Solana just got a glow-up—an Alpenglow-up. 🏔️
Alpenglow fundamentally redesigns Solana's consensus, replacing TowerBFT and retiring Proof of History (PoH), two foundational components of its original architecture, bringing transaction finality down from ~12.8 seconds to a target of just 150 milliseconds.
This isn't just another performance improvement. It's a major architectural leap, moving us closer to truly real-time financial infrastructure.
Huge milestone for @Solana and the entire ecosystem!
Brilliant @anza_xyz !

The biggest consensus upgrade in Solana’s history, built by @anza_xyz.
How long did you say that migration script was going to take? 🤔

How would you manage a team of 5 Software Engineers and 500 Agents?
The interview question I just had. 👇
.@AnthropicAI Agents where merging 30K code changes a day, so they decided to create their git (version control) for agents.
This is Software Engineering in the AI era

Did you know that agents burn an extra token every time they read “mainnet-beta” instead of “mainnet”?
Drop the “-beta”. Agents will thank you, @solana.
