【Ethereum developers propose to halve the block interval time to 6 seconds, planned for implementation in the 2026 Glamsterdam upgrade】According to Golden Finance, Cointelegraph reported that Ethereum core developer Barnabé Monnot recently discussed the EIP-7782 improvement proposal, which aims to shorten the block generation time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds. This proposal is planned to be included in the Glamsterdam upgrade at the end of 2026. The technical adjustments include compressing the block proposal time from 4 seconds to 3 seconds and reducing the verification time from 4 seconds to 1.5 seconds, which could save a total of 6 seconds of latency. Analysis indicates that after speeding up, DeFi transaction confirmations will be more efficient, arbitrage opportunity windows will shorten, but it may put pressure on network bandwidth and low-configuration validation nodes. If successful, the Ethereum Gas limit is expected to triple, and the blob supply could reach 8 times the current amount. Currently, the proposal is in the early discussion stage and needs to undergo rigorous testing to avoid smart contract compatibility issues.
