Solana to activate 250 ms slots on mainnet on September 18

  • Activation of 250 ms slots is expected on September 18 at around 05:01 UTC at the boundary of epoch 1037
  • Slot reduction is phased: 400 → 350 → 300 → 250 → 200 ms
  • 350 ms and 300 ms slots are already live on mainnet, while 250 ms and 200 ms are active on devnet and testnet
  • At 200 ms, the network will produce twice as many blocks per day as at 400 ms
Why it matters: Shorter slots speed up transaction confirmation and reduce spreads, boosting Solana's competitiveness.
