#SeiNetwork Moves to EVM-Only #future : SIP-3 Proposal Unveiled
Sei Labs has introduced #SIP-3, a pivotal proposal to transition Sei (#Sei ) to an #evm -only architecture. This marks a strategic shift away from dual VM support, retiring CosmWasm and native Cosmos transactions in favor of a unified EVM experience.
What’s Changing?
Only EVM addresses will be able to send transactions.
Core functions like staking and governance will remain.
A three-phase migration plan ensures a smooth transition.
Why the Change?
Phillip Su, Engineering Manager at Sei Labs, emphasized the network's momentum since launching Sei v2 with EVM support. Simplifying to EVM aims to:
Enhance developer & user experience
Reduce infrastructure complexity
Strengthen community alignment
What’s Next?
and validators will need to adapt workflows, while Sei Labs will guide the community through each phase.
The EVM era on Sei is coming — and it’s designed to scale.
