Solana’s Alpenglow upgrade, designed around 150-millisecond settlement, has reached its second public test network, according to CoinDesk. The rollout means Alpenglow is now running across both of Solana’s public test networks, creating a testing environment for application teams ahead of a planned switch on the live blockchain. Developers can use the networks to check whether their software works with the upgrade before it is activated on Solana’s main blockchain. The current stage is focused on public testing rather than a live-network change. Alpenglow’s progress is relevant to SOL market participants because the upgrade is intended to alter settlement performance on the Solana blockchain. No live activation date was provided in the source material.
