The Sei Foundation’s plans to unveil a major upgrade to Sei blockchain version 2 caused a 10% surge in the value of Sei (SEI) token.
This upgrade aims to introduce a high-speed, parallelized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enhancing network speed and compatibility with Ethereum contracts.
The Sei Foundation’s proposal for the V2 upgrade marks a significant milestone. Sei Labs promises sub-second transaction finality and improved user experience with the new parallelized EVM.
Pending governance approval, the upgrade is set for implementation by May 27, promising enhanced blockchain performance and compatibility with Ethereum apps like Uniswap and Frax.
Sei’s integration of EVM support, announced in November 2023, emphasizes smoother transitions for Ethereum-based contracts. Using Geth for V2, Sei aims for seamless integration and improved scalability with SeiDB, a new data structure.
SEI’s market cap rose to $1,703,079,430, with trading volume increasing significantly by 169,977,799 shares to 163.11%; it is currently trading at $0.5835, reflecting a 10.51% surge from its low point.
This bullish trend showcases market optimism regarding Sei’s upgraded functionalities, setting a positive outlook for its future performance.
