Solana ’s core protocol is set for a significant overhaul with the introduction of the Alpenglow upgrade, which targets a reduction in finality time to approximately 150 milliseconds. Currently, the Solana network operates with a finality time of about 12.8 seconds. This update is designed to enhance Solana’s competitiveness with traditional payment systems, potentially attracting more institutional use. Galaxy, a key player in the crypto space, has been testing this major update since its early development stages. Observers should monitor the activation of the Alpenglow upgrade on Solana’s mainnet, which may indicate a pivotal moment for the network.
