A new core protocol draft titled "Decoupled Consensus" has appeared in Ethereum's EIP repository, according to information on GitHub. The proposal would separate beacon chain head voting from finality proof voting. Its stated goals are to improve fork-choice safety, reduce the time to finality, and lay groundwork for a later transition to post-quantum cryptography, or PQ.
The draft lists Francesco D'Amato, Roberto Saltini, Yann Vonlanthen, Mikhail Kalinin and Ben Edgington among its contributors. It remains at an early draft stage, with multiple details still undecided. At this point, the submitters are mainly seeking an EIP number. The proposal has not been merged and is still awaiting further review.
The appearance of the draft in the EIP repository marks only an initial procedural step. Based on the available text, the proposal is still under discussion rather than moving into implementation.
