EIP-8198 proposes cutting Ethereum block time from 12 to 10 seconds
- —EIP-8198 first reduces Ethereum block time from 12 to 10 seconds
- —Further slot reductions depend on network state
- —Backed by Lido, Ethena, Ondo, Railgun, DefiLlama, Flashbots and Titan Builder
- —Combined with FOCIL, stronger transaction inclusion and censorship resistance are expected
Why it matters: Shorter slots would speed up DEX quotes and improve LP returns, but the impact on node decentralisation needs to be tested.
