With the launch of the Fast Confirmation Rule on Ankr RPC today, Ethereum transaction confirmation times have dropped from roughly 13 minutes to approximately 12 seconds.
Historically, applications faced a difficult trade-off between holding out for full finality and prioritizing speed by taking on potential risk. The Fast Confirmation Rule introduces a dependable compromise between these two choices. Notably, across a full year of replayed mainnet history, not a single fast-confirmed block experienced a reversal.
This system is engineered for day-to-day rapid execution, while traditional full finality remains accessible whenever top-level security is essential.
