EIP-7782: Ethereum’s Slot Time Could Drop to 6 Seconds - Unchained
Ethereum core developer Barnabé Monnot proposed reducing Ethereum’s slot time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds via EIP-7782, effectively doubling the rate at which new blocks are created on the network.
With blocks proposed twice as often, transactions are included and confirmed more quickly, resulting in a more responsive blockchain. This means that wallets and dapps would be able to display fresher data, and onchain updates occur more frequently, leading to smoother interactions for users.

“Shorter slot times make Ethereum a better confirmation engine, which is arguably one of its main value propositions for apps and rollups settling on Ethereum L1,” wrote Monnot in a discussion forum.
The goal would be to introduce EIP-7782 at the next major mainnet upgrade dubbed Glamsterdam expected in 2026.
