Solana's Alpenglow aims to significantly reduce block confirmation times from 13 seconds to just 0.1 seconds. This initiative is projected for implementation between late 2025 and early 2026 and could support applications like real-time payments and gaming.
Endorsed by Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, Alpenglow seeks to enhance responsiveness through a new consensus mechanism, pushing Solana’s capabilities closer to centralized systems.
The upgrade is expected to expand Solana’s reach in DeFi and gaming by improving throughput, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape for blockchain technology.
