ok so alpenglow is actually insane

replacing solana's entire consensus engine mid-flight:

• removing proof of history completely

• new votor/rotor system = 100-150ms finality

• validator req drops from 4850 to 450 sol

• 2x blockspace + app specific sequencing

• zk compression v2 making tokens 70% more efficient

testing starts end of 2025

this is basically swapping a rubber band for a combustion engine without stopping the car
