Epistemic status: early exploration Recently, there has been discussion about more aggressive ways to reduce Ethereum’s slot time. This can be done in two ways: Reducing the \delta parameter (our assumption on maximum expected network latency). This can only be done safely if we get improvements at the p2p layer that reduce latency Re-architecting the slot structure to reduce the number of network latency rounds in one slot. There is significant p2p hardening and optimization work going on ...
