Validators Solutions Launches Solana Block Analyzer — Visualizing Per-Slot Block Duration and Assigned Validators
ELSOUL LABO B.V. and Validators DAO have released the 'Solana Block Analyzer,' a tool that visualizes the actual block production rhythm of the Solana network in milliseconds. By providing a per-slot breakdown of durations, assigned validators, True TPS, and block rewards, the tool helps developers optimize their applications against real-world network fluctuations.

ELSOUL LABO B.V. (Headquarters: Amsterdam, Netherlands; CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) and Validators DAO are pleased to announce the launch of 'Solana Block Analyzer (Slot Duration)' on the Solana On-chain Intelligence & Network Analytics site, 'Validators Solutions.'
## Overview of Solana Block Analyzer
The Solana Block Analyzer is an information view covering the most recent 32 slots on the Solana mainnet. It allows users to visually confirm the following metrics:
- **Network-wide Metrics:** Average TPS, True TPS (based on actual transactions excluding votes), and average slot time.
- **Individual Slot Details:** Block production time (ms), assigned validator name/address, transaction count (total and True), and block rewards (SOL).
The dashboard is designed to help users grasp both averages and the actual distribution of individual slots on a single screen.
## Theory vs. Reality: The 400ms Benchmark
While Solana slots are theoretically designed to be around 400ms, actual durations vary per slot and per validator on the mainnet. Some slots complete in under 400ms, while others may take over 500ms or even close to 600ms. The analyzer reveals what happens 'behind the average' by displaying durations in milliseconds and highlighting slots that took relatively longer, enabling a deeper understanding of the network's rhythm.
## Comprehensive Single-Screen Analysis
The top of the screen displays overall network speed metrics, while the center features a bar graph of the last 32 slots' durations. Each bar includes the validator's identification mark and rewards, allowing users to visually track validator rotations. A detailed list at the bottom provides time-series data, including validator addresses and UTC timestamps.
This tool neutrally visualizes the differences in block production rhythm among validators. It empowers developers building trading apps, bots, and real-time systems to construct strategies based on actual network performance rather than just theoretical guidelines.

FAQ
Solana ブロックアナライザーとは何ですか？
Solanaのブロック生成リズムをスロット（slot）単位で可視化し、平均TPSやスロット時間、担当バリデータ、ブロック報酬などを確認できる情報ビューです。
このツールで確認できる「True TPS」とは何ですか？
投票トランザクションを除いた、実際のアプリケーション利用等に基づく実トランザクション数から算出されたTPSのことです。
Solanaの実際のスロット時間はどれくらいですか？
理論上は400msが目安ですが、実際には400ms未満から600ms近くまで、スロットや担当バリデータごとに動的に変化しています。
どのようなデータがスロットごとに表示されますか？
ブロック生成時間（ms）、担当バリデータ名とアドレス、総トランザクション数、Trueトランザクション数、およびブロック報酬（SOL）が表示されます。
このツールは誰を対象に設計されていますか？
Solana上で取引アプリやbot、リアルタイムシステムを構築する開発者や、ネットワークの運用実態を正確に把握したいユーザーを対象としています。
