🐋 WHALE WATCH : SEI closed Q3 up 55% moving from $0.047 to $0.073. Most of that gain came in the final two weeks of September. The Giga Upgrade => Sei Labs dropped the Giga Whitepaper V2 on July 1 targeting 200000 TPS and sub 250ms finality down from 400ms. It added Sedna a private transaction layer and manipulation resistant ordering. v6.6 hit mainnet in early August with Ares as the default execution engine. Eidos moves two years of EVM history into a separate database so legacy data stops dragging on live transactions. Security=> Sei patched its sei js developer packages in July after the Miasma supply chain attack pinning vulnerable dependencies against malicious installs. On July 28 Sei Labs proposed SIP 5 letting users add a quantum resistant key while keeping their existing address and balance. Institutions=> Sei and Mastercard published joint research on August 26 on how institutions select a blockchain. The finding: technology isn’t the bottleneck. Governance and operational readiness decide what reaches production. Canary amended its staked SEI ETF filing on September 15 planning to stake roughly 90% of fund holdings with BitGo as sole custodian. SEI jumped over 30% in a single day on the news. The Token=> Three monthly unlocks released 166.7M SEI in Q3. The token still closed the quarter up 55%. Two of Gigas three layers are live. Autobahn consensus is next. Late September run: re rating or ETF hype ? That answer comes in Q4.
