[Solana Reduces Slot Time to 250ms, Evaluating Feasibility of 200ms] The Solana Foundation has reduced Solana's Slot Time from 400ms to 250ms and is evaluating the feasibility of lowering it further to 200ms. The network's block skip rate remains stable, and the network stall time caused by consecutive block skips has decreased from 1800ms to 1200-1400ms. The transaction ordering metric p99 has improved from 3 seconds to 2 seconds. The reduction in Slot Time has led to increased voting latency, with nodes in Asia and South America being more noticeably affected. Caution is advised before reducing Slot Time to 200ms prior to the launch of Alpenglow.
