Ethereum execution proofs take 6–7 seconds per block on Sepolia
- —16 Nvidia RTX 5090 GPUs, split evenly between ethrex and reth, produced proofs in 6–7 seconds
- —Over 36,000 execution proofs generated on Sepolia
- —EIP-8025 separates proof generation from verification but does not change consensus rules
- —Validators must still re-execute transactions to confirm block results
Why it matters: If execution proofs are adopted, validators could skip re-executing every transaction, cutting node load on Ethereum.
