Solana Cuts Finality to 150 Milliseconds
4 min read
On October 21 at 15:00 UTC, Solana activates the Alpenglow upgrade on mainnet, retiring its consensus mechanism to drop finality from roughly 12.8 seconds to a target of about 150 milliseconds. This change makes the network 85 times faster and improves resilience against malicious actors by allowing the system to survive 20% of stake acting maliciously plus another 20% offline.
