The Eidos Upgrade: replacing Sei’s storage database while the chain is running

Source → sei_blog · 2026-08-12

Sei's blog post introduces the Eidos Upgrade, which replaces the chain's storage database while the chain continues running. It explains that every blockchain node has two jobs—computing what happens next on the chain and storing what has already happened—and identifies storage as a critical bottleneck as blockchains attempt to scale. The provided text is cut off mid-sentence while describing what happens if storage cannot keep pace with the rate of new transaction execution.
