Alpenglow | Crypto

Solana’s first major consensus upgrade is targeting 99% finality reduction, seeking to offer users near-immediate transaction settlement and more responsive applications. Solana’s first major consensus upgrade, Alpenglow, went live on mainnet around 1:54 pm UTC on Wednesday, according to the Solana Foundation’s Alpenglow dashboard. Alpenglow seeks to reduce transaction finality by 99%, to roughly 150 milliseconds from about 12.8 seconds, according to the Solana Foundation’s July announcement. The upgrade’s first phase, Votor, replaces the existing voting and finalization mechanism with direct validator voting and a certificate-based system designed to cut transaction finality to roughly 150 milliseconds. A later phase will introduce Rotor, a new block data-distribution protocol intended to replace Turbine. Read more

Alpenglow will replace the voting system Solana has used since 2020, targeting roughly 150-millisecond finality after months of testing that included a failed migration and rollback.

The final SIMD-0525 step halves Solana’s original slot-time target, shortening leader windows and epochs while per-slot budgets keep work capacity roughly steady. The post Solana doubles block production speed to 200ms as network prepares for Alpenglow upgrade appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Solana’s Alpenglow upgrade promises 100-150 ms transaction finality — faster than a Google search. Explore how this leap could transform DeFi. Solana has always pitched itself as the blockchain for speed. With Alpenglow, it’s attempting a quantum leap. Validators have voted overwhelmingly in favor of the upgrade, with almost 99% support across the network. If successfully implemented, Alpenglow is expected to reduce transaction finality from roughly 12.8 seconds to just 100 to 150 milliseconds. Read more

The Solana overhaul is expected to decrease transaction finality to 150 milliseconds — increasing the speed by about 100-fold. After a two-week governance process in which more than half of validators cast votes, Solana is set to be upgraded using the Alpenglow consensus protocol. According to the results of the governance process released on Tuesday, more than 98% voted yes to approve the new consensus protocol for Solana, with a 52% stake participating. The Alpenglow upgrade is expected to reduce the transaction finality to 150 milliseconds from more than 12 seconds, significantly overhauling the ecosystem. Read more
