Understanding Ethereum Blocks
Slots vs Blocks
Ethereum's Beacon Chain produces a new slot every 12 seconds. Each slot is an opportunity for a randomly selected validator to propose a block. If the selected validator is offline, the slot is skipped (missed slot).
Epochs
An epoch consists of 32 consecutive slots (384 seconds, ~6.4 minutes). At the end of each epoch, the beacon chain performs attestation aggregation and updates validator balances.
Finalization
A block becomes finalized after two epochs (approximately 12.8 minutes), meaning it cannot be reorganized without destroying at least 1/3 of all staked ETH.
Block Rewards
What Validators Earn
Validators earn rewards from two sources: consensus layer rewards (for attestations and proposals) and execution layer tips (MEV + priority fees) when they propose a block.
Attestation Rewards
Every active validator earns small attestation rewards each epoch for correctly voting on the head, source, and target checkpoints. These make up the majority of base staking yield.
