Is Ethereum pushing too hard with 6-second blocks? Here’s the truth
Ethereum’s proposed move to 6-second block times under EIP-7782 promises faster transactions and real-time responsiveness.
Ethereum core developer Barnabé Mannot has proposed EIP-7782, which seeks to halve Ethereum block times from 12 to six seconds.
If accepted, it would become one of the most significant upgrades since The Merge, which introduced the new proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus layer. The EIP-7782 proposal put forward the promise of faster confirmations and improved decentralized finance (DeFi) efficiency.
