He added that a component named “Velociraptor” is not fully live yet, indicating pending upgrades and an upcoming activation milestone for traders to monitor, source: X post by @AveryChing on Oct 21, 2025. For trading, watch continued improvement in the reported “downhill slope” and the full rollout of Velociraptor as concrete indicators of progress toward CEX-level execution, source: X post by @AveryChing on Oct 21, 2025.

According to @AveryChing, Velociraptor reduces block times from 100 ms to 65 ms, a 35 percent improvement (source: @AveryChing on X, Sep 28, 2025). This change lifts block frequency from 10 to about 15.4 per second, accelerating on-chain money movement as stated by the author (source: @AveryChing on X, Sep 28, 2025). For traders, the shorter interval directly supports faster confirmation and settlement for transfers and payments, aligning with the author’s description of a big step forward for money movement (source: @AveryChing on X, Sep 28, 2025).
