Last week we co-hosted All Protocol Devs with @christine_dkim in our nyc office. Core devs and researchers from every major chain were invited to hang out and discuss how defi has grown up & transaction censorship in the wake of recent hacks. Thanks to everyone who came through https://twitter.com/Sei_Labs/status/2046656482104786960/photo/1

The Sei protocol was upgraded to v6.4 this week. It included the mechanism that allows the transfer of IBC assets to be disabled. Wallets holding these assets may have received airdrops with a reminder to bridge or swap before the Sei protocol becomes EVM-only.

The latest from the Sei Research Initiative is a look at MPP, Lightning Network, and the tradeoffs required to scale agentic commerce. On Lightning Network, capital efficiency drove the network to a hub topology. Hubs solved a lot of problems, but also created new ones. Hub… https://twitter.com/Sei_Labs/status/2044817096228663500/photo/1

Sei v6.4 is live on mainnet. Here's what it means for the SIP-3 transition: v6.4 adds the ability to disable inbound IBC transfers on Sei. IBC is Cosmos' interop protocol. Once activated via governance, users will no longer be able to bridge CosmWasm assets onto Sei. This… https://twitter.com/Sei_Labs/status/2043733269351674327/photo/1

In many multi proposer chains, a cartel that controls enough lanes can extract MEV from users. That was previously thought as the price of high throughput. Giga will use Sedna to prevent this https://twitter.com/Sei_Labs/status/2041605349967589835/photo/1

In multi proposer chains like Giga, a cartel that controls enough lanes can extract MEV from them. That's the price of high throughput. Today, most multi proposer chains handle this at the cost of good throughput. Giga will use Sedna https://twitter.com/Sei_Labs/status/2041593938461815217/photo/1

We rebuilt https://seilabs.io/ to show what we're working on: from Giga to the projects we've been incubating We'll have a lot more going live in the coming months If you like solving hard problems, check the open roles https://twitter.com/Sei_Labs/status/2036817944274247804/video/1

The typical mode for faster finality is to weaken the fault model. 5f+1 drops Byzantine tolerance from 33% to 20%. Ethereum's FCR adds a synchrony requirement. And rollup preconfs rely on a single sequencer. Giga preserves the fault model and redesigns everything else https://twitter.com/Sei_Labs/status/2034656395400990996/photo/1

Ethereum has never been fully asynchronous. But nothing consequential ever depended on a 13-second window before. The Fast Confirmation Rule changes that. FCR commits in ~13s but requires synchrony. Now there's an incentive to induce exactly the attack FCR assumes won't happen https://twitter.com/Sei_Labs/status/2033995265041125570/photo/1

Storage for @SeiNetwork has been redesigned for Giga. ReceiptDB will replace PebbleDB, which uses Parquet style storage for writes and DuckDB for reads. Faster writes and much faster reads means less waiting on history, quicker backfills, and more headroom for apps under load. https://twitter.com/Sei_Labs/status/2031372034073305117/photo/1
