The Solana overhaul is expected to decrease transaction finality to 150 milliseconds \u2014 increasing the speed by about 100-fold. <\/p>\n

After a two-week governance process in which more than half of validators cast votes, Solana is set to be upgraded using the Alpenglow consensus protocol.<\/p>\n

According to the results of the governance process released on Tuesday, more than 98% voted<\/a> yes to approve the new consensus protocol for Solana, with a 52% stake participating. <\/p>\n

The Alpenglow upgrade is expected<\/a> to reduce the transaction finality to 150 milliseconds from more than 12 seconds, significantly overhauling the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt these speeds, Solana could realize Web2-level responsiveness with L1 finality, unlocking new use cases that require both speed and cryptographic certainty,\u201d said<\/a> the Solana Foundation in an Aug. 21 blog post, adding: \u201cThe compounding effect of these initiatives and the many others in the Solana ecosystem is financial infrastructure that operates at internet speed.\u201d<\/p>\n
