Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has outlined new strategies to significantly reduce transaction confirmation times on the . In a recent blog post, Buterin highlighted the need for faster transaction speeds, particularly for certain applications that require latencies in the “hundreds of milliseconds or even less.”
One of the key proposals is the implementation of “Single-Slot Finality” (SSF), which aims to streamline Ethereum’s complex slot and epoch architecture. By ensuring each new block is finalized before the next one is proposed, SSF could drastically cut transaction confirmation times. Buterin also discussed the potential of “Rollup Preconfirmations,” where Layer 2 protocols handle faster transaction processing, while the Ethereum base layer focuses on core functions like security and stability.
Further, there was a ‘Based Preconfirmations’ model by Buterin which requires the users to pay an extra amount for the assurance of their transactions being included in the succeeding block, hence, making it more reliable and secure. All these strategies can be considered as an attempt to strengthen Ethereum’s position in the constantly developing sphere of and offer users a better experience.
