Alpenglow Upgrade

Medium6.0

Description

The protocol upgrade targets Agave v4.2 around August, bringing 150ms confirmation times, removing onchain vote transactions, and raising tolerance for offline stake to 40%.

Why it matters

The upgrade directly targets Solana’s confirmation speed, validator overhead, and resilience when stake is offline, giving the network a materially stronger performance profile. Its August timing is estimated and the changes are not yet live, so the event sets a meaningful expectation without delivering the full re-rate today.
