  • Solana's Alpenglow Upgrade Enters Community Testing Ahead of Mainnet Launch
    May 12, 2026, 8:29 PM EDT. Solana's major protocol upgrade, Alpenglow, began community validator testing, marking a critical step toward its mainnet deployment anticipated in Q3 or Q4 2024. Developed by Anza, Alpenglow aims to greatly enhance network speed by refining Solana's consensus mechanism, towerBFT, significantly reducing transaction finality times. The upgrade, approved by 98% of validators in September 2023, promises snappier app performance and faster deposit credits on exchanges. After successful internal tests involving 45 node clusters, external community testing commenced Monday on the Agave test cluster. Despite earlier hopes for a Q1 launch, the timeline has shifted later in the year. Analysts suggest this upgrade could drive Solana's price toward $250 by 2025, from its current $97.45 level, while its price has risen 14.7% in the past month.
