10 REASONS WHY THIS IS THE WORST CRYPTO WINTER EVER In today's newsletter, I wrote about how there are just numerous dynamics all happening at once -- from Epstein to quantum to AI to the death of crypto twitter -- clobbering the coins

Believe in $SEI 🔴

One reason the L2 scaling vision no longer works (apart from gatekeeping the word Rollup) is simply because consensus protocols got way better Modular Ethereum was an answer to consensus limits that protocols like Sei Giga solve at the base layer:

Recent ATHs in daily active wallets and activity on Sei led to more historical data, making nodes work harder. Last week's upgrade (v6.3)—now live on mainnet—delivers: - 9× faster snapshot creation and - up to 25x faster cold-starts when loading and replaying snapshots

NEW: Kraken becomes one of the first US crypto exchanges to support the Sei EVM. 🇺🇸 Deposits and withdrawals of $SEI on the Sei EVM are now live.

So far this week, Sei is seeing its highest average daily active users ever at 1.5M

Introducing SumvinOfficial — an agentic finance platform on Sei. Sumvin is designed to manage your finances within boundaries you set. The key: a portable credential that lets it act as a verified user across banks & financial services. Set the rules. Sumvin does the rest.

🔳 Ledger Enterprise now supports the Sei Network. Institutions can self-custody, stake, and access DeFi and tokenization on Sei through Ledger's unified platform—with role-based permissions and audit-ready reporting. Enterprise-grade key management meets sub-second settlement.

A necessary step in the road to Sei Giga. Past few months have seen big leaps forward in Giga implementation. Once this process concludes we’ll have a (relatively) clean slate to start rolling out some major upgrades.

this week we made the decision to bring in the first 100% AI focused role: a staffer who’ll work on automating AI processes and nothing else

Sei Labs' fee transparency proposal for Coinbase's x402 gives agents clear routing preferences based on cost. Meanwhile, stablecoin market cap on Sei has nearly doubled since November. Whether human or agent, demand flows to the fastest, cheapest settlement layer.

SEI Support is Live on Ledger Enterprise. Earlier this week, we announced that Ledger Enterprise institutional-grade infrastructure now fully supports the rapidly evolving, EVM-only Sei This brings institutional-grade security to SEI, allowing organizations to securely

the sei giga upgrade is making tremendous progress because of its complexity we want to make the implementation a lot more transparent in the coming weeks we'll share 'the giga roadmap' a detailed breakdown of the biggest blockchain upgrade since the merge

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

Giga decouples data dissemination, ordering, and execution to achieve sub-400ms finality under classical BFT. Part 2: Finality Is a Lie is a deep-dive into how chain design shapes what the word finality actually guarantees. Read more, here: read.sei.io/4sqKoH0

New from Sei Labs researchers: Block Update Digests Global state trees force every validator to update a structure that spans millions of entries, even for blocks that modify only a few thousand keys. With BUDs, validators commit only to what changed in each block. Instead of

We’re making gas a thing of the past. You can now freely swap and interact on Sei in MetaMask - we’ll pay for the gas.

🤯 $SEI just made its biggest bet in history, killing Cosmos and going EVM-only. The migration completed April 6-8. They ripped out hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Abandoned IBC. Went all-in on EVM. It's been 2 weeks. Nobody has checked if anything actually changed. So
