Solana completed the Alpenglow consensus migration on its public testnet at slot 444625255 on Sept. 24, 2026, replacing TowerBFT with Votor and moving validator votes off-chain. The upgrade targets roughly 150-millisecond finality versus about 12.8 seconds previously, but devnet and mainnet-beta dates remain unannounced. A separate weekly roundup reported SOL at $122 as Bitcoin reclaimed $86,000, and listed a ZetaChain vote to shut down its L1 and move to Solana, along with a linked claim involving CryptoPunks, Boogles and zkSNARKs.
