Key Highlights: A proposed architectural update aims to enable Solana to produce five blocks per second by targeting a 200-millisecond block generation time. Individual block compute limits will decrease from 37.5 million to 30 million units, meaning throughput gains rely on frequency rather than larger capacity per block. Faster block creation introduces tradeoffs, including higher ...
Key Highlights Ethereum developers have flagged a potential attack vector on the Sepolia testnet that could disrupt block production during Glamsterdam upgrade testing, though mainnet user funds remain unaffected. The exploit scenario involves attackers leveraging free Sepolia testnet ETH and one-time builder IDs to win block bids while withholding transaction data, undermining test reliability. Public ...
Key Highlights Solana reduced its target slot time from 300 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds, accelerating the network clock by approximately 17% without expanding total transaction throughput. The change increases slot frequency to four per second from roughly 3.3, shortening each validator’s leader window from 1.2 seconds to one second and rotating transaction-ordering authority faster.
