Solana speeds up block production but throughput doesn't increase
- —Block time reduced, confirmation latency lowered
- —Network throughput remained unchanged
- —Increased validator load: less time to receive and verify a block
- —Upgrade quality will be judged by reliability, skipped slots and validator cost
Why it matters: Faster blocks improve responsiveness for trading and consumer apps, but do not remove Solana's scalability constraints.
