$SOL Alpenglow upgrade is scheduled for October 21, 2026, with the goal of reducing transaction finality to just 150 milliseconds.
It will replace the current TowerBFT system with a new protocol called Votor, helping validators reach agreement faster and allowing transactions to be confirmed almost instantly.
The upgrade also aims to reduce the space used by validator votes, leaving more room for regular transactions.
If successfully launched, Alpenglow could make Solana more efficient for payments, trading and decentralized applications.
This improvement will help the network handle activity faster while keeping its existing transaction execution and fee structure unchanged.
