Solana’s transaction failure rate fell from 44.5% to 30.6% alongside a reduction in target slot time, Blockworks Research analyst Sam Schubert said in an analysis posted on X.
According to Blockworks Research data comparing periods when Solana’s target slot time was 400 milliseconds and 200 milliseconds, the share of failed transactions among those included in blocks, excluding validator consensus vote transactions, declined from 44.5% to 30.6%. The share of failed transactions in total compute usage, excluding vote transactions, also dropped from 29.8% to 20.9%. Schubert said this meant a larger share of compute resources was being used for transactions that actually succeeded. Blockworks Research added it could not conclude the shorter slot time was the cause of the lower failure rate.
