Ethereum researchers propose to shorten the final confirmation time of transactions from 16 minutes to approximately 4 minutes According to CoinDesk, Ethereum researchers have proposed a draft of a fast final confirmation mechanism, which plans to shorten the final confirmation time of transactions from the current about 16 minutes to about 4 minutes, with the goal of increasing it by about 4 times. The draft was submitted on Wednesday by Ben Edgington, the coordinator of the rapid final confirmation study, and is still in the early stages, with an activation time yet to be determined. The proposal plans to split the vote of validators for determining new blocks and final confirmation of historical blocks into two mechanisms, enabling final confirmation to proceed at a faster pace.
