Solana Upgrade Approved by Overwhelming Majority

The Alpenglow upgrade, which aims to revolutionize Solana’s transaction speeds and efficiency, has received a green light. With over 98% of validators voting in favor, the upgrade process concluded with a strong consensus. This significant shift will decrease transaction finality from over 12 seconds to just 150 milliseconds, potentially enabling Solana to match the speed of Web2 applications while maintaining cryptographic security.
