AltLayer, Astar Network, and EigenLayer have teamed up to reduce finality times to under 10 seconds on Soneium. Soneium currently uses Ethereum’s fraud-proof mechanism, which requires a latency of nearly fifteen minutes for L1 settlement. The latest development, therefore, aims to deliver significant finality speed. Despite its security, the aforementioned latency has become a hindrance for applications that require reliable and fast cross-chain transactions. Use cases related to gaming, social platforms, and decentralized finance (DeFi) are particularly sensitive to this type of latency. It can hinder real-time interactions and also become a major hindrance for consumers. To address this issue,…
