Enabling Sub-second Preconfirmations with Trustless Proposer Commitments on Ethereum
2/ A New Frontier for Ethereum
Bolt’s Alpha release brings Ethereum one step closer to trustless proposer commitments on mainnet, with inclusion preconfirmations as its genesis commitment type.
Inclusion preconfirmations are a new Ethereum primitive that circumvents the 12-second block proposal interval, allowing for sub-second confirmations of non-contentious transactions.
4/ Instant Transactions
A bolt-enabled future has the power to transform Ethereum UX fully. Our live demo here showcases a not-so-far future where L1 transfers could be executed at the speed of a click!
5/ Proposer Commitments
Under the hood, bolt enables proposers to make credible statements about their blockspace. Proposers flexibly decide what inputs to include in their blocks and what actions they take in response to these inputs, all in an MEV-boost compatible mechanism.
6/ Bolt is fully open-source and supported by a strong ecosystem.
Thank you to all our partners who have contributed to bolt's development.
We are live on the Helder testnet, a dedicated network where protocols can test implementations of preconfirmations.
For Bolt Alpha, we’re expanding our Proposer Working Group. While capacity is limited, it’s open to everyone! If you’re interested, please fill out our form.
