Sei EVM Platform Details

Traditional EVM Constraints Solved by Sei

Block Time Limitations

Replaces ~15s block times with sub-second finality.

Sequential Processing

Eliminates single-threaded bottlenecks via parallelization.

Inefficient State Access

Optimizes state reads/writes with SeiDB.

  • Full tooling support
  • No code modifications needed

Sei Giga: the next-generation architecture

Designed to be the first Multi-Proposer EVM Layer 1 Sei Giga will be the next generation of the Sei protocol following the Giga Upgrade. It will arrive as in-place upgrades to the live network. Every validator will propose concurrently, consensus will finalize only the transaction order, and execution will run asynchronously. On an internal devnet this architecture sustained more than 5 gigagas per second (200,000+ TPS) with ordering finality under 250 ms.

Autobahn Consensus

Multi-Proposer BFT: per-validator lanes, 1.5 round trips, sub-250 ms ordering finality.

Async Execution

Consensus will fix ordering; execution and state attestation will follow off the critical path.

Parallel Execution

Block-STM-style optimistic concurrency across all CPU cores.

Deep Dive into Sei Giga

Architecture, roadmap and status, technical specification, and developer guidance.

Key Use Cases

High-Frequency Trading

Fast settlement, low-latency, and on-chain order books.

Interactive Applications

Responsive interfaces with reduced confirmation times.

Content & Social Platforms

Efficient interaction for high-volume applications.
