Sei releases v2 upgrade introduction, announcing that it will add support for EVM

Sei will add support for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) in its V2 upgrade, which will enable developers to port Ethereum-based contracts to the Sei network. To add this functionality, Sei V2 will incorporate Geth. Sei Labs said it has developed a specialized interface to facilitate the interaction of Sei’s existing smart contract components (based on CosmWasm technology) with EVM components. CosmWasm is a custom Cosmos SDK module that allows chains to run smart contracts in the Cosmos ecosystem. With V2, the team will achieve efficient integration of EVM with the Sei network.
