Solana increases blocks per second from 3.3 to 4—up 17% faster! But has the compute power changed? 🤔
In the September 18 upgrade, Solana’s block production speed is accelerated again, aiming to improve the freshness of on-chain data. While block time was compressed from 300 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds, the per-block compute quota was reduced at the same time—so the total amount of computation the network can handle per second doesn’t actually increase.
This improvement mainly benefits oracle quote pricing, AMM state updates, and the speed of transaction confirmations, making it more suitable for high-frequency trading needs. $SOL performed well in this round of upgrades, with a current price of about $117 and a 24-hour gain of 8%.
Does this mean Solana is prioritizing transaction speed over compute capacity? What impact does this have on other public chains?
