and because it just works, you don't have to
"anza just launched alpenglow, the most substantial tech change since solana's inception" "incredible this changes everything" "do you know what alpenglow does?" "no, do you?" "no"

everything is insecure you’re going to need to: - fab your own chips for your devices - develop a personal software stack on a bespoke ISA - avoid PHP, Typescript or Go - lay your own personal undersea cables (if applicable) only then will you be safe from CVE hellscape

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.
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 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 🧵

For its first 6 weeks on mainnet, Solana's governance program had a bug: any validator could silently erase its delegators' dissenting votes. Without the fix, SGP-0002 would have failed by 0.02 percentage points. We found it with Crucible. Full writeup ↓
