One week with Alpenglow ⛰️
Solana Alpenglow 1-week later 🧵
With Alpenglow now live, Solana is moving faster than ever and we're seeing some interesting changes in how Solana builders are using our infrastructure here at @Alchemy 🧵
Durable nonce deprecation, anyone?
Durable Nonces will be deprecated next year on @solana! 🚨
If you do not want to read the guide, here is a video explaining the new alternatives:
18 days until Scale or Die.
See you soon, London.

Solana apps can now support hardware wallet sign-in via off-chain message signing.
hey @solana_devs off-chain message signing is live. check it out: View article

🚨SOLANA'S 2026 SO FAR, BY THE NUMBERS:
Protocol upgrades:
- Slot times halved from 400ms to 200ms
- Max tx size raised from 1,232 to 4,096 bytes
- Token transfer compute cut 98% with P-Token
- Finality cut from 12.8s to ~150ms with Alpenglow
- Block compute limit raised from 60M to 100M CUs
Adoption:
- RWA holders grew from 126K to 831K
- RWA value grew from $873M to $4.87B
- Tokenised stocks grew from 115 to 2,036
- Spot ETF inflows grew from $766M to $1.6B
That's fast.
Light takes about 134 milliseconds to circle the Earth
With Alpenglow, @solana now reaches finality in about 150 milliseconds.
“The 150 millisecond number is basically the speed of light around the globe.”

Fast today and ready for tomorrow.
Solana has been early to quantum readiness and remains ahead in its preparation.
@anza_xyz's @qkniep and Alex join @nocircuit on The Stack to walk through Solana’s post-quantum path: well-researched, aligned across client teams, and ready to deploy.
Full episode 👇
Solana is ready for quantum & whatever comes next with AI.
Anza's cryptography team is world class.
What would Solana’s consensus look like in a post-quantum world?
Meet Quantumglow: a proposed adaptation of Alpenglow that aims to protect consensus while preserving fast finality.
@jacobvcreech and @qkniep explain how it works. Full video below👇

Alpenglow is live. Everyone is talking about it.
Do you know how it works?
Here's a whiteboarding session to help you understand 👇

The audacity.
OPOS
Solana's tech was already #1 for scaled crypto use cases. With Alpenglow, Solana is now light years ahead.
The audacity to replace the core mechanisms of the network while handling thousands of live TPS is uniquely Solana.
Congrats to the @anza_xyz team on shipping.
