Glossary / Solana Core
A ~2-day period on Solana composed of 432,000 slots — used for staking rewards and validator scheduling.
A Solana epoch is 432,000 slots, roughly 2 days. Staking rewards are calculated and distributed at epoch boundaries, and leader schedules for validators are set per epoch.
For token launches, epochs matter mainly for staking-related tokens (liquid staking, restaking) and for coordinating community events that align with reward distributions.
The fastest way to internalize a term is to see it live on a Solana token you know. Paste any mint below to run a public Launch Score.
