Sei Passes SIP-6 Proposal to Upgrade Mainnet to Autobahn Consensus

Sei said SIP-6 has passed, and its development team, Sei Labs, will begin the Autobahn consensus upgrade. According to Foresight News, the upgrade is a core part of Sei Giga and will replace a system in which a single validator proposes blocks with one that allows multiple validators to propose transaction batches in parallel. The change is intended to improve the network's handling of on-chain orders, cancellations, and price updates. Sei previously set performance targets of 200,000 transactions per second and finality in about 250 milliseconds. The announcement did not specify when the upgrade will be activated on mainnet.
