SOL SHIPPING 150MS FINALITY WHILE LONGS GET FLUSHED
Alpenglow drops Oct 21.
TowerBFT out. Votor in.
Finality target: ~150ms (from 12.8 seconds).
18 months of work, one-slot hot migration.
Meanwhile SOL sitting ~$104 after the broader long liquidation cascade (hundreds of millions rekt, mostly longs) on sticky inflation data.
Network speed doesn’t wait for CPI prints. Price does.
Alts still lagging. Macro still the boss.
