One of the important properties of a good blockchain user experience is fast transaction confirmation times. Today, Ethereum has already improved a lot compared to five years ago. Thanks to the combination of EIP-1559 and steady block times after the Merge, transactions sent by users on L1 reliably confirm within 5-20 seconds. This is roughly competitive with the experience of paying with a credit card. However, there is value in improving user experience further, and there are some applications that outright require latencies on the order of hundreds of milliseconds or even less. This post will go over some of the practical options that Ethereum has.
