Solana Upgrade: 85x Faster Transactions
Solana has just launched Alpenglow, its biggest upgrade in history, reducing transaction finality from around 13 seconds to 150 milliseconds. This upgrade makes transactions nearly instant. SOL is currently trading at $107, with little reaction so far. The upgrade makes Solana the fastest major blockchain, and the second part of the upgrade, Rotor, is scheduled to follow.
