We summarize in this contribution the capabilities, design status, and the en- abling technologies of the Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) planned to be on-board the THESEUS mission. We describe its central role in making THESEUS a powerful machine to probe the physical conditions of the early Universe (close to the reionization era) and to explore the time-domain Universe.
