🚨 SOLANA IS PUSHING THE L1 RACE INTO A NEW FRONT
Alpenglow is being tested with the goal of bringing Solana finality from ~12.8 seconds down to ~150ms.
🔹 ~12.8s → ~150ms finality
🔹 Not just faster—changing how validators reach consensus
If 150ms really holds on mainnet, Solana’s advantage won’t be only about TPS, but the speed of settlement for DEXs, perps, payments, and stablecoins.
In other words: the L1 future may not only compete by “how many transactions it can process,” but by “how fast it can settle.”
