Официальные данные Solana показывают, что в августе объем обработанных транзакций достиг 5 миллиардов, что превышает сумму транзакций всех других блокчейн-сетей, что соответствует более чем 100 000 транзакций в минуту, при этом сохраняя значительно более низкие комиссии по сравнению с другими публичными цепочками.Кроме того, обновление Alpenglow, направленное на значительное увеличение скорости подтверждения сети, ожидается в октябре этого года и, как ожидается, сократит время подтверждения транзакций с примерно 12 секунд до 400 миллисекунд.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, согласно отчету CryptoSlate, исследователи из USENIX Security открыто раскрыли уязвимость атаки на часы в механизме исторического доказательства (PoH) Solana, о которой было сообщено команде разработчиков Solana еще в декабре 2025 года. Исследование показывает, что злонамеренные планировщики лидеров могут манипулировать логическими часами PoH через "перепривязку", замедляя продвижение логического времени, что позволяет им получить более длинное окно выбора транзакций в физическом времени и изолировать блоки честных лидеров с помощью механизма выбора разветвлений TowerBFT, при этом требуемая доля залога для атакующего составляет менее 33%.Безопасный конкурс Alpenglow с призовым фондом в 50 000 SOL от Anza завершился 19 августа, но из-за того, что правила конкурса исключают "действия, которые могут быть инициированы только при неактивном Alpenglow", эта уязвимость не была включена в область оценки. Команда разработчиков Solana заявила, что осведомлена о соответствующих действиях, считает, что вероятность наиболее серьезного сценария в текущих условиях низка, и ожидает, что обновление Alpenglow сможет в корне устранить предпосылки для атаки. В настоящее время код Alpenglow уже включен в клиент Agave 4.2, но еще не активирован в основной сети, ожидается, что он будет официально запущен вместе с Agave 4.3. До этого момента риск переходного периода этой уязвимости все еще не получил публичного анализа и ответа на уровне реализации.

According to CoinDesk, the Solana core development team Anza announced that a major consensus mechanism upgrade codenamed Alpenglow has gone live on the community test network, allowing validators to switch from the current Proof-of-Stake + Proof-of-History + TowerBFT architecture to the new consensus framework in the test cluster.The upgrade aims to significantly shorten transaction finality time and improve network response efficiency by restructuring the validator communication and block confirmation process. This test marks that validators can now perform the "Alpenswitch" migration operation in a real environment. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko previously stated that if the testing goes smoothly, Alpenglow is expected to be deployed to the mainnet as early as next quarter.

According to CoinDesk, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko stated at Consensus Miami 2026 that the major upgrade of the Solana network, "Alpenglow," is expected to be launched this year, possibly as early as next quarter.Yakovenko said that the Alpenglow upgrade aims to bring transaction confirmation speeds close to the physical limit of "light speed," enhancing the network's speed, reliability, and transaction certainty, shifting from Solana's early innovations to a more mature phase focused on performance guarantees and reliability. This is crucial for time-sensitive applications such as financial applications.

Delphi Digital posted on platform X that Solana is preparing for a major upgrade called Alpenglow. This upgrade is a complete overhaul of the consensus mechanism, aiming to achieve sub-second finality by replacing Tower BFT and Proof of History (PoH).Alpenglow introduces two new protocol components: Votor and Rotor. Votor replaces the incremental voting rounds of Tower BFT with a lightweight voting aggregation model. Validators can aggregate votes off-chain before submitting the final confirmation, allowing blocks to achieve finality within 1 to 2 confirmation rounds. This improvement reduces the theoretical finality delay to 100 to 150 milliseconds, shortening it by about 100 times from the original 12.8 seconds.Votor achieves finality through two parallel paths: when a proposed block receives over 80% of the total staked weight in the first round, it triggers fast confirmation and takes effect immediately; if the support rate is between 60% and 80% in the first round, it triggers slow confirmation, requiring a second round of voting to exceed 60% for final confirmation.Rotor reconfigures Solana's block propagation layer. The original Turbine propagation network relied on multi-hop relays with variable delays, while Rotor introduces a staked-weight relay path that prioritizes bandwidth efficiency. Validators with high stakes and reliable bandwidth will become core relay points. Simulation data shows that under typical bandwidth conditions, block propagation can be completed in as fast as 18 milliseconds. This upgrade is expected to be rolled out gradually, with an initial launch timeframe anticipated between early to mid-2026.

StarGlow will hold its first offline event "THE FIRST GLOW MEET-UP" in Seoul on November 21, marking the official launch of its GLOW AUDITION. The event will invite K-POP artists, fans, and the Web3 community to participate, including individual artist interviews, project ecosystem introductions, industry交流 sessions, and will provide a total of over $15,000 in airdrop rewards and multiple on-site lottery benefits.RootData will participate as a partner in this event and will work with StarGlow to promote content development and community interaction in the K-POP × Web3 scene.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Marinade Labs CEO Michael Repetny stated that the Solana ecosystem is preparing for an upgrade by the end of this year or early 2026, with future plans to lower the validator entry threshold after the Alpenglow upgrade, while increasing bandwidth and reducing latency.

ChainCatcher news, Solana's new consensus protocol Alpenglow proposal SIMD-0326 has entered the community governance phase. Alpenglow aims to reduce the block finalization time from 12.8s to nearly 150ms. The proposal will enter the voting phase during Epochs 840~420 (currently at 834, with one Epoch being approximately 2 days). The voting rule is that the proportion of affirmative votes must reach 2/3 of the total votes (affirmative + negative) to pass.

ChainCatcher news, blockchain solar company Glow has completed a $30 million financing round, led by Framework and Union Square Ventures. This round includes $6.5 million in funding for the company and $23.5 million in solar investments.Glow's CEO and co-founder Vorick stated that he plans to use this funding to expand the company from 5 megawatts of power to 600 megawatts over the next 18 months and to expand into new countries.Glow operates a DePIN network composed of solar power plants in the United States and India. To encourage its farms to move beyond the "dirty" energy grid, the founders designed a holistic economy based on subsidies and token incentive models.
