Solana developer Anza announced that its Alpenglow consensus protocol had gone live on Solana mainnet-beta, according to a BlockBeats report. The announcement was attributed to Anza; the status was not independently verified here.
Confirmation time reported at 150 milliseconds
BlockBeats said Alpenglow reduced transaction final confirmation time from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds. The flash also reported that an Alpenglow genesis block had been generated and that Solana’s previous TowerBFT consensus mechanism had retired.
The timing and protocol status are figures and statements relayed from Anza’s announcement, rather than an independent measurement of live mainnet performance.
