Solana Labs spin-out Anza has proposed Alpenglow, a new consensus protocol aiming to revolutionize Solana’s speed and efficiency. This upgrade could position Solana as a competitor to traditional internet infrastructure.

  • Alpenglow replaces Solana’s TowerBFT and proof-of-history systems with a new proof-of-stake consensus.
  • The protocol includes Votor for transaction processing and Rotor for faster data dissemination.
  • Anza claims Alpenglow is the biggest core protocol change in Solana’s history, targeting Web2-level speeds.
