Solana's Yakovenko questions Alpenglow build ahead of Oct. 21 migration

  • —Yakovenko: switching the vote program to an ag state machine would have halved development time
  • —Alpenglow migration triggers at epoch 1064, around 13:20 UTC on Oct. 21
  • —Validators will pay a flat 0.8 SOL per epoch, fully burned
  • —Vote transactions will drop from headline TPS, forcing explorers to reset baselines
Why it matters: Alpenglow overhauls Solana's consensus and changes how network activity and validator economics are measured.
