Solana’s developers are pushing a major consensus overhaul with the Alpenglow’s proposal, now at the validator’s voting stadium.
On Thursday, just over 10% of validators supported the upgrade of European hours in the morning, a tracking tracker, with more than 88% of participants eligible to make their choice.
If it is adopted, it would replace the proof of history and the tower with a faster and more resilient design centered on two new components: Votor and Rotor.
The proof of history is the existing consensual mechanism of Solana. Horodatotes computer transactions, allowing validators to determine the correct order without wasting time on synchronization (which creates a slower network). Towerbft is the network voting system. Validators use previous votes as a guide, helping them quickly agree with the next block while resisting attacks.
The large draw in the new Votor consensus proposal, which would reduce the time necessary for a transaction to be finalized more than 12 seconds to around 150 milliseconds, which makes network confirmations effectively instant for users.
Rotor, planned for a later step, aims to make the network more effective by reducing the number of times the data must be transferred between validators – an upgrade designed to support high -activity applications, such as DEFI and the game.
Alpenglow also introduces a “20 + 20” resilience model, which promises to keep the chain on the move, even if 20% of validators are contradictory and that 20% additional are offline.
The proposal supervises this as a step towards the realization of faster speeds while improving safety and equity for validators.
