Sei GG: The Legendary Gauntlet – A $50K Web3 Gaming Showdown
Kicking off on September 16 at 10 AM EST and running through October 7 at 10 AM EST, Sei GG: The Legendary Gauntlet is a three-week-long gaming marathon designed to spotlight top talent across five leading Web3 games built on the Sei network.
This isn't just another tournament — it's a structured, community-driven event that rewards consistent performance and encourages broad participation. With a total prize pool of $50,000, the competition is split into weekly segments, giving players multiple chances to climb the leaderboard and earn real rewards.
How the Competition Works
Each week, one of the five participating games hosts its own $10,000 prize pool. Crucially, player scores reset weekly, ensuring fresh competition every round and leveling the playing field for late entrants or improving players.
Winners are determined based on clear, game-specific performance metrics such as:
- Highest in-game score
- Most wins achieved
- Highest earnings in native tokens
- Airdrop point accumulation
This structure promotes sustained engagement and gives creators visibility while allowing players to specialize and strategize across different titles.

Creator Fund Round #4 – Fueling Innovation in Web3 Gaming
While gamers battle it out in the Gauntlet, creators have their own battlefield: innovation. The Sei Creator Fund, a $10 million initiative launched to accelerate ecosystem development, is now entering its **fourth round** with a dedicated **$250,000 matching pool**.
This round specifically targets projects that enrich the Sei gaming ecosystem through education, tooling, integration, and community development.
Who Should Apply?
The fund welcomes applications from:
- Content creators producing educational series about Sei-based games
- Developers building tools or documentation for game builders
- Community managers organizing campaigns or contests
- Streamers creating live showcases of Sei games
- Teams fostering cross-project collaborations
The goal is simple: empower those who are actively shaping how users discover, understand, and engage with Web3 gaming on Sei.
Key Focus Areas
Grants will prioritize initiatives in the following categories:
- Content Series Development: Build structured tutorials, walkthroughs, or explainer videos that demystify gameplay mechanics or development processes on Sei.
- Campaigns & Contests: Design player-driven events that boost participation and retention in existing Sei games.
- Streaming & Live Content: Host regular live streams that introduce new audiences to Sei’s gaming offerings.
- Community Collaborations: Launch joint initiatives between communities to strengthen network effects and shared growth.
These focus areas reflect Sei’s holistic vision — growth isn’t just about technology; it’s about people, stories, and experiences.
How to Apply
Applications opened on September 16 at 10 AM EST and closed on September 26 at noon EST. Interested creators were required to:
- Create a profile on the Builder platform
- Submit their proposal via Gitcoin’s Grants Stack
Clear documentation and step-by-step guides were made available to help applicants navigate both platforms successfully.
Community Voting & Fund Matching
After submission, selected projects moved into the voting phase. Starting at noon EST on September 26, the community could review proposals via Gitcoin Explorer and support their favorites through small donations.
Here’s where it gets exciting: every dollar donated by the public is matched from a central $250,000 fund managed by the SEI Foundation. This quadratic funding model amplifies grassroots support and ensures that projects with strong community backing receive proportionally greater rewards.
Selection Process
An independent Application Committee evaluates all submissions based on:
- Potential impact on the Sei gaming ecosystem
- Applicant’s track record and credibility
- Project originality and uniqueness
- Overall value and feasibility
Only those meeting rigorous standards advance to the public voting stage, maintaining quality while democratizing decision-making.
Post-Funding Commitments
Receiving a grant comes with responsibilities. Funded creators must:
- Track progress using Karma GAP, a milestone-tracking platform
- Maintain open communication by sharing updates, insights, and challenges with the Sei community
- Participate in official Sei events to present outcomes and gather feedback
These requirements ensure accountability and foster deeper integration between creators and the broader ecosystem.
Why These Initiatives Matter
Sei’s dual approach — rewarding both players and creators — reflects a mature understanding of what drives sustainable growth in Web3 gaming. Players generate excitement and prove product-market fit; creators build knowledge, tools, and communities that sustain long-term adoption.
Together, these programs form a flywheel of engagement:
Gamers play → Creators document → Communities grow → More players join → Ecosystem expands
It’s not just about short-term prizes — it’s about planting seeds for lasting innovation.
