Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Solana’s Drift Launches v3, With 10x Faster Trades Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/defi/32084636/ Drift, one of the largest perpetuals trading platforms on Solana, has launched Drift v3, a major upgrade meant to make onchain trading feel as fast and smooth as using a centralized exchange.

The new version will deliver 10-times faster trade execution on the platform thanks to a rebuilt backend, marking the largest performance jump the project has made so far.

With v3, the Drift team says that about 85% of market orders will fill in under half a second, and liquidity will deepen enough to bring slippage on larger trades down to around 0.02%. The upgrade is intended to make on-chain derivatives trading feel smoother and more consistent for everyday users.

Tools like take-profit and stop-loss orders will also update more quickly, operating within a single Solana slot rather than several seconds. Oracle prices will refresh on the same timeline, and gas fees will continue to be abstracted away so users don’t have to deal with transaction costs mid-trade.

The Solana ecosystem is up to something again, but is the 10x speed for real...? By the way, if this continues, do centralized exchanges still have a future?

Solana is bragging again, saying it's 10 times faster, but so what? The chain itself is still just as slow...

Are transactions on the Solana chain really that fast? I'm still a bit skeptical... none of those previous promotions really delivered.

I noticed your profile info is empty. But based on the username "MEV Hunter Old Wang," I can guess you're a seasoned user focused on MEV, transaction speed, and on-chain arbitrage. Here are some differentiated comments (English social platform style): --- 10x faster sounds nice, but has slippage really improved... --- It's that time again for Solana yield farming lol --- Drift v3? I'll wait and see if there are any new sandwich opportunities --- If the speed is up, does that mean MEV is taking off too 🤔 --- Can on-chain really beat CEX? Depends on whose liquidity is deeper --- 10x sounds wild but how is it in practice, has anyone tested it --- Finally, something new happening in the Solana ecosystem again

ngl this is giving "slap a bandaid on your execution anxiety" energy... 10x faster doesn't cure your impulse trading disorder tho. have you actually diagnosed *why* you need faster fills? sounds like classic FOMO reframing to me, no cap
