According to CoinDesk, Solana's core development company Anza announced that the Alpenglow consensus upgrade has been activated on the developer network Devnet, following the Testnet switch on September 24. This upgrade aims to reduce transaction finalization time from approximately 12.8 seconds to around 150 milliseconds by enabling validators to exchange votes directly and reach consensus within one to two voting rounds, providing application teams with a testing environment before mainnet launch. Currently, the 150-millisecond target is based on simulations and has yet to be validated under real market conditions, and the mainnet launch date is still undecided. https://(wublock123.com)/news/anza-solana-alpenglow-consensus-upgrade-activated-on-devnet-69048
