Solana has reduced its target slot time from 300 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds, increasing the network's slot production rate to four slots per second. This change shortens each validator's leader window from 1.2 seconds to one second and reduces the expected epoch duration from about 36 hours to 30 hours. Although the slot rate increases by nearly 17%, overall processing capacity remains roughly the same because resource limits per slot decrease proportionally. The network plans a final reduction to 200 milliseconds slots, targeting five slots per second, but no mainnet date has been set yet.
