Multiple concurrent proposers are being explored to lower block latency
  • By allowing several validators to propose blocks simultaneously, the protocol can achieve sub‑10 ms finality.
  • This design mirrors research from Salana and other L1s that aim for ultra‑low latency.
  • Jeff references a paper by Max Resnik and Anatoli discussing the feasibility of such a system.
  • The approach promises faster order matching and reduced MEV extraction opportunities.

Future Scaling: Multiple Proposers, Fast Blocks, and Latency Trade-offs

Hyperliquid is investigating multiple concurrent proposers to cut latency and further diminish MEV. Faster block times reduce the window for front-running, but they increase network overhead. The team believes hardware advances will keep the system scalable.
