This EIP Can Make Ethereum 2x Faster: Details

• Ethereum (ETH) might have its latency decreased by 50% with this EIP
• 2026 Glamsterdam Ethereum (ETH) hard fork taking shape: What to know Cryptocurrency researcher who goes by Fede’s Intern indicates some important upgrades Ethereum (ETH) might undergo in the near future. Besides optimized validation architecture and parallelized data logistics, Ethereum (ETH) might enjoy a 2x transaction latency cut.

Ethereum (ETH) might have its latency decreased by 50% with this EIP

EIP-7782: Reduce Block Latency, a crucial Ethereum Improvement Proposal that is undergoing discussion right now, might decrease latency by 50%, reorganize bandwidth usage and improve the user experience of the largest smart contract platform, pseudonymous researcher Fede’s Intern points out on X.

As specified in the official description of the EIP on Ethereum.org, while keeping block and blob sizes unchanged, the change will make bandwidth usage smoother, achieve faster L1/L2 interaction, tighter DEX pricing, reduced MEV and quicker finality.

Authored by Ethereum (ETH) veterans Ben Adams and Dankrad Feist, the EIP is on the Standard Track right now with the "Draft" phase underway.

Also, Fede’s Intern highlighted EIP-7928: Block-Level Access (BLA) Lists as the opportunity to parallelize disk read and transaction validation to optimize operations on Ethereum (ETH).

EIP-7928 was introduced in March 2025.

At the same time, EIP-7732: Enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation might be adding too much complexity to the existing protocol design and can be researched later, Fede’s Intern concludes.

2026 Glamsterdam Ethereum (ETH) hard fork taking shape: What to know

EIP-7732 is expected to isolate the execution validation from the consensus validation.

Together with some other EIPs, the aforementioned updates might be included into the Gloas-Amsterdam, or Glamsterdam, Ethereum (ETH) hard fork.

Expanding the accomplishments of Prague-Electra (Pectra) hard fork and Fulu-Osaka (Fusaka) — expected to be activated in Q4, 2025 — Glamsterdam will introduce new opcodes and reconsider gas models for some functions.

Most likely, Glamsterdam will be activated in 2026.
