#SolanaPlansToCutBlockTimesTo200ms Solana Plans To Reduce Block Times To 200 ms โ IT'S LIVE TODAY!
Today, Solana announced one of the fastest upgrades in its history.
Anza announces: Final slot reduction to 200ms goes live today Oct 9 at โผ15:00 UTC at epoch 1053 boundary on mainnet-beta 9304d66e
Roadmap:
400ms โ 350ms โ 300ms โ 250ms โ 200ms FINAL
It's 50% faster compared to original and 20% faster compared to current 250ms d66e
What does it mean:
- 5 blocks per second
- Faster confirmation & finality
- Great for oracles, market makers, AI payments
- Epoch duration decreases from 30h to โผ24h
And all this happens in the same week when
$SOL introduced x402 batch USDC payments for AI agents โ allowing 100s of AI model payments in 1 settlement, saving $20K+/month in fees 9304
It's a part of SIMD-0525, unrelated to the Alpenglow upgrade that aims at 150ms finality.
$SOL has already broken a record of 5,000+ user TPS in September and 216M transactions per day. And now it's going to become even faster.
5 blocks per second โ Solana isn't slowing down.
Bullish for
$SOL ?
