Solana records faster block confirmations in latest network speed step

Solana’s latest network performance data shows reduced spacing between confirmed blocks, marking an initial move toward faster processing times, according to CryptoSlate. In Epoch 1021, blocks were spaced an average of 365.4 milliseconds apart, while the network’s block skip rate stood at 0.077%. The figures indicate that Solana has improved confirmation timing during the epoch, although the next planned 300-millisecond stage had not yet been reached and remained pending. The update focuses on block timing and skipped blocks across the network, rather than on any price move for SOL. CryptoSlate reported the performance figures on August 27, 2026. The data provides a snapshot of Solana’s progress toward sub-second confirmation speeds, with the 300ms target representing the next stage still awaiting implementation or completion.
