Solana Upgrades Consensus with Alpenglow Proposal for Faster Block Finality

Solana is poised to revolutionize its blockchain network by implementing a groundbreaking consensus upgrade called ‘Alpenglow’ through its SIMD 326 proposal. This initiative aims to achieve dramatically faster block finality, reducing latency to just 150ms, and enhancing both performance and security for the Solana ecosystem. The proposed upgrade addresses existing protocol limitations affecting DeFi protocols on the network. The project involves close collaboration between Solana developers and community members. ]
