Solana’s Anza Proposes ‘Biggest Change’ to Network Consensus with New Alpenglow Protocol

Anza, a Solana blockchain infrastructure firm formed by the parent company Solana Labs, has announced a new proof-of-stake consensus mechanism called Alpenglow that promises significant changes to the network. The team claims Alpenglow will be “the biggest change to Solana’s core protocol since the inception of the network,” and aims to directly compete with internet infrastructure in terms of responsiveness.
