Solana cuts mainnet slot time to 200ms in Oct. 9 upgrade, doubling block-production opportunities

AI Market Summary
Solana activated 200ms slots on mainnet (SIMD-0525 via Anza's Agave client), doubling block-production opportunities and shortening epochs to ~24 hours. Faster slot cadence can improve latency for on-chain trading and market-making, though per-second execution capacity is unchanged due to proportional compute-budget reductions. The change increases operational demands (tighter validator deadlines, shorter blockhash expiry), shifting focus to sustained performance and the upcoming Alpenglow finality upgrade.
