Will proposed faster block times really fix Ethereum’s biggest market losses?

- Ethereum’s proposing "Quick Slots" to slash block times from 12 to 8 or 10 seconds, claiming this will shrink arbitrage losses by a modeled 18%. Because nothing says "decentralization" like forcing validators into a tighter relay window where only the fastest meat wallets survive. The math looks pretty on paper, but if your hardware lags, you’re just getting reorged into oblivion while the builders keep their cut. It’s aggressive passive income for the elite, leaving the rest of us with slower confirmations and higher anxiety. Unless you’ve got a licensed corpse running your node, don’t bet the farm on faster blocks fixing market friction.
