RT Anza (@anza_xyz)1/ The governance process has begun for SIMD-0326: Alpenglow. Alpenglow is a new consensus protocol for Solana, replacing Proof-of-History and TowerBFT. It aims to reduce block finality from 12.8s to 150ms 🧵 ...

few crazy facts about Solana's new consensus protocol- finality gets 100x faster (just 100ms), this is the fastest for any L1- shred propagation takes only 20ms!! meaning faster pre-confs and advanced trading- votes are removed so validator profitability increases + TPS https://t.co/47R7GlVD6p ...
