BlockBeats News: On May 20th, according to The Block, Anza, a development studio spun off from Solana Labs, announced what they called the "biggest change in Solana's core protocol history. According to the announcement, this high-throughput Layer 1 blockchain will usher in a newly designed underlying architecture called Alpenglow.
Quentin Kniep, Kobi Sliwinski, and Roger Wattenhofer of Anza wrote in a white paper released on Monday: 'We believe the release of Alpenglow will be a turning point for Solana.'. Alpenglow is not only a new consensus protocol, but also the biggest change in Solana's core protocol since its inception. ''
This upgrade will replace Solana's existing TowerBFT proof of stake consensus mechanism and historical proof timestamp system with new components called Votor and Rotor.
