Solana's Alpenglow Goes Live, but SOL Falls 4% After Upgrade
- —Alpenglow cuts Solana finality from 12.8 seconds to about 150 ms
- —SOL is down 4% since the upgrade went live on Oct. 21
- —Network revenue was $141 million in H1 2026 vs. $1.09 billion a year earlier
- —Network fees fell 44% quarter over quarter in Q2 2026
Why it matters: The upgrade improves infrastructure but does not fix falling revenue and fees, leaving the market focused on activity growth rather than speed alone.
