Solana's 250ms data shows lower-stake validators lost a larger share of reward-linked vote credits
- —At 250ms, equal-weighted vote credit loss was 1.6360% versus 0.0874% stake-weighted
- —Vote latency rose most among nodes in Asia and South America
- —Average vote latency stayed below two slots with no evidence of consensus instability
- —The Foundation treats 200ms as a possible next target, but forecasts remain conditional
Why it matters: Vote credits feed into staking rewards, making the move to 200ms an economic question about reward distribution, not just network speed.
