This upgrade aims to introduce a high-speed, parallelized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enhancing network speed and compatibility with Ethereum contracts. 
The Sei Foundation’s <a href="https://sei.explorers.guru/proposal/55" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">proposal</a> for the V2 upgrade marks a significant milestone. Sei Labs promises sub-second transaction finality and improved user experience with the new parallelized EVM. 
Pending governance approval, the upgrade is set for implementation by May 27, promising enhanced blockchain performance and compatibility with Ethereum apps like Uniswap and Frax.
