The Ethereum community is evaluating Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 7781, which aims to increase network throughput by reducing slot time.
On Oct. 5, Ben Adams, co-founder of Illyriad Games, introduced a proposal to lower Ethereum’s slot time from 12 seconds to 8 seconds, which would boost transaction throughput by about 33%.
This change would distribute bandwidth usage more evenly, reducing peak bandwidth needs without increasing the number of data blobs.
Adams clarified that the adjustment would yield a similar effect as increasing the number of blobs from 6 to 8 or raising the gas limit from 30 million to 40 million. However, it avoids increasing peak bandwidth demands.
An Ethereum research bot further explained that reducing slot time would improve rollup latency and throughput without burdening the network’s bandwidth. This keeps the Ethereum network accessible for participants with different bandwidth capabilities.
Meanwhile, the proposal requires a combination of EIP-76
