Coinbase has announced it will convert Sei (SEI) to the Sei EVM from April 6-8, 2026, advising users to refrain from depositing or transferring SEI during this conversion period. The exchange will no longer support deposits to bech32 (Cosmos) deposit addresses for SEI following the upgrade. This technical update reflects Coinbase's commitment to supporting network upgrades and maintaining compatibility with evolving blockchain protocols.
The conversion represents a significant technical migration for the Sei Network as it transitions to an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible architecture. This change should improve interoperability and allow Sei to benefit from Ethereum's extensive developer ecosystem and tooling. Users are advised to monitor the official Coinbase status page for updates during the conversion window.
