there’s a way to make ethereum faster and we only have a few weeks to make it happen otherwise we will have to wait years
it’s called the quick slots upgrade.
would be great to speak with apps that would benefit from a fast Ethereum (literally everyone) and get this done.
Today I will be proposing faster slots for inclusion in Hegotá, to All Core Devs.
Faster slots improve the value of Ethereum blockspace. This is value that accrues to Ethereum users, to the network as a whole, and to ETH in particular.
While we cannot expect more than a moderate slot time reduction in Hegotá, there is a one-time cost to pay for any future slot time reductions, and Hegotá is likely the last window before long where it is sensible to pay this one-time cost.
This opens the door for continuous improvements as fast finality, post-quantum and zk roadmaps progress.
If you would like to support directly this EIP, or discuss possible contract or infra issues related to a slot time change, my DMs are open.
Quick Slots could be a major piece of the Glamsterdam puzzle. ⟠
Faster blocks, lower latency, more throughput Ethereum needs to move at internet speed.
The window is now. 🐻❄️
