `finalized`) | Supported — differences | Sei has instant finality. All three tags refer to the same commitment level. [See Finality.](/evm/evm-parity/finality) | | Pending block state | Supported — differences | Ethereum-style pending state visibility is not guaranteed. Do not rely on pending transaction ordering. [See Finality.](/evm/evm-parity/finality) | ## Logs, Filters, and Subscriptions | Feature | Sei status | Notes | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | | `eth_getLogs` | Supported | | | Filter lifecycle (`eth_newFilter`, `eth_getFilterChanges`, `eth_getFilterLogs`, `eth_uninstallFilter`) | Supported | | | WebSocket subscriptions (`eth_subscribe`) | Supported | [See WebSocket Connections.](/evm/evm-parity/websocket) | ## Execution and Simulation | Feature | Sei status | Notes | | ------------------------ | ---------- | ----- | | `eth_call` | Supported | | | `eth_estimateGas` | Supported | | | `debug_traceTransaction` | Supported | | | Block-level tracing | Supported | | ## Signing | Feature | Sei status | Notes | | --------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | EIP-155 replay protection | Supported | | | Personal sign (`personal_sign`, `eth_sign`) | Supported | Depends on the connected wallet exposing the method. [See Signing.](/evm/evm-parity/signing) | | EIP-712 typed data signing (`eth_signTypedData_v4`) | Supported | Depends on the connected wallet exposing the method. [See Signing.](/evm/evm-parity/signing) | | EIP-1271 contract signature validation | Supported | [See Signing.](/evm/evm-parity/signing) | ## Token Standards | Feature | Sei status | Notes | | -------- | ---------- | ----- | | ERC-20 | Supported | | | ERC-721 | Supported | | | ERC-1155 | Supported | | ## Account Abstraction | Feature | Sei status | Notes | | -------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | | ERC-4337 | Supported | Requires a compatible bundler. Sei EVM is ERC-4337 compatible. | ## Name Services | Feature | Sei status | Notes | | ------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ENS | Not supported | Sei does not run Ethereum mainnet ENS. Application-level name services can be deployed as contracts. | ## Sei Extensions These capabilities are Sei-specific and have no standard Ethereum equivalent. They are exposed through `@sei-js` packages layered on top of standard EVM tooling. | Feature | Notes | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Sei precompiles (staking, governance, distribution, oracle, P256, JSON, CosmWasm bridge) | EVM contracts at deterministic addresses. ABIs and contract addresses are exported from `@sei-js/precompiles` for use with any standard EVM library. | | Pointer contracts (CW20 ↔ ERC-20, CW721 ↔ ERC-721) | Bridge between CosmWasm and EVM token standards. Standard ERC interfaces work against pointer contracts. | | Native address association (EVM ↔ Cosmos address) | Links an EVM address and a Cosmos address for the same account. Required before some Sei-native flows. | | TokenFactory native token creation | Create native Sei tokens that are usable across EVM and CosmWasm without a wrapper contract. | ## Unsupported RPC Methods The following JSON-RPC methods are either not available on Sei or will return errors: ### Blob / EIP-4844 | Method | Reason | | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `eth_blobBaseFee` | Sei runs Pectra without blob transaction support. This method does not exist on Sei. | | `engine_getBlobsV1` | Blob data availability endpoints are not supported. | ### Pending State | Method | Behavior on Sei | | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `eth_getBlockByNumber("pending")` | Returns `null` or the latest committed block. Sei does not maintain an Ethereum-style pending block. | | `eth_getTransactionCount(address, "pending")` | Returns the same value as `"latest"`. Pending nonce does not differ from confirmed nonce on Sei. | | `eth_newPendingTransactionFilter` | The filter can be created but will not reliably emit pending transactions. Use `eth_newBlockFilter` or WebSocket block subscriptions instead. | | `eth_subscribe("newPendingTransactions")` | Supported at the RPC level but Sei does not guarantee Ethereum-style pending transaction visibility. Treat results as best-effort. | ### Proof Verification | Method | Behavior on Sei | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `eth_getProof` | Returns IAVL tree proofs, not Ethereum Merkle Patricia Trie proofs. The method itself works, but the proof format is incompatible with standard Ethereum MPT verifiers. [See State Proofs.](/evm/evm-parity/state-proofs) | ### Deprecated / Removed Opcodes | Method | Reason | | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `eth_accounts` | Returns an empty array on Sei RPC nodes. Use a wallet library (`eth_requestAccounts`) to get accounts from the connected user's wallet instead. |
