⚡ $SOL launches a new consensus Alpenglow: finalization in 150 ms, up to 200K TPS

🔧 $SOL introduced Alpenglow — a completely new consensus that replaces TowerBFT and Proof-of-History. This is the most significant network upgrade in its entire history.

What's in it:

— 🧠 New Votor module for instant voting among validators

— 📡 Rotor protocol replaces Turbine, sharply increasing data propagation speed

— ⚡ Block finalization — 100–150 ms

— 🚀 Performance — up to 200,000 TPS

— 🛡 The network is resilient to failures of up to 40% of nodes

💡 Solana effectively reaches Web2-level responsiveness while maintaining decentralization. This makes it a top candidate for high-frequency DeFi, games, AI protocols, and real fintech integrations.

If Alpenglow confirms the claimed metrics in real-world conditions, $SOL will strengthen its position as the leading L1 platform of the next cycle.
