The upgrade will allow developers to onboard and use Ether-based contracts on the platform. Sei version 2 will use Geth to implement the EVM.

Besides the Ethereum Virtual Machine support, the Sei upgrade introduces the data structure SeiDB to enhance the blockchain’s storage layer. SeiDB aims to boost the platform’s scalability and performance.
The Sei version 2 upgrade is under auditing to ensure security. The team scheduled its release on the public testnet for 2024 Q1 and the mainnet launch in the year’s first half.
