Solana is replacing its entire consensus layer, removing Tower BFT and Turbine in favor of a new system called Alpenglow.
With upgrades like this, the money usually isn’t made on launch day. The key is one thing: confirmation latency needs to come down. If market makers and high-frequency users are willing to stay on-chain, fees and activity can recover. The play has two stages: from the announcement until mainnet launch, trade the expectations; after launch, watch only the on-chain data. If fees and active addresses don’t follow, exit.
Current price: 105.31. The 100 level is the floor for expectations—if it breaks, that means the market isn’t pricing in this narrative. A move above 112 would show that money is starting to recognize it. $SOL
For upgrades like this, do you usually trade spot or futures?
