<p>According to Vitalik Buterin’s most recent article, “<a href="https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/06/30/epochslot.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Epochs and Slots All the Way Down</a>,” an effective approach to improving Ethereum’s transaction confirmation times is discussed. This development is subsequent to the his previous proposal on <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/ethereums-evolution-vitalik-buterin-proposes-groundbreaking-eip-7702/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the groundbreaking EIP-7702</a> as discussed in a previous report by CNF.</p>
<p>As discussed in today’s CNF YouTube video, ways to achieve the improvement of Ethereum transaction confirmation times to 5-20 seconds are explored, but some applications need even faster confirmations. Single Slot Finality (SSF) simplifies Ethereum’s consensus process, reducing the current 12.8-minute finality time to just one slot per block.</p>

<p>While SSF&nbsp;Proposes replacing Ethereum’s current consensus mechanism with a simpler, Tendermint-like system to finalize blocks before the next one is created, reducing complexity and finality time. However, it still requires validators to publish messages every 12 seconds, which can be burdensome.</p>
<p>In brief, here are the main aspects of the achieving Strategy for Quickening Transaction Confirmations:</p>
<ol>
 <li><strong>Rollup Preconfirmations:</strong> Focuses on using layer 2 protocols (L2s) to offer faster transaction confirmations by employing decentralized sequencing networks that validate transactions in milliseconds. This approach separates the concerns of L1 stability and L2 user experience.</li>
 <li><strong>Based Preconfirmations:</strong> Suggests sophisticated Ethereum proposers provide immediate transaction guarantees for an additional fee, enhancing user experience by ensuring transactions are included in the next block and potentially offering execution results. This mechanism aims to provide faster assurances while maintaining L1 security.</li>
</ol>
