The post How Solana Intends to Become an Even Stronger Competitor in the Blockchain Space appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana is preparing for a major overhaul that could make its famously fast blockchain even faster — and a lot easier to run. In its “Crypto Monthly Recap for September 2025” research report published Oct. 3, global asset manager VanEck says Solana’s upcoming Alpenglow upgrade marks the biggest change to the network’s core software since launch. The firm calls it “the largest upgrade to Solana’s consensus in its history,” pointing to six key changes that together promise faster performance, lower costs, and greater reliability. For readers less familiar with Solana’s design, Alpenglow essentially changes how the network’s thousands of validators agree on which transactions are valid. That process, known as consensus, is being streamlined so data moves through the system more efficiently and validators can operate with less friction. What VanEck highlighted Faster finality. Today, Solana takes around 12 seconds to finalize a transaction, meaning to confirm it permanently. Alpenglow cuts that to about 150 milliseconds — roughly the time it takes to blink. Faster finality makes trades, payments and app interactions feel instantaneous, bringing Solana closer to web-level responsiveness. Off-chain voting. Validators currently vote on every new block by submitting thousands of small transactions on-chain. That keeps the network secure but clogs bandwidth. Alpenglow moves voting off-chain, letting validators exchange votes privately and later post a single proof. This clears space for regular user transactions and helps keep network fees low. Simpler validator costs. Instead of paying transaction fees for every vote, validators will submit a single Validator Admission Ticket each cycle. This reduces costs and makes it easier for smaller operators to run validators, which strengthens decentralization and network security. Streamlined communication. Solana’s nodes constantly share messages to stay in sync, a process known as “gossip.” Alpenglow reduces this background traffic so validators spend less time and bandwidth…
