An Ethereum core developer has proposed an improvement to reduce the block generation time (slot time) from 12 seconds to 6 seconds.
According to Cointelegraph on the 23rd (local time), Barnabé Monnot, an Ethereum core developer, proposed on the 21st via EIP-7782 to reduce the slot time to 6 seconds.
Monnot explained, "Reducing the slot time will accelerate transaction confirmations and can increase the network’s service value." He added, "The market will operate more efficiently, transaction fees will decrease, and automated market maker liquidity will increase," and "A smoother user experience can be provided across wallets, DApps, and layer-2 networks."
If this proposal passes a vote, it will be included in the Ethereum upgrade 'Glamsterdam' scheduled for late 2026. Glamsterdam is an update focusing on gas optimization and protocol efficiency improvements.
