Speed becomes meaningful only when it unlocks new possibilities. Here's the thing—most real-time applications built on Solana still run into latency bottlenecks. The chain performs, but the user experience? It breaks before the infrastructure does.

This is where ephemeral rollups change the game. They compress execution to under 50 milliseconds, eliminating friction at every level:

• Zero gas fees attached
• Fully integrated with Solana, no layering complexity
• Direct execution—no bridge mechanics needed

When latency stops being a constraint, developers can architect experiences that simply weren't possible before. That's the real difference.
