Anza Sets Oct. 21 for Solana's Alpenglow Mainnet Upgrade

  • —Alpenglow activates on Solana mainnet on Oct. 21
  • —The upgrade targets 150-millisecond transaction finality
  • —Validators and block-data providers must update software beforehand
Why it matters: Cutting finality to 150 ms strengthens Solana's hand in DeFi and payments, but requires coordinated infrastructure upgrades across the network.
