【News】Solana’s mainnet has reportedly activated the Alpenglow upgrade, rolled out by Anza around slot 459,653,000, around October 21. It replaces the original TowerBFT consensus mechanism, reducing transaction finality from about 12.8 seconds to roughly 150 milliseconds. The upgrade also brings slot times of about 200 milliseconds, larger transaction capacity, and lower costs, targeting real-time use cases such as payments and trading. It does not change wallets or the fee structure. Meanwhile, the market is watching SOL’s pullback to around $101 and discussions of key support levels.
