【Blockchain Rhythm】Sei Development Foundation announces a major partnership — teaming up with the Kingdom of Bhutan’s primary sovereign wealth fund Druk Holding and Investments Ltd (DHI) to deploy and operate Sei validation nodes in Bhutan. This project is led by DHI’s InnoTech division and is expected to officially launch in the first quarter of 2026.

The significance of this partnership goes beyond the technical level. For Bhutan, it marks a substantial step forward in blockchain infrastructure development, while also opening new possibilities for data monetization, scientific research, and fintech innovation. More interestingly, it creates conditions for asset tokenization and economic incentive mechanism experiments. From Bhutan’s perspective, this is also an important part of its digital transformation strategy.

Interestingly, this project is also supported by Sapien Capital, an investment firm focused on accelerating scientific and innovative development on the Sei chain. It is evident that Sei chain has made breakthroughs in seeking more national-level infrastructure deployment collaborations.

Buy the dip again, even in Bhutan you have to queue. It won't launch until 2026, will Sei still be alive by then...

Bhutan's move is quite clever; even sovereign funds are entering the market. It seems that blockchain infrastructure is really becoming a matter of national policy level.

Bhutan setting up validation nodes? This small country suddenly getting so competitive, are they genuinely planning or just riding the hype?

Bhutan is setting up blockchain validation nodes? This small country really dares to do it. It won't start until 2026. Let's see if it can survive until then.

Bhutan has really started to get serious; the sovereign fund is directly involved in validating nodes. This pace is a bit fast.

Bhutan is also starting to play Sei? How desperate is that, even sovereign funds are involved... By the way, it won't launch until 2026, which is a bit of a long timeline. Will Sei still be around then? Haha

Bhutan is also starting to run validation nodes, and now sovereign funds can't stay still anymore.
