Solana will activate its Alpenglow upgrade on October 21, replacing the TowerBFT consensus mechanism used since 2020. The upgrade targets transaction finality within 150 milliseconds by altering validator agreement processes. This transition is planned for epoch 1064 and requires the Agave 4.3.0 software. Alternative validator clients will not support the initial migration.
