Sei’s EVM implementation is optimized for performance and fully compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem. Three subsystems work together to address traditional performance constraints and deliver high speed.

Understand the Sei ecosystem

Fundamentals

Account system

Understand native and EVM addresses, keys, and account abstraction.

Token standards

See what ERC20, ERC721, and the native Sei token can do.

Gas and fees

Learn how transaction costs are calculated and paid on Sei.

Wallets

Explore supported wallets and integration options for Sei.

Network

Staking and delegation

Secure the network and earn rewards through staking.

Network governance

Understand the on-chain proposal and voting process for upgrades.

Chains

Connect to Sei Mainnet, Sei Testnet, and development environments.

Block explorers

Track transactions, blocks, and contract activity on Sei.

MCP Server: AI-powered blockchain

The Sei Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor interact with Sei through natural language. You can execute transactions, query data, and build on Sei with conversational AI.

Wallet integration

Check balances, transfer tokens, and manage accounts through AI.

Smart contracts

Read and write contract state with natural-language commands.

Blockchain data

Query blocks, transactions, and network state instantly.

Token operations

Transfer SEI, ERC20 tokens, NFTs, and multi-tokens.

Sei EVM platform details

Traditional EVM constraints solved by Sei

Block time limitations

Replaces Ethereum’s 12-second block time with sub-second finality.

Sequential processing

Removes single-threaded bottlenecks with parallelization.

Inefficient state access

Optimizes state reads and writes with SeiDB.

Core system architecture

Twin Turbo Consensus

  • Sub-second blocks

Parallelization engine

  • Multi-core execution
  • Transaction classification

SeiDB

  • Optimized state access
  • Concurrent operations

Performance advantages

High throughput

  • 100 MGas/s capacity
  • Sub-second block times
  • Immediate transaction inclusion

Linear scaling

  • Uses multiple cores
  • Hardware-optimized
  • Efficient resource usage

EVM compatibility

  • 100% Ethereum-compatible
  • Full tooling support
  • Existing code runs without changes

Sei Giga: the next-generation architecture

Sei Giga is designed to be the first Multi-Proposer EVM Layer 1. It will be the next generation of the Sei protocol after the Giga Upgrade. It will arrive as in-place upgrades to the live network. Every validator will propose at the same time. Consensus will finalize only the transaction order. Execution will run asynchronously. On an internal devnet, this architecture sustained more than 5 gigagas per second with ordering finality under 250 ms. Separately, the roadmap target for the Autobahn public testnet is 200,000 TPS.

Autobahn consensus

Multi-Proposer BFT: per-validator lanes, an effective steady-state cadence of one cut per 1.5 round trips, and sub-250 ms measured ordering finality.

Async execution

Consensus will fix the ordering. Execution and state attestation will follow, off the critical path.

Parallel execution

Block-STM-style optimistic concurrency across all CPU cores.
Disclaimer: The roadmap is subject to change based on development progress, market feedback, and other factors. Actual timelines, figures, and outcomes may vary.

Sei Giga in depth

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 dApps

Responsive interfaces with shorter confirmation times.

Content and social platforms

Efficient interaction for high-volume dApps.
