Ethereum Tests Fast Confirmation Rule to Speed Up Transactions

[johnblockbuster]

Ethereum developers are testing a new Fast Confirmation Rule (FCR) that could reduce transaction confirmation times to just 13 seconds.

The mechanism aims to dramatically speed up deposits from Ethereum’s mainnet to layer-2 networks and exchanges—cutting waiting times by up to 98% compared to current methods.

Unlike traditional confirmation systems, FCR uses validator attestations instead of block counts, allowing faster and more efficient validation without requiring a network-wide upgrade.
