$SOL Solana Cuts Per-Block Compute Limits to Match 350ms Slot Speed
The compute budget reset
Solana's core developers have proposed cutting per-block compute limits by more than half as the network prepares to shrink slot times to 350 milliseconds.
The change addresses a throughput mismatch. Faster slots mean more leader handoffs per second, and the current 48M CU budget per slot would allow burst workloads that overwhelm the networking and scheduling layers during transitions.
Validator vote and timeline
Validator operators will vote on the parameter change through the standard feature-gate process. If approved, the new limits activate with the Agave v2.1 release, which targets testnet validation in the coming weeks before mainnet deployment.
SOL price action reflects broader market momentum rather than the technical proposal alone. CoinGecko data shows SOL at 85.38, up 11% in 24 hours and 13.2% over seven days, with 4.3 billion in daily volume.
Watch $SOL for the next session - if this move holds, it changes the read.
