Solana Network Faces Challenges with Late Packing and Slot Timing Games

According to PANews, Jito Labs has announced the launch of the IBRL Explorer tool, which provides a transparent view of the construction details within Solana blocks. The tool has identified prevalent behaviors such as 'Late Packing' and 'Slot Timing Games' within the Solana network. These practices are affecting the efficiency of state propagation, increasing latency, and undermining network stability. The IBRL Explorer utilizes three scoring mechanisms—Slot Time, Vote Packing, and Non-Vote Packing—to generate an IBRL score for each validator, aiming to enhance block construction quality and network performance.
