The faster block times from SIMD-0525's 200-millisecond upgrade could reduce opportunities for actors to delay transactions or exploit prices that have moved on other exchanges before the Solana blockchain catches up

Base blockchains that settle transactions on their own network, such as Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche, competing on security, throughput, decentralization, and developer ecosystems.

Approaches to processing more transactions without sacrificing security or decentralization, spanning rollups, sharding, data compression, and faster consensus designs.
