[Delphi Digital: Solana Upgrade Alpenglow Scheduled for Launch in 2026]
Delphi Digital stated on the X platform that Solana is preparing for a major upgrade called Alpenglow, which is planned to roll out gradually from early to mid-2026. This upgrade will restructure the consensus mechanism and introduce two new components: Votor and Rotor. Votor adopts a lightweight vote aggregation model, theoretically reducing finality latency to 100-150 milliseconds, approximately 100 times faster than the original 12.8 seconds. Rotor optimizes the block propagation layer, achieving a fastest propagation time of 18 milliseconds.
