Block production speeds up, and the strategies for MEV and validators need to adapt accordingly.

The core issue is that shortening the block interval directly compresses the searchers' operational space. When the total rotation cycle is reduced to around 7.2 seconds, validators still take turns producing blocks every 16 blocks, which means strategies that rely on time differences are no longer effective—it's necessary to rethink the approach. Simply put, with a faster pace, the original methods must be changed.

Blocks are produced quickly, and the searcher's operational space is directly eliminated. Now MEV players have to reshuffle.

Fast block production speed, brothers who rely on exploiting time differences to make money are getting anxious.

When the time window shrinks, the searcher's arbitrage opportunity disappears. A new approach is needed.

The old ways will die when the pace speeds up—that's the cruelty of the market. Those who rely on timing differences to make a living now have to go through a bloodbath. If you can't adapt, then get ready to be cut.
