I used to bring newcomers into the space, and the most common mistake isn't not knowing how to buy coins, but a single sentence:

“I’ve already funded my account, why is it still so complicated?”
Getting a newcomer to complete a “normal operation” is actually like a level in a game:
Money comes out of the exchange, and you need to find a reliable “bodyguard” to watch over it (security)
Entering the market requires enough funds, liquidity that can be moved (capital)
At each step, you need to check the price, slippage, fees, and deposit time (data)
You also need an entry point: wallets, fiat channels, trading platforms, custody services (integration)
Sometimes, new methods are needed: automation, risk control, structured products, compliant products (innovation)
And the most critical: slow chains, slow confirmations, a small hiccup can cause a big explosion (high-performance rails)
So you see, the market isn’t just “having coins,” it’s about whether the “system can run smoothly as a whole.”
This is what @SeiNetwork calls the Market Infrastructure Grid:
It’s not just a pie-in-the-sky claim that “our ecosystem is strong,” but providing enterprises/institutions with a “connection diagram”
Think of Sei as a modern shopping mall, and the Grid is the control panel for the mall’s six major systems:
1) Security: guards + monitoring + anti-theft doors
2) Capital: liquidity pools + lending + market making + clearing
3) Data: prices, risks, transactions, reports—these “operational data”
4) Access: entry channels (wallets, custody, trading endpoints, distribution)
5) Innovation: new business modules (new products, new protocols, new services)
6) High-performance rails: elevators/escalators/channels—no lag even with many people or lots of money
Why do companies like this? Because their biggest concern isn’t technology, but “uncertainty”:
“After I go on-chain, who guarantees security? Where does the money come from? How do users access? How to verify data? How to expand the business?”
The Grid puts all these questions on one diagram:
You know from day one how to plug in and connect, without building an entire supply chain from scratch.
And then it starts to turn on its own
More enterprises → stronger security systems → deeper funds → smoother access → more comprehensive data → more new products → attracting even more companies.
This is what @SeiNetwork calls the enterprise adoption flywheel.
