The business case is clear: faster confirmations, fresher onchain prices, and faster finality. Pay the one time cost, reduce slot times to 10 seconds then ratchet lower.

Learning how to reduce slot times now-- like we did with blobs-- is a great idea. Step 1, turn faster slots into a reliable system, starting with a modest speedup from 12s to 10s. Step 2, dial knob. Steps take years due to hard forks. Strong supporter to do this in Hegota.

still sitting with the question I had under the original announcement — does moving toward a ratchet-style, ever-shortening slot time make timing-correlation analysis on privacy pools easier or harder over time? more uniform, shorter slots could cut both ways: better UX for legitimate users, but also a tighter window for an observer trying to correlate deposit and withdrawal timing. haven't seen this angle discussed yet.

A fast Ethereum that doesn’t compromise on its main value propositions sounds great.

does this change the confirmation ux for apps, or mostly make infra people happier?

10s sounds small until every wallet confirmation path starts depending on it

Yes, I want to be able to confirm trades immediately when the market surges or plummets.
