Sei Unveils Giga Upgrade Roadmap Targeting 200,000 TPS and 400ms Finality

ME News reports that on May 29 (UTC+8), Sei released its Giga upgrade roadmap. Giga is Sei’s next-generation protocol upgrade designed to achieve higher transaction performance through a redesign of the execution client, state management, and consensus mechanism. According to the roadmap, Sei will roll out several core upgrades, including: the Ares execution client upgrade (significantly enhancing performance through pipelined execution and asynchronous processing); the Eidos state management upgrade (replacing Merkle trees with a flat key-value store and separating hot state from cold archives); Autobahn consensus (targeting 200,000 TPS and 400ms finality, with 5 Gigagas processing capacity already achieved in internal testnets); Sedna private mempool (introducing encrypted transaction propagation); and a gradual transition to an EVM-only architecture (phasing out Cosmos SDK and CosmWasm via SIP-3).
