Solana cuts blockchain slot time to 350 milliseconds
Zusammenfassung:Solana reduced its slot time to 350 milliseconds, marking the first such reduction since the network's inception, according to Solana Foundation VP of Technology Jacob Creech. Creech announced the milestone in a Friday X post, adding “Were in a new era of 350ms. Next stop, 300ms.” Average slot times were 360ms at press time, down from the original 400ms target. The foundation previously outlined plans to cut slot times to 200ms, with three additional 50ms reductions planned. All stages are slated for mainnet activation in Agave v4.2, a validator client by Anza, though the timeline remains tentative. The underlying proposal, SIMD-0525, was approved and merged on May 14.
Solana reduced its slot time to 350 milliseconds, marking the first such reduction since the inception of the network, according to the Solana Foundations vice president of technology, Jacob Creech.
“Were in a new era of 350ms. Next stop, 300ms,” Creech said in a Friday X post.
Average slot times on Solana stood at 360ms at press time, down from the networks original 400ms target, according to the Solana slot time explorer.
In June, the Solana Foundation shared plans to reduce slot times from 400ms to 200ms, arguing that it would improve latency and accelerate confirmations on the blockchain network. Three further 50ms reductions are planned.
All four stages are targeted for mainnet activation in Agave v4.2, a validator client developed by Anza, though the schedule is tentative.
SIMD-0525, the proposal establishing the shorter slot times, was approved and merged on May 14.
