SOLANA approved the Alpenglow update, which will speed up transactions and improve network performance. Developers and investors consider it the most significant change in the history of blockchain.
On the same day, the price of Solana increased by 6.5%, reaching $ 210. Traiders positively reacted to the voting results. Analysts believe that updating can contribute to the growth of popularity and strengthening the trust of institutional investors.
98% of the validators supported Alpenglow update
The management process ended on Tuesday with active participation, exceeding the quorum threshold by 33%. According to SOLANA Foundation, 98.27% of the vote supported the offer, 1.05% were against, and 0.69% abstained.
The validators voted on the SIMD-0326-a proposal to improve SOLANA, developed by Anza Research Company, which introduced Alpenglow. The protocol replaces Towerbft and Proof-OF-History with Votor and Rotor: two components created to increase efficiency and stability.
SOLANA update will reduce the finalization time of transactions from 12.8 seconds to about 100-150 milliseconds. This is a significant step forward, which brings Solana brings to the velocities of Web2 and allows you to faster and safer to hold deposits on exchanges.
Alpenglow represents Votor- a direct voting system that accelerates the finalization of blocks to an almost instant level using one- or two-day processes. Rotor replaces Proof-OF-History, controlling the temporary tags of validators and accelerating data transfer.
The update reduces data traffic, allowing validators to exchange voices directly through cryptographic units. This reduces the computing load, improves the use of the passage strip and enhances safety.
The chief economist Anza Max Reznik noted that users will immediately notice changes:
In addition, Alpenglow changes the economic model SOLANA, moving the voting of the validators outside the chain. Instead of sending voting transactions for each slot, validators pay 1.6 SOL for a ticket for the admission of the validator in each era.
This change eliminates the commission for voting, reduces the use of the bandwidth and retains economic barriers that ensure the safety of validators.
SOL Forecast: Waiting for a breakthrough above $ 215
After the news, the price of SOLANA increased by 6.5% in 24 hours to $ 209. This growth has exceeded the restoration of bitcoin by 2.1% and Ethereum by 0.6% for the same period.
Analysts believe that the update will make Solana more attractive to developers and institutional investors. Sean Young from MexC Research expects SOL to grow to $ 215 by the end of September and to $ 250 by the end of the year due to technical improvements and institutional treasury assets exceeding $ 1.7 billion.
Alpenglow will be launched on the test network to the Solana Breakpoint conference in December 2025, and the full launch on the main network is planned in the first quarter of 2026.
