The Solana network’s Alpenglow mainnet upgrade is scheduled for activation on October 21. It is expected to significantly improve transaction finality, reducing the time from approximately 12.8 seconds to about 150 milliseconds. The upgrade aims to enhance the system’s resilience and cost efficiency without altering the existing transaction execution or fee structures. As of October 13, Solana’s market value was in the range of $107 to $108, reflecting a decline of about 4-5% over the previous 24 hours.
