Solana Co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko said the crypto industry is not yet ready for a large-scale network upgrade — Alpenglow.
Anza engineers have already migrated the test network (devnet) to a new protocol. The main feature of Alpenglow is reducing the transaction finality time from 12.8 seconds to a record 100–150 milliseconds.
Despite the blockchain itself being ready, external infrastructure (exchanges, bridges, and custodians) will need time to reconfigure their systems for these speeds. The exact launch date on the mainnet will depend on the readiness of partners.
