Alpenglow Update Accelerates Transaction Finalization in Solana

The Solana network has launched the major Alpenglow update, which fundamentally changes its consensus mechanism. This event marks a transition to a new stage in the ecosystem's development.

A key result of implementing Alpenglow is a radical reduction in transaction finalization time. The metric will drop from the previous 12.8 seconds to 100–150 milliseconds.

Thus, the speed of processing operations in the network will increase by approximately 100 times. This significantly improves the platform's efficiency and responsiveness for users and developers.
