An Ethereum Improvement Proposal known as EIP-8198, or Quick Slots, is being advanced by teams including Ethlabs, according to Techub News. The proposal lays out a two-step path aimed at improving Ethereum mainnet performance. It would first rework the software to remove the hardcoded 12-second block time, then gradually reduce block production time from the current 12 seconds to 10 seconds. Any move to shorten block time beyond that would not be automatic. The report said further reductions would require separate testing and broader consensus before moving ahead. The update was cited by Techub News and attributed to Wu Blockchain in the source note.
Ethereum Improvement Proposal EIP-8198, better known as Quick Slots, is moving ahead with backing from teams that include Ethlabs, Techub News reported.
It lays out a two-step plan to speed up Ethereum mainnet performance. First, the software would be reworked so the hardcoded 12-second block time is removed. Then, block time would be cut in stages from the current 12 seconds to 10 seconds.
And if anyone wants to push block time lower than that, the report said it would need separate testing and consensus.
