'Millisecond' preconfirmations make it to Ethereum via new RPC

Ethereum mainnet transfers can reach block times in just 200 milliseconds, according to Ethereum infrastructure platform Primev when using its “FAST RPC” solution.

Ethereum transactions can now be preconfirmed in just a fraction of a second with new tech from an Ethereum infrastructure platform.

Primev says its FAST RPC (Remote Procedure Call) allows transactions to be preconfirmed and set for inclusion in blocks in under 200ms — enabling everything from Ether (ETH) transfers and interacting with smart contracts to minting non-fungible tokens (NFTs) at “blazing speed.”

Preconfirmation is an early signal from a block builder indicating a transaction will likely be included in the next block, while block inclusion refers to a transaction being added into a block.
