On July 3, Ethereum developers unveiled a new Ethereum improvement proposal, EIP-7732, aimed at revamping the block validation mechanism to enhance the blockchain’s security and efficiency by dividing the process into consensus and execution.
This initiative responds to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s request for quicker transaction confirmation times, addressing the increasing demand for efficiency on the Ethereum network.
“A key characteristic of a positive blockchain user experience is rapid transaction confirmation times,” Buterin stated.
Traditionally, Ethereum has fallen behind other blockchains in terms of transaction speeds. While improvements have brought speeds to 5-20 seconds after the Merger, other networks still operate at twice that speed.
A CoinGecko report from May 2024 pointed out Ethereum’s absence from the list of the top 10 fastest blockchains, with Solana, SUI, and Binance Smart Chain leading in terms of speed.
How will EIP-7732 function?
In this framework, the consensus proposer selects the execution proposer. The execution proposer is then responsible for creating a valid block that encompasses essential information such as payments or block hashes.

To guarantee timely submissions, a group of validators known as the Payload Timeliness Committee (PTC) oversees the execution proposer’s compliance with their obligations.
At present, validators are required to manage both tasks concurrently, which can hinder efficiency.

EPBS enables validators to focus on consensus validation, deferring execution validation. Consequently, it improves network performance and security without compromise.
Moreover, the proposal establishes a trust-free framework for payment and block validation. This removes the necessity for middleware and guarantees transparency and dependability.
Ethereum ETFs Will Gain Advantage
Enhanced transaction speed is vital as the market looks forward to the introduction of Ethereum spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Investors are closely monitoring the cryptocurrency’s competitive position.
The SEC has authorized eight firms to initiate Ethereum ETFs, although the approval process is not currently active. Nevertheless, SEC Chair Gensler has indicated that the launch is reportedly proceeding “smoothly.”
As mandated by the SEC, the funds have begun submitting their S-1 forms, which is an additional phase of the approval process where the regulator reviews the specific details of each ETF.
This process may take several weeks, but a recent Bloomberg report indicates that it could be accelerated, allowing the ETFs to commence trading by mid-July.
Bitwise just filed an amended S-1 for spot Eth.. which wasn’t ‘due’ until July 8th. Probably just wanted to get it off their plate and from what I hear the last round of comments were ‘literally nothing’ = took zero time to update. Also, no fee yet. Probably get those next week-ish. pic.twitter.com/1r8xgKcdyC
