Ethereum developers propose halving the time between blocks to 6 seconds

According to online reports, according to Cointelegraph, Ethereum core developer Barnabé Monnot recently discussed the EIP-7782 improvement proposal, which plans to shorten the block generation time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds. The plan is planned to be included in the Glamestead upgrade at the end of 2026. Technical adjustments include compressing the block proposal time from 4 seconds to 3 seconds, and reducing the verification time from 4 seconds to 1.5 seconds, saving an overall 6-second delay. The analysis pointed out that after the speed increase, DeFi transaction confirmation will be more efficient and the arbitrage opportunity window will be shortened, but it may put pressure on network bandwidth and low-configuration verification nodes. If implemented successfully, the Ethereum Gas limit is expected to increase by three times, and the supply of blobs may reach eight times the current level. The proposal is currently in the early stages of discussion and needs to pass strict testing to avoid smart contract compatibility issues.
