The Berachain community is promoting a proposal to shorten the transaction inclusion time from 2 seconds to approximately 200 milliseconds, joining the race for blockchain networks to achieve real-time transaction feedback.
The proposal "BRIP-0007: Berachain Pre-confirmation" suggests providing an optional "fast lane" for users who wish to accelerate speed without compromising the core security of the blockchain.
This mechanism allows transactions to be confirmed and displayed in less than 1 second, making decentralized finance (DeFi) exchanges, on-chain game interactions, and other delay-sensitive application experiences as swift as traditional Web2 applications.
The proposal states that the pre-confirmation layer will not alter the existing consensus design of the network but will introduce a new sorter that packages transactions into small "partial blocks." This way, wallets and decentralized applications (DApps) can receive nearly real-time feedback before the final settlement of the regular 2-second block cycle is completed.
By introducing a lightweight sorter that temporarily validates and broadcasts partial transaction data, the pre-confirmation design aims to reduce perceived latency.
This means users will see their transactions included within 200 milliseconds, although complete finality will still occur within the original two-second timeframe.
This development will help decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and Web3 games feel faster, akin to centralized systems. It will also allow developers to build applications that make exchanges, transfers, or payments feel instantaneous, even if complete settlement is slightly delayed.
The proposal also emphasizes security and activity. If the sorter fails to synchronize, Berachain will simply revert to its default two-second block building cycle to ensure network stability.
Berachain is not the first blockchain to explore the concept of pre-confirmation. The idea originated in the Ethereum research space, where developers sought to provide "soft confirmations" before on-chain transactions reached final settlement.
Ethereum's layer two networks have tested similar near-instant inclusion features through shared sorters and fast lane systems. In July of this year, Base launched Flashblocks, introducing pre-confirmation capabilities to the mainnet.
This Thursday, the Ethereum infrastructure platform Primev introduced pre-confirmation functionality to the Ethereum mainnet through a new remote procedure call (RPC), enabling faster mainnet transfers and smart contract interactions.
