Sei Labs co-founder Jay revealed that the SIP-3 upgrade is the last major step before the Sei Giga rollout. The SIP-3 upgrade will eliminate Sei's dual architecture (EVM + Cosmos), transitioning to a pure EVM chain. This change involves removing hundreds of thousands of lines of code. By mid-2026, Sei will support only EVM addresses for transactions. On-chain data shows steady progress toward this goal. Altcoins to watch often include projects with clear upgrade roadmaps like Sei. The Sei Giga upgrade will follow SIP-3 as the next major phase.

PANews January 17, 2024 — Jay, co-founder of Sei Labs, posted a message stating that Sei Giga is about to be launched, and the team is working hard to make major announcements soon. The SIP-3 upgrade for the Sei network is the final technical hurdle before the Sei Giga upgrade. The goal of the SIP-3 upgrade is to eliminate Sei's dual architecture (EVM + Cosmos) and transition it to a pure EVM chain, which involves removing hundreds of thousands of lines of code. By mid-2026, Sei will become a pure EVM chain, at which point only EVM addresses will be able to initiate transactions. Once SIP-3 is implemented, Sei Giga will be the next target.
