Sei Network plans to launch the Giga upgrade in Q1 2026, marking a significant architectural overhaul. The upgrade introduces the Autobahn consensus protocol, an asynchronous execution model, and a brand-new EVM client design, aiming for a throughput of 5 Giga gas per second, approximately 200,000-250,000 TPS, with response latency controlled below sub-second levels (currently around 400ms).

The performance improvements are quite substantial—achieving a 50x increase in throughput and about a 15x boost in TPS. These figures represent a fundamental breakthrough in network infrastructure, with a redesign of the execution model and consensus mechanism at the architectural level, breaking through the performance bottlenecks of traditional EVMs. For Web3 applications that demand high concurrency transactions, such infrastructure advancements often unlock new application scenarios and user experience possibilities.

250,000 TPS? Honestly, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Let's wait until 2026 and see. Wait, Autobahn consensus? How did they come up with that name haha. A 50x performance boost sounds impressive, but will the Gas fees also decrease accordingly? That's the key. Even if the technology is excellent, a poor user experience is pointless. Hopefully, it's not just on paper. If it can truly reach this speed, the cost of deploying contracts could be cut by more than half, right? Suddenly remembered that some chain also made similar claims last time. What happened afterward? If this really becomes a game-changer, the key is whether it can be practically implemented. The architecture improvements mentioned in 2023, and only now in 2026 are they being implemented? Is the timeline reliable? Is sub-second response latency not enough, and do they have to push it to the limit? Will EVM compatibility be compromised due to these changes?

50x throughput? If that's true, it should have been launched long ago, just worried it might be another PPT coin. --- Wait, reducing latency from 400ms to sub-millisecond? Now that's the selling point. --- Sei is making big moves again, let's see if Giga can deliver on its promises. --- Listening to 200,000-250,000 TPS sounds impressive, but whether you trust it is another matter. --- Is this really going to break the EVM bottleneck or just another fundraising story? --- Rebuilding architecture + new consensus protocol, at least the direction is right. --- Why does it feel like all L1s are competing in TPS? How many can actually be used? --- 5 Giga gas with millisecond response times, if true, will explode the Web3 transaction experience. --- Another Rollup dream? Can Sei stick to it until Q1 2026? --- The surge in throughput is a good thing, but can the ecosystem keep up?

A 50x throughput increase sounds great, but the real test will be how things go in 2026. Don't make false promises again, okay? --- Autobahn Protocol? The name sounds pretty bold. Hopefully, the performance can be as fierce as the name suggests. --- I've seen the figure of 20-25K TPS too many times. I’d be surprised if I believe it. --- Asynchronous execution model + new EVM client. It looks like a serious architectural overhaul, which I find quite interesting. --- Sub-second latency is a real necessity for DeFi transactions. It all depends on whether they can stay stable and avoid chain drops. --- Another "fundamental breakthrough" and "unlocking new scenarios." I'm tired of hearing this kind of rhetoric... --- 50x performance boost? Then what about Sei's current users? Why is it still so quiet? --- Giga is a hardcore name. I'm just worried it might turn into Mega later on. --- If it really can reach this speed, the ecosystem applications should also explode. --- A 15x TPS increase is okay, but the key is whether Gas fees will really become cheaper. --- Let's see how things look next year. For now, promises don't count.

20-25万TPS？ Damn, those numbers are a bit outrageous. If it can really run, it would be incredible. --- Autobahn consensus + asynchronous execution sounds impressive, just not sure how it will perform in practice. --- 50x throughput increase. If it truly stabilizes, that will be the next big narrative. --- Sub-millisecond latency? Faster than now by a thousand times? I'm a bit skeptical, ngl. --- Another performance monster is coming. Let's see how long it can last. --- We'll see once it's actually launched. Anyone can boast about paper data. --- If this can be achieved, Sei will take off directly. --- 15x TPS improvement sounds good, but can the gas fees also decrease accordingly? --- Architectural-level optimizations are generally more reliable than small fixes. Looking forward to it. --- Just want to know if this will be another PPT promise.

50x leap? This data sounds incredible, can it really be achieved? --- Giga upgrade sounds powerful, but I don't know if it can be delivered on time... --- 20-25k TPS? If they can really maintain this speed, Sei might be about to shake things up --- Another architectural innovation, another breakthrough in bottlenecks. Sounds good, but let's wait until it goes live before bragging --- Autobahn consensus? Never heard of it. Can this thing be reliable? --- Sub-millisecond latency? What kind of crazy infrastructure would it take to support that... --- A 15x increase in TPS isn't a big deal; the key is stable operation --- First quarter of 2026, still two years to go. Who will remember then? --- Throughput skyrockets, but if the ecosystem can't keep up, it's all for nothing --- They talk so big, but it might just be another PPT product

50x leap? Alright, I’ll believe it first, but I’ll only believe Sei doesn’t crash this time. --- 250,000 TPS sounds really exaggerated, but I’m worried it might be another PPT revolution. --- Is the Autobahn protocol reliable? It feels like every time they say it’s a breakthrough in architecture, but what’s the result? --- Sub-second latency is impressive. If they can really stabilize it, the DEX experience might take another step up. --- Wait, Q1 2026? I guess I’ll have to survive until then, haha. --- A 15x increase in TPS, but will the gas fees also decrease accordingly? Otherwise, high concurrency is pointless. --- Sei is trying new tricks again, but honestly, this time the data doesn’t seem as hyped as before. --- The real test is whether it can sustain this performance after the mainnet launches. Running on testnet is one thing. --- Asynchronous execution model plus Autobahn, this tech stack sounds okay, but is it really that difficult to implement? --- 50x throughput or so, just listen to it. The key is whether the ecosystem can keep up.

50x throughput? Bro, these numbers are a bit exaggerated. Let's see if it can really be implemented. --- Wait, can it really reach 250,000 TPS? If that's true, Sei will take off fiercely. --- Another big hype for 2026, wake up everyone. --- Autobahn protocol sounds awesome, but can it not be just PPT coins again? --- Reducing from 400ms to sub-second is a good improvement, provided it can run stably. --- Why is no one using Sei now if it's so powerful? The answer is probably that the time hasn't come yet. --- Talking about 50x throughput is easy, but the real issue is how to ensure decentralization and security. --- Damn, if they can really achieve this target, the entire ecosystem will have to be reshuffled.
