Solana to Activate Alpenglow on September 28: Transaction Confirmation to Speed Up to 0.1 Seconds

  • Alpenglow will replace Solana's current consensus on September 28
  • Transaction confirmation will speed up from ~13 seconds to 0.1 seconds
  • Transaction V1 went live on September 9: the limit rose from 1,232 to 4,096 bytes
  • Solana DEXes surpassed $3 trillion in cumulative volume
Why it matters: Faster network performance could boost Solana's competitiveness, but SOL's price growth depends on real demand, not just speed.
