Anza’s proposed Solana design would divide block production among multiple participants in 50-millisecond slots, aiming to limit any one producer’s influence over transaction order.
The proposal identifies miner extractable value (MEV) and censorship as concerns. Anza lists more efficient transaction processing and greater censorship resistance as intended outcomes.
New Constellation concerns block production, a different network function from consensus finality. Alpenglow, which Solana activated Oct. 21, sets a roughly 150-millisecond goal for transactions to reach finality. EconoTimes previously covered the expected Alpenglow handoff. The 50-millisecond slots and Alpenglow’s 150-millisecond target describe separate stages of network operation.
