- Consensus Protocol Upgrade: Solana plans to launch the new consensus protocol Alpenglow, which is expected to reduce transaction finalization time from 12-13 seconds to 100-150 milliseconds, significantly enhancing transaction speed and user experience, thereby solidifying its competitive edge in the blockchain space.
- Enhanced Network Security: Alpenglow offers a “20+20” resilience feature, ensuring network safety even if 20% of validation nodes act maliciously or are offline, which is likely to attract more users' trust in the Solana ecosystem and elevate its market position.
- Firedancer Client Release: Solana is set to release the Firedancer validator client, which achieved a processing capacity of up to 1 million transactions per second in testing, significantly improving transaction processing efficiency while its enhanced bug resistance will reduce system failures and improve overall stability.
- Hybrid Software Operation: Currently, Solana is running a hybrid software known as Frankendancer, which combines elements of Firedancer and Agave, with a full release expected to further optimize network performance and attract more developers and users to its ecosystem.
