Sei Network Disables IBC Asset Transfers

Sei Labs announced that Sei Network has officially disabled the IBC asset transfer function following a community proposal. According to Foresight News, users holding IBC assets on the Sei Network are advised to transfer their assets cross-chain promptly, as the network plans to further disable IBC asset withdrawal in the future. Sei Labs noted that the Sei v6.4 upgrade in April included a mechanism to disable IBC asset transfers. Wallets holding these assets have previously received airdrop notifications, urging users to complete bridging or exchange operations before Sei fully transitions to an EVM-only architecture. This move indicates Sei's gradual shift away from the original Cosmos IBC ecosystem compatibility towards an EVM chain focus.
