Barnabé Monnot’s EIP‑7782 Supercharges Ethereum Speed

  1. Ethereum dev Barnabé Monnot proposes EIP‑7782.

  2. Aims to cut block times to 6 seconds.

  3. Expected to reduce fees and improve DeFi UX.

Ethereum developer Barnabé Monnot has put forward EIP‑7782, a proposal to reduce Ethereum’s block time from ~12 seconds to 6 seconds. This adjustment aims to improve the network’s responsiveness and throughput, especially for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

Why 6s Blocks Matter for Users

Shorter block times mean transactions finalize faster, reducing wait times for users. This speed boost improves the user experience (UX) by cutting delays in wallet confirmations and dApp interactions. Additionally, quicker blocks allow more transactions per minute, which can drive down gas fees through reduced network congestion.

The “Glamsterdam” Upgrade in 2026

The changes from EIP‑7782 are planned to be part of Ethereum’s 2026 “Glamsterdam” hard fork. This upgrade builds on post‑Merge improvements, targeting scalability and efficiency without compromising security. If adopted, Glamsterdam will mark Ethereum’s next big performance leap.
