Solana reduces blockchain slot time to 350 milliseconds for the first time.

TechFlow reports that on August 21, according to Cointelegraph, Solana has reduced its blockchain slot time to 350 milliseconds, marking the first decrease in slot time for the network since genesis. Jacob Creech, Vice President of Technology at the Solana Foundation, stated that the next target is 300 milliseconds.

Previously, the Solana Foundation had proposed gradually lowering the slot time from 400 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds to reduce network latency and accelerate transaction confirmation. The reduction plan is expected to be implemented on the mainnet in phases through the validator client Agave v4.2, but the specific timeline remains uncertain.
