Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko said the industry is "not ready" for Alpenglow, the blockchain’s next major upgrade. Earlier, engineers at Anza had already migrated Solana’s developer network to the Alpenglow consensus protocol. The upgrade is set to change how blocks are processed on the network. Its stated goal is to cut transaction finality from about 12.8 seconds to a range of 100 to 150 milliseconds. The remarks point to caution around a technical change that is designed to materially reduce confirmation times on Solana. The update, as described in the source, has already reached the developer network stage through Anza’s migration work.
