Another big upgrade landed on @NEARProtocol:

Full Speed ⚡

Quick TL;DR:

▪ 600ms block time

▪ Practical Finality of 1.2 seconds

To give you an example of how fast this actually is, $SOL has 1600ms block time and 12s finality

That's a 10x faster chain than Solana, and I don't think we need to state how much faster than $ETH this is

That works even when you take L2s and rollups in consideration

MegaETH for example, has really fast blocks, but finality might take even full minutes to come

All of this has a semi-obvious goal of pushing $NEAR as the go-to blockchain for AIs and anything working with AI

Every app and wallet working on the NEAR chain will be directly affected by it

No need for extra hardware either

Blink and it's final
