Sei Labs has announced its proposal to shift the Sei blockchain to an EVM-only architecture, part of their ambitious 'Giga' strategy.
Sei's Goals for EVM Transition
Sei Labs presented SIP-3 on May 8, 2025, proposing an exclusive focus on EVM to optimize network functionality. Simplifying architecture aims to enhance developer experience and network performance.
Performance Increase to 250,000 Transactions Per Second
This transition is expected to boost performance to 250,000 transactions per second, attracting institutional interest, including an ETF by Canary Capital.
Sei's Strategic Direction Mirroring Ethereum
Sei's mainnet, operational since 2023, has processed billions of transactions. The 'Giga' roadmap reflects a shift akin to Ethereum's past enhancements, prioritizing scalability and performance.
Sei Labs' proposal to transition to an EVM architecture underscores its commitment to improving developer interaction and network performance, potentially fostering broader adoption of blockchain technology.
