Sei’s blockchain storage is safe... for the next 130 million years. 🔐
A theoretical collision attack against LtHash, the lattice-based hash function used by @Sei Official Network to generate blockchain state fingerprints, has been proposed in ePrint paper 2026/2083.
But the numbers tell a different story.
The attack would require: • Computing 2^81 fingerprints • Storing 8 sextillion fingerprints in a database • Expanding Sei’s current fingerprint count by roughly 2 trillion times
Even at 1 billion new fingerprints per second, reaching that scale would take over 130 million years.
The takeaway?
This is a theoretical cryptographic finding, not an active exploit or an immediate threat to Sei.
Sometimes, the math behind blockchain security speaks louder than the headlines. 🛡️
