Delphi Digital: Solana is preparing to undergo the Alpenglow upgrade, with theoretical confirmation time reduced by 100x

On January 4, Delphi Digital announced on X that Solana is prepping for a major upgrade dubbed Alpenglow. This is a comprehensive overhaul of the network’s consensus mechanism, aimed at achieving sub-second finality by replacing Tower BFT and Proof of History (PoH). Alpenglow introduces two key protocol components: Votor and Rotor. Votor replaces Tower BFT’s incremental voting rounds with a lightweight vote aggregation model. Validators can aggregate votes off-chain before submitting final confirmations, allowing blocks to finalize in 1–2 confirmation rounds. This cuts theoretical finality latency to 100–150 milliseconds—roughly 100x shorter than the original 12.8 seconds. Votor delivers finality via two parallel paths: - Fast confirmation: Triggers if a proposed block gets over 80% stake-weighted support in the first round, taking immediate effect. - Slow confirmation: Triggers if first-round support is 60–80%, requiring a second-round vote exceeding 60% to finalize. Rotor r

On December 29, Galaxy released 26 crypto predictions for 2026, including these key insights: - Bitcoin is projected to hit $250,000 by 2027, with its price rising gradually.
