SOL JUST CUT BLOCK TIME IN HALF — 200MS SLOTS ARE LIVE
Network now targets 5 blocks/sec.
First full epoch averaged ~218ms.
Epoch length dropped from ~2 days to ~1 day.
Alpenglow is next.
While $BTC chops around $83k and $ETH sits near $2,500, $SOL is shipping real speed upgrades on mainnet.
Capacity stays roughly the same per second, but latency just got crushed. Traders and builders feel it first.
Weekend range is tight. Speed narrative is not.
