NEAR's Major Upgrade SPICE Announcement: Block Time Cut to 200ms, 3x Performance Boost
NEAR has officially announced the next significant protocol upgrade, SPICE (Separation of Consensus and Execution), which is a crucial step towards Nightshade 3.0. Once the upgrade is complete, NEAR's block time will shrink from the current 600ms to just 200ms, achieving approximately a 3x speedup. SPICE enhances network throughput and efficiency by separating the consensus layer from the execution layer.
Why it matters: A 200ms block time approaches physical limits—NEAR is pushing blockchain performance to Web2-level responsiveness, clearing infrastructure hurdles for on-chain high-frequency trading and real-time applications.
