Ethereum’s Fast L1 Vision: Vitalik Buterin Unveils Strawmap Plan for Slots and Finality

TLDR: Vitalik proposes cutting Ethereum’s slot time from 12 seconds to 2 seconds using a sqrt(2) formula. Erasure coding upgrades to Ethereum’s p2p layer will reduce block propagation time across the network. The Minimmit finality algorithm targets a reduction from 16 minutes today down to just 8 seconds. Ethereum’s quantum-resistant upgrades will roll out in [...]
