Odaily Planet Daily report: On September 18, Solana reduced its target slot time from 300 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds, marking the third speedup since August. Since the computational and data capacity per slot is proportionally reduced, the network’s overall throughput has not increased. This adjustment is the third phase of the SIMD-0525 four-phase plan, with slot time having decreased from 400 milliseconds at genesis to 350 milliseconds, then 300 milliseconds, and now 250 milliseconds. The final step—reducing slot time to 200 milliseconds—has not yet been scheduled for mainnet activation, contingent upon validators maintaining a stable skip rate.

Summary
Solana launched a network upgrade on September 18, reducing its target slot time from 300 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds—the third such adjustment since August. This change is part of the SIMD-0525 initiative, designed to increase block production speed by 17%. Slot time has been progressively lowered from 400 milliseconds at genesis. The next phase aims for 200 milliseconds, contingent on stable validator skip rates. Network throughput remains unchanged, as computation and data per slot were proportionally reduced. The upgrade occurs amid continued emphasis on inflation metrics and system efficiency.
