Reports that Solana’s next-generation consensus protocol, Alpenglow, will be deployed to mainnet on Sept. 28 are false.
Crypto media outlet BeInCrypto reported on Sept. 28 that Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and developer Anza have no plans to rush Alpenglow to mainnet after its recent public test debut.
The Sept. 28 date appears to have stemmed from the feature activation schedule for Agave v4.3, Solana’s validator client. Alpenglow is not explicitly listed in that schedule.
Alpenglow aims to reduce transaction finality time to about 150 milliseconds from the current roughly 12.8 seconds. It remains in the testnet stage, and no specific timeline has been set for a mainnet rollout.
