on September 11 i wrote that Alpenglow doesn't ship until October. checking my own homework
where it is today:
- the feature gate sits under "Pending Testnet Activation", no epoch set
- no mainnet date announced
- Firedancer and Frankendancer don't support it yet, so the test runs on Agave only
some headlines are running Sept. 28 as the launch
that date is Agave 4.3 turning on features on mainnet in general
CoinDesk: not a confirmed Alpenglow launch date
the testnet doesn't even have an epoch yet. launch day it isn't)
so October was a target. i wrote it like a date. my badđ«Ą
the goal hasn't moved: finality from about 12.8 seconds to 0.15
that's the one $SOL
number i care about more than the price, and i'm not holding any myself
when it lands on mainnet i'll post it here, follow if you want that one
