151 Solana validators holding 20.3% of stake flagged as unprepared for Alpenglow
- —Alpenglow is set to activate on October 21, 2026, at about 13:20 UTC
- —151 validators holding 20.3% of stake fail the upgrade criteria
- —Outdated clients and underfunded vote accounts are the main gaps
- —Votor aims to cut finality from 12.8 seconds to roughly 150 ms
Why it matters: Unprepared validators risk losing voting rights and their delegators' yield, so stakers should verify their operator's readiness.
