According to Vitalik Buterin, there is potential to reduce asynchronous messaging times from two weeks to ten minutes, and eventually to one slot, leveraging recent advancements in zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs and aggregation. This development could significantly enhance transaction efficiency in blockchain networks, which is crucial for traders seeking faster and more reliable transaction processing. Accurate and timely async messaging can reduce latency issues, making trading operations more efficient (source: Vitalik Buterin on Twitter).
