Vitalik Buterin has proposed a new approach to improve the network’s speed and scalability by rethinking how block finality is structured. He believes separating the fork choice and finality process could simplify the protocol and enable faster block confirmations. Under his plan, he proposes assigning a small, fixednumber of validators, roughly 256, to run the forks.
