Sei Labs Releases Sei Giga Whitepaper: The First Human-Oracle EVM Layer 1 Blockchain

New York - May 19, 2025 - Sei Labs, a major contributor to Sei Blockchain (the most powerful Layer 1 blockchain), today released the Sei Giga Whitepaper. The whitepaper outlines Sei Blockchain's path to becoming the first multi-proposer EVM Layer 1. Sei Giga leverages parallel block proposals to address scalability issues, aiming to expand EVM's capabilities through performance optimizations in data availability, consensus, execution, and storage.

By combining a high-performance consensus mechanism with a purpose-built EVM execution client, Sei Giga aims to break through the limitations of traditional blockchain networks, achieving significant improvements in transaction throughput, latency, and scalability. Key features of Sei Giga include:

· 5 Billion Gas throughput and approximately 200,000 transactions per second (TPS), optimized for scalable high-performance applications.

· Sub-400ms finality: Fast transaction confirmation, enabling low-latency, high-speed performance.

· EVM compatibility: Support for Ethereum smart contracts (Solidity, Vyper), facilitating integration with the Ethereum ecosystem.

· Autobahn consensus protocol: Adopting a multi-proposer architecture, supporting parallel block proposals, achieving a 50x throughput improvement.

· Brand-new execution client: Sei Giga does not use reth or geth but instead employs a fully purpose-built EVM client, enhancing performance and efficiency.

· Asynchronous state commitments: Sei leverages asynchronous state commitments, removing them from the critical path rather than as part of the consensus.

Co-founder of Sei Labs, Jay Jog, stated, "Sei Giga is not just another EVM chain; it is a reimagining of blockchain performance possibilities. By adopting a multi-proposer consensus and rebuilding the execution environment from scratch, we have unleashed the speed and scale required for real-world high-throughput applications while maintaining Ethereum's security and usability."

The Sei Giga upgrade introduces a completely redesigned architecture, achieving over 50x throughput, 70x block generation speed, and 40x execution efficiency while retaining the trust model of Proof-of-Stake and providing EVM compatibility. For developers, researchers, and applications seeking to meet the performance demands of modern web applications, Sei Giga is a pivotal step forward.
