Solana has reduced its target slot time from 300 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds, increasing block production speed by about 17%. This change allows wallets, exchanges, and trading platforms to receive fresher transaction updates more frequently, improving coordination speed without increasing overall transaction throughput. Validators now control transaction ordering for one second instead of 1.2 seconds, and Solana epochs shorten from roughly 36 hours to 30 hours. A future target of 200 milliseconds is under consideration but not yet scheduled for mainnet.
Solana's recent increase in transaction speed provides context as Pluang's market shows broad gains among major cryptocurrencies. As of Sep 18, 2026 13:31 WIB, 45 of 50 major cryptocurrencies rose, with AAVE up 9.49% at Rp2.375.203 and a typical hold time of 105 days, contrasting with AXS which rose 8.71% at Rp17.890 but sees a shorter hold time of 62 days. CAKE increased 8.33% to Rp44.013 with a balanced order activity split of 57% Sell and 43% Buy.
