Sei Showcase

Highlighting the biggest development on Sei

💨 What’s happening: Sei Labs has updated its storage engine with a new system that handles read and write functions natively in order to improve latency.

💨 Why it matters: Blockchains process transactions, but applications still need to read data such as balances and price updates before users can interact with them.

Sei Labs’ update will allow applications to retrieve onchain data faster than before by reducing read/write latency, which in turn will help trading interfaces and market makers react more quickly to market changes.

For trading platforms, this enables:

  • Faster order matching and execution

  • More responsive order books

  • Lower latency between price updates and trades

💨 The bigger picture: This storage upgrade is a step towards Sei’s longer-term Giga upgrade, which aims to significantly increase the network’s throughput and performance.

As throughput increases, blockchains generate more data from trades, swaps, and transfers. If the storage layer cannot keep up, applications may struggle to access the data quickly enough to support real-time trading.

Improving read/write speeds helps ensure Sei’s infrastructure can support high-frequency onchain markets.
