Solana's mainnet slot time has been reduced from 400 milliseconds to 350 milliseconds, marking the first such reduction since the network launched.

The upgrade, tracked as SIMD-0525, went live on mainnet Friday and is part of a phased approach to further reduce slot times. The next target is 300 milliseconds, with three more 50-millisecond cuts planned through separate feature gates.

Solana credited improvements to Turbine and Replay, the network's block propagation layer and validator verification process respectively, as the technical enablers that made a shorter slot time survivable at scale.
