Solana Moves Alpenglow to Public Testnet, Targeting 150ms Finality
- —Alpenglow replaces TowerBFT with the Votor voting protocol in Anza's Agave 4.3 client
- —Target finality is about 150 milliseconds versus the current 12.8 seconds
- —Votor uses a fast path at 80% stake and a fallback path at 60%
- —Network fault tolerance rises from about 33% to 40%
Why it matters: Faster finality cuts settlement delays for payments and trading on Solana and sharpens competition among L1 networks.
