Solana proposes Quantumglow post-quantum upgrade without speed loss
- —Alpenglow went live Oct. 21, cutting finality from 12.8 seconds to ~0.15 seconds
- —Quantumglow would replace digital signatures vulnerable to quantum attacks
- —The proposal remains research-stage with no launch date announced
- —Google has set an internal 2029 deadline for post-quantum migration
Why it matters: Quantum risk touches BTC, ETH and the whole market; Solana is trying to address it first without sacrificing throughput.
