Solana Testnet Block Time Target Drops 12.5% to 350ms

Solana testnet implements SIMD-0525 adjustment, reducing block time target from 400ms to 350ms as initial step toward 200ms goal.

Woofun AI reports that the Solana testnet will activate the first block time adjustment under the SIMD-0525 framework within two hours. This update reduces the target block time from 400 milliseconds to 350 milliseconds, serving as the initial phase of a four-stage roadmap aimed at achieving a 200-millisecond target.
