Solana has reduced its block time from 300 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds, increasing block production to four slots per second. This change, part of the SIMD-0525 upgrade, improves data freshness for wallets and trading apps by updating prices and account states more frequently, though it does not increase transaction throughput. The epoch duration also shortened from 36 to about 30 hours, affecting validators and staking rewards. The final target is 200 milliseconds per slot, pending validation of network stability at tighter timing.
