Solana's transaction count drops after Alpenglow as votes leave the ledger
- —All five samples showed 949,461 transactions, all of them non-vote
- —Post-change throughput measured 3,165 transactions per second
- —Slot time fell to 213 ms from about 400 ms before Alpenglow
- —Observed finality was 404 ms against the advertised 150 ms
Why it matters: The drop reflects a change in counting, not a network failure, but developers and exchanges must recalibrate dashboards and alerts.
