According to ChainCatcher, Jay, co-founder of Sei Labs, stated that Sei Giga is about to be released, the team is working hard, and a major announcement will be made soon. The SIP-3 upgrade of the Sei network is the final technical hurdle for the Sei Giga upgrade. The goal of the SIP-3 upgrade is to eliminate Sei's dual architecture (EVM + Cosmos) and transform it into a pure EVM chain, which involves deleting hundreds of thousands of lines of code. By mid-2026, Sei will become a pure EVM chain, at which point only EVM addresses can initiate transactions. Once SIP-3 is achieved, Sei Giga will be the next target.
