Finality is the moment a transaction becomes irreversible, and under TowerBFT that currently takes about 12.8 seconds.
With finality at around 150ms, the irreversible answer arrives almost as fast as the optimistic one, which is what a checkout counter taking SOL or…
The feature gate turns on as epoch 1064 begins, yet TowerBFT stays in charge for another 5,000 slots, roughly 18 minutes, before Alpenglow takes control…

AI analysisAlpenglow marks a significant improvement in Solana's transaction finality time, reducing it from 12.8 seconds to around 150 milliseconds. This enhancement is crucial for applications requiring near-instant confirmations and will likely boost user confidence and adoption of SOL on the network.
Alpenglow will be fully live on Solana's mainnet-beta by October 21, significantly reducing transaction finality time from 12.8 seconds to around 150 milliseconds.
- Alpenglow going live at slot 459,653,000
- Validator admission tickets being paid with 0.8 SOL per epoch
- Finality time crossing 150 milliseconds
