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.

Alpenglow is live on mainnet-beta ⛰️ 🎉 Solana’s new consensus protocol: finality reduced from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, built by Anza. Why this is important 🧵

🚨 Alpenglow update: epoch 1064 on mainnet-beta is tracking earlier than our estimate. Slots are running faster than projected, which pulls the epoch boundary forward. We’ll share an updated countdown time tomorrow morning once more data is in. Here is why timing moves. 🧵

It’s time. Alpenglow goes live on mainnet-beta Wednesday, October 21, ~14:50 UTC. 18 months of work for a migration that happens in one slot. Finality drops from seconds to ~150ms. Make sure to follow us @anza_xyz as we countdown to go-live. Details: anza.xyz/alpenglow

Alpenglow is coming to testnet this week. 🧵 Testnet exercises the exact migration devnet and mainnet-beta will run. The Alpenglow community cluster rehearsed the migration numerous times and has been running Alpenglow for over 4 months.  Now Alpenglow moves to the formal activation path.

wincode has surpassed 5M downloads 📦📈 Our Rust crate started as a fix for serialization performance in the Agave validator client. RustSec now lists it as a recommended bincode replacement. Built to make Solana faster, now adopted across the Rust community. Credit to Anza IBRL engineering culture who keep pushing the envelope on speed.
