PANews reported on May 29th that Sei released its next-generation protocol upgrade roadmap, "Giga," which plans to significantly improve transaction performance by refactoring the execution client, state management, and consensus mechanism. Core upgrades include: the Ares execution client (optimizing performance through pipelined execution and asynchronous processing); Eidos state management (replacing Merkle trees with flat key-value stores, separating hot data from cold archives); the Autobahn consensus mechanism (aiming for 200,000 TPS and 400ms finality, with the internal testnet already achieving 5 Gigagas processing capacity); the Sedna private memory pool (introducing a cryptographic transaction propagation mechanism); and the gradual phasing out of the Cosmos SDK and CosmWasm through SIP-3, moving towards a pure EVM architecture.
