Solana Cuts Slot Times by 12.5% in First Network Adjustment Since Launch

Solana has made its first feature gate adjustment since network launch, reducing slot times from 400 ms to 350 ms. This change is set to take effect at epoch 1020 on Solana's mainnet.

The move aims to accelerate the network and improve overall performance. According to Jacob Creech, vice president of engineering at Solana Labs, this reduction will have a significant impact on users, enabling them to process transactions more quickly.
