Sei launches live Eidos storage migration on mainnet to support 200,000 TPS scaling target.
Tech & Launches ·
Sei has initiated a live migration of its storage layer on mainnet through an Eidos upgrade, designed to enable the network's roadmap toward 200,000 transactions per second. The migration allows the blockchain to swap out its underlying database infrastructure without halting operations—a feat required to support the performance targets of its Giga initiative.
The upgrade represents a shift in how Sei manages state as it pursues higher throughput on its EVM-compatible architecture. Sei's parallelized execution model already processes non-conflicting transactions concurrently to reduce latency; the storage layer change addresses a separate bottleneck in how data is persisted and retrieved during that concurrent processing.
The specific technical scope and timeline for reaching the 200,000 TPS target remain unclear from available announcements. No completion date or measurable progress metrics toward the full throughput goal have been disclosed.
