Alpenglow is live! ⛰️ A transaction becoming final in 150 milliseconds is hard to wrap your head around when so much of finance still runs on business days. Congrats to @anza_xyz and the entire @solana ecosystem. Time for policy to keep pace! anza.xyz/alpenglow

Solana just got faster than the average human blink. Alpenglow brings finality from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds 🤯 What does this mean? - Payment and trading applications are even more responsive - Better user experience for merchants accepting payments or exchanges crediting deposits @solana is infra for finance, and Alpenglow brings the deterministic settlement speed traditional finance requires.

Solana's tech was already #1 for scaled crypto use cases. With Alpenglow, Solana is now light years ahead. The audacity to replace the core mechanisms of the network while handling thousands of live TPS is uniquely Solana. Congrats to the @anza_xyz team on shipping.

In 2022, Ethereum shipped The Merge, migrating its consensus protocol from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake. It was an engineering feat 7 years in the making. Today is @solana’s Merge. Shoutout to the engineers at @anza_xyz for shipping Alpenglow in a fraction of the time.

Alpenglow is now live on Solana mainnet. ⛰️ Finality just went from ~12.8 seconds to ~150ms. The biggest consensus upgrade in Solana’s history, built by @anza_xyz.

huge accomplishment. congrats @bw_solana, the entire @anza_xyz team, many of whom have been grinding nonstop since years before the network went live and any of this was validated as being worth anything in a crowded landscape. engineers relentlessly improving performance.

Alpenglow is live! It's been a crazy grind over the past 20 months bringing this to mainnet. Huge shoutout to the Anza engineering team, @TheWattenhofer and the research team, the Anza security team, all our auditors and bug bounty participants. And of course the validator operators who spent countless hours with their own hardware to help us test and bring this to mainnet. We couldn't have done this without you all! Lets AlpenGO.

So how’s Alpenglow feeling? Anyone shoot a transaction yet?
