Solana said in a post on X that it has gradually reduced its target slot time from 400 ms to 250 ms. During that process, the network’s skipped-slot rate remained stable, and the amount of stall time caused by consecutive skipped slots also declined. At the same time, the shorter slot time led to higher vote latency, with nodes in Asia and South America seeing the clearest impact. Solana said that, before Alpenglow goes live, any further reduction to 200 ms should be approached carefully. The update focuses on the trade-off between faster block production targets and validator voting performance across different regions.

According to the post, the network’s skipped-slot rate stayed stable during the change, while stall time caused by consecutive skipped slots also became shorter.
Still, the shorter slot time increased vote latency, with nodes in Asia and South America affected most clearly. Solana said any further move to 200 ms before Alpenglow goes live requires caution.
