Alpenglow sets a 150-millisecond finality target

Galaxy wrote on October 20, 2026, that Solana's Alpenglow upgrade is scheduled to activate on October 21, 2026, at the start of epoch 1064. The upgrade changes how validators agree on blocks, and its target is 150 milliseconds for finality, the point at which a transaction becomes irreversible.

The change replaces the existing validator voting process with a system designed to move votes off the blockchain. Galaxy said a flat 0.8 SOL per-epoch fee replaces per-vote costs and that its validators had run Alpenglow on a community test cluster since June 2026. The 0.8 SOL requirement applies to validator operations rather than ordinary wallet transfers.

Target performance remains separate from live results

CCN reported on October 15, 2026, that the 150-millisecond figure is an engineering target based on simulations rather than verified mainnet performance. The report said results will depend on network conditions, validator participation and implementation performance, giving the upgrade a defined technical objective without treating it as a guaranteed outcome.

Spot Solana funds record 25.5 million USD outflows

EconoTimes reported on October 18, 2026, updated October 20, that U.S. spot Solana exchange-traded funds recorded 25.5 million USD in net outflows across the five sessions through October 16, 2026, according to Farside Investors' daily flow table. The report said withdrawals occurred in all 10 sessions from October 5 through October 16, while October 2 recorded the only inflow in that period.

The flow figures measure net cash entering and leaving the funds and do not identify which holders redeemed shares or what prompted the transactions, EconoTimes reported on October 18, 2026. This places the fund-flow data alongside the network upgrade as a separate dated market indicator.
