🚀 Solana is gearing up for a historic breakthrough: from seconds to milliseconds, starting today!
​Today, October 21 at 16:20 Kyiv time, the Solana blockchain will make the most important technological leap in its history. The network is officially switching to a new consensus system — Alpenglow.
​🔥 What does this change in practice?
​The update’s main feature is lightning-fast transaction finalization (finality).
​Before: ~12.8 seconds
​After: just ~150 milliseconds!
​To put that into perspective: 150 milliseconds is faster than the blink of a human eye (which takes about 300 milliseconds). dApps, DEXs, and fund transfers will work almost instantly, blurring the line between blockchain and the familiar Web2 interface.
​💡 What do regular users need to do?
​Absolutely nothing!
​Your funds are completely safe.
​Wallets (Phantom, Solflare, etc.) and decentralized applications will continue to work as usual.
​All updates are happening at the network architecture level.
​⏱ The countdown has begun: Let’s wait until 16:20 Kyiv time to test the true speed of the future!
