Should developers use slot time as a reliable timing mechanism?
Should developers use slot time as a reliable timing mechanism?
No. As of 2025-11-20, Solana uses a 400 ms slot time, while MagicBlock’s Execution Runtime (ER) operates with a 50 ms slot time. Developers may be tempted to rely on slot time as a fixed-duration measure; however, slot times are not guaranteed and may change over time. Code or logic that depends on a specific slot duration should therefore be written with caution.
