#solanaalpenglowupgradetoactivateonoct21
Solana's Alpenglow upgrade activates Oct 21, replacing TowerBFT with Votor to cut transaction finality from ~12.8s to ~150ms—a 99% speed boost. Gas fees and execution remain unchanged. Faster settlement enhances DeFi and payments, though execution throughput (TPS) won't instantly scale. Track real-world metrics post-launch. $SOL
