Introducing The Giga Roadmap. The first public roadmap of the milestones leading to the Giga Upgrade. Implementing the Giga Upgrade to the live network is an extraordinarily complex engineering task. Follow every step from here to Giga: giga.seilabs.io

Last week we started talking about privacy on @SeiNetwork. This will come to Sei via a private transaction layer called Sedna. Sedna will give roughly 90% of the benefits of privacy but takes 0.01% or less of the work a full ZK layer would take. Privacy is relevant in two domains: pre-execution and post-execution. Pre-execution privacy means simply that a transaction is private up until the point of finality, where it can't be reverted. This is the domain where privacy matters most. By having transactions public pre-execution, users are exposed to a whole world of risk that makes using a blockchain unfavorable. In some ways this is the original sin of of crypto. All MEV stems from this. Public transactions can be frontrun, backrun or sandwich attacked by other users. They can also be reordered or outright excluded by validators. This happens on layer 1 blockchains all the time and largely the space has come to accept it. I don't, and I believe the space has set itself back by years in accepting the rampant levels of MEV we see today. Financial transactions need to be predictable. For retail and institutions to use blockchains, those chains need to be predictable. With Sedna, Giga will have this. Presently @Sei_Labs is finalizing v2 of the Giga whitepaper, which explains the interaction between Giga and Sedna, and more.

A blockchain for trading needs privacy. That's the problem Sedna is built to solve. More from @TokenRelations on privacy, coming to Sei:

Here's the current roadmap for when we should start to see privacy on @SeiNetwork: 1. Ship upgrades to execution and storage (Ares and Eidos upgrades) 2. Ship consensus upgrade (Autobahn mainnet) 3. Ship the Sedna Upgrade 4. Ship further consensus upgrades

Yes, this is the start of privacy on @SeiNetwork.

Both Sei and Solana are pursuing upgrades to multi-proposer consensus, designed to massively increase speed and throughput. But, existing multi-proposer chains struggle with spam. On some live chains transactions can duplicate up to 100x. @Sei_Labs solves this with Sedna.

Privacy is coming to Sei. Multi-proposer consensus, like Sei Giga's Autobahn, provides massive gains in throughput and speed. The tradeoff: increased spam via duplicate transactions. Sedna, an upcoming protocol from @Sei_Labs, removes spam while bringing privacy and MEV resistance to Giga. seiresearch.io/articles/sedn…

Ethereum proved markets could live onchain. Solana made them fast. Giga will make them global and instant. 200K TPS, finality in under 400ms. Built for trading.

The modern economy is one where anything of value has a market. These are the institutions, builders, and traders powering it. Sei Giga is where they will scale it.

Stablecoin mcap at an ATH. Feather deposits nearing $60m. A yearly high for stablecoin volumes. Through any market, stablecoins keep moving on Sei.

After a week alongside the brightest in tech and finance. One thing is clear: Sei keeps coming up. Here's what you missed at @Techweek_ and more ↓ 🔴 Sei and @Mastercard gave a first look at the joint whitepaper to the crowd at NY Tech Week, ahead of the public release: x.com/SeiNetwork/status/2061… 🔴 @MonacoTrading announced a research partnership with @fhenix focused on confidential onchain trading infrastructure: x.com/MonacoTrading/status/2… 🔴 @MessariCrypto dropped their Q1 state of blockchains, highlighting 350% QoQ RWA growth on Sei: x.com/MessariCrypto/status/2… 🔴 @TokenRelations broke down the recently released Sei Giga roadmap: x.com/TokenRelations/status/… 🔴 @sumvin and Sei rang in Tech Week with friends from all corners of AI and finance: x.com/sumvin/status/20622482… 🔴 @envio_indexer published a step-by-step guide to spin up an indexer and power your app on Sei with real-time data in minutes: x.com/envio_indexer/status/2… Markets Move Faster on Sei.

200K TPS. Sei Giga is infrastructure for the modern economy.

Clovis is Giga-ready. We built for this exact moment: cross-chain liquidity, yield that stacks, designed for the fastest trading chain. Deposit Once. Earn Everywhere. x.com/SeiNetwork/status/2060…

We're excited to announce a new research collaboration with Fhenix (@fhenix) focused on confidential onchain trading infrastructure using fully homomorphic encryption. This is an early-stage research effort. We look forward to sharing what we learn.

Over 50% of U.S. equity volume now trades in dark pools or off-exchange. In TradFi, private execution is critical market structure. Onchain, it remains one of the hardest unsolved problems. Monaco and @fhenix are taking it on.

Rooftop. Sunset. The sharpest people in AI and finance, all in one place. 🌇 That's how you kick off #NYTechWeek! Real conversations. New connections. A room full of people building what's next. Huge thank you to everyone who came out, and to @seiNetwork, @techweek_ for making it happen. Stay tuned, big things ahead. 🚀

The Sei Giga upgrade will introduce a fundamentally better trading experience. From perps to RWAs to stablecoins and everything in between. Sei is the blockchain for trading.

Tonight in New York. A live discussion of the Sei x Mastercard whitepaper, with @jayendra_jog and the @Mastercard team. See you there.

Giga is no small feat. The road ahead runs from Ares to Autobahn, a sequence of major upgrades on the path to ~200K TPS. Last week, the public roadmap was revealed. This week, @TokenRelations breaks it down ↓
