$STKE Friendly reminder; Alpenglow upgrade (scheduled for mainnet around October 21, 2026): Solana’s biggest change since launch. It aims to cut finality from ~12.8 seconds to about 150 milliseconds (roughly 85–99% faster), moves validator votes off-chain (freeing substantial block space), and adjusts validator economics. It does not change the execution environment for most apps. A successful rollout could strengthen Solana’s advantages in speed and payments/DeFi use cases.
