Anza: the engineering team behind Solana's Alpenglow upgrade with 150ms finality
- —Alpenglow replaced TowerBFT, cutting finality from 12.8 seconds to about 150ms
- —Anza was founded in January 2024 by former Solana Labs executives, led by CEO Brennan Watt
- —Anza maintains the Agave validator client and is developing the Rotor project
- —Quantumglow is hash-based signature research with no confirmed release date
Why it matters: Faster finality could unlock applications previously impractical on Solana and sharpen its competition with Ethereum and L2 networks.
