PANews June 24 news, according to Cointelegraph, Ethereum core developer Barnabé Monnot recently discussed the EIP-7782 improvement proposal, which aims to reduce block generation time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds. This proposal is planned to be included in the Glamsterdam upgrade at the end of 2026. Technical adjustments include compressing block proposal time from 4 seconds to 3 seconds, verification time from 4 seconds to 1.5 seconds, saving a total of 6 seconds latency.
Analysis indicates that after speeding up, DeFi transaction confirmations will be more efficient, and the window for arbitrage opportunities will shorten, but it may put pressure on network bandwidth and low-configuration validating nodes. If successfully implemented, the Ethereum gas limit is expected to increase by 3 times, and the blob supply may reach 8 times the current amount. Currently, the proposal is in the early discussion stage and needs to go through rigorous testing to avoid smart contract compatibility issues.
