Sei Labs has secured a distribution agreement with Xiaomi to pre-install a crypto wallet and discovery app on all Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the United States. The app will let users sign in with existing Google or Xiaomi IDs and features multiparty computation wallet security.
The rollout initially targets Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa. Users will access popular crypto applications alongside support for peer-to-peer and merchant payments through the pre-installed wallet interface.
Sei Labs co-founder Jeff Feng called the partnership a watershed moment for crypto and blockchain adoption. He stated it solves the onboarding problem for mainstream users by leveraging familiar login systems with curated access to decentralized applications.
The companies plan to enable stablecoin payments across Xiaomi's retail and online channels. Customers will purchase devices, including phones and electric vehicles, using assets like USDC, which receives support on Sei's network.
Early stablecoin payment launches target Hong Kong and the European Union by mid-2026, with broader expansion to follow. As part of the partnership strategy, Sei Labs is creating a $5 million program to fund mobile projects that bring blockchain features to consumer devices.
Sei launched in 2023 as a high-speed layer-1 blockchain built for low-cost transactions. Xiaomi manufactures smartphones, smart home devices, IoT hardware, and electric vehicles from its Beijing headquarters, founded in 2010.
Sei Labs co-founder Jay Jog said the partnership moves from a world where crypto must be found to one where it finds users. The pre-installation strategy provides direct mobile distribution across key crypto markets without requiring separate app downloads.
Other blockchain projects have previously pursued smartphone integration. Solana Mobile announced its Saga device in 2022 before shipping began in 2023, with sales surging after a BONK airdrop temporarily made the phone worth more in tokens than its retail price. Solana began shipping its second-generation Seeker phone in August 2024 after receiving over 150,000 preorders, and announced plans for a native SKR token tied to its mobile ecosystem launching in early 2026.
