SIMD-0525 outlines a gradual reduction in Solana’s target slot time from 400 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds through intermediate stages of 350, 300 and 250 ms. The 250 ms stage is the penultimate step before reaching the final target. To avoid increasing validator workload, the proposal simultaneously reduces compute and data limits per slot. This acceleration aims to improve confirmation latency and market structure for applications requiring fresh data, such as oracles and market makers. The staggered rollout allows operators to identify necessary adjustments in validation software.
