Some personal news: we aren't just a DEX.

Sei v6.6 has reduced p99 block time by 50%. 99% of incoming blocks now land in ~600ms. Median block time steady at ~400ms.

As of block #224 201 091, Sei v6.6 is officially live. V6.6 includes nearly 400 pull requests, including the first mainnet components of Sei Giga. This is the largest upgrade to Sei since EVM support was added in May 2024. Here are the most important takeaways: Execution and storage - The Ares Upgrade begins: the v2 executor is being retired. The Giga hybrid executor is now the default execution path on mainnet, with roughly 10x the throughput. Every upgraded node runs it. v2 stays on as a per-transaction fallback, and a full v2 node runs on every network comparing results block by block. - The Eidos Upgrade begins: state separation. Two years of chain state, unpicked one block at a time, with EVM history moving into its own database instead of sharing one with Cosmos state. This is the most error-prone part of shipping Giga, engineered to be a non-event for operators. Security - Over 30 issues fixed across DoS and resource exhaustion, P2P attack surface, and supply-chain hardening. Closer to 50 counting race conditions and upstream security backports. Node operators - Network synchrony is significantly improved. Consensus timeout parameters were retuned, with devnet showing up to 15% fewer vote misses and block proposal latency cut in half. More predictable block times, less bandwidth spent on catchup. - Two configuration footguns are gone. Both have caused validator outages in the past. Simpler values, less to get wrong. - Pruning no longer drags nodes behind the chain. It now compacts the deleted key range as soon as each prune finishes, holding prune runs at a steady ~5 minutes and head lag under 60 blocks. Builders - Receipts are backed by Giga+OCC by default: invisible txs no longer get receipts, state-transition errors that bump the nonce now do, and EIP-1559 effective gas price lands on the receipt. - JSON-RPC error handling is now spec-correct; query surfaces are bounded, with proper pagination. - Historical debug_trace sits behind a config flag, with a 10,000 block default lookback.

Two of the three major upgrades that make up Sei Giga: Eidos and Ares, have begun. This is the start of Giga on mainnet.

The Sei 6.6 proposal is live. 6.6 starts two of the biggest pieces of the Sei Giga Upgrade. Ares, execution engine rebuilt for Giga, becomes the default on mainnet. Eidos, the new storage layer, begins moving chain history into its own database.

@blade_nd @linear I just ended up switching to github issues myself 😅 It’s just a place to store my tickets until an agent grabs them, so it works for my use case

First there was Autobahn, the breakthrough protocol making Sei Giga possible. Then came Ambulance, the award-winning successor. Now, a new paper introduces builds on both to push the limits of stable low latency. Introducing Hermes: the final component of the Giga Roadmap.

Introducing SIP-5. If a quantum threat appears, every account on @SeiNetwork has a route to become quantum-secure. In parallel we’re working to find new post-quantum signature schemes that will enable even better performance.

Leader-based consensus does not have to suffer its bad leaders. Today we introduce a new protocol: Hermes. Hermes is a two-round BFT protocol at n=5f+1 in which views are never nullified or skipped, instead finalizing the heaviest common prefix of inputs.

@knowerofmarkets Kith has plain tees

I've worked with a lot of founders. The good ones are so focussed on their product that it's almost scary. That's what makes @0xturbanurban stand out. He's absolutely obsessed with making @MonacoTrading the best trading app in the world.

"Claude, explain Monaco to me" Here's what Fable said:

@MrCampbell In America we shoot threes, not throw them

At @MonacoTrading our goal was never to just build another Perp DEX or commoditized frontend on top of old infrastructure. If that had been the plan, we could have tried to copy any number of onchain exchanges, with some minor changes, and dressed it up as something novel. We could have done that quickly, and some people might have been excited and had fun for a little while. But candidly, that's less exciting, and we would not have contributed anything meaningful to individuals and institutions that want to trade. And by now it'd be a forgotten idea. We like to dream a little bigger. Our mission is simple. We want to build the best platform for traders to have global access to markets across different asset classes. That requires speed, security, frontier markets, and a transparent structure that empowers all users. We're just getting started, and we hope you'll come on this journey as we build the world's trading floor.

It's a beautiful day for bulls on Monaco markets. "How much better can it get?" trade.0xmonaco.com

@0xblindchaser Certified ✅

@FrankieIsLost I used too many tokens to lower infra spend just last week 😅

@0xturbanurban @Hedgeye Agreed 👀

This is @MonacoTrading btw

The perfect perp DEX has all these. – maker rebates at every tier, not just for whales – no legacy funding baseline taxing longs – cancels that beat fills – portfolio margin that nets correlated positions – one deep market per asset, not five fragmented ones

@Hiraweb3 @jayendra_jog This is actually why the consensus was called Autobahn originally. Like cars driving on the highway where each lane is a validator. And a “block” is just a vertical line on the highway.. all cars that have crossed that line are in the block.
