Solana Alpenglow is targeting "speed of light" confirmations. Q3 2026 deployment target. What "speed of light" means technically: Sub-150 millisecond finality. Versus current ~12 seconds. What it means for builders: Real-time financial applications that previously required centralized infrastructure can now run on a public blockchain. High-frequency trading. Instant settlement. CEX-level performance in decentralized infrastructure. Korea's Toss Bank running Solana remittance pilot for 30M users — When Alpenglow goes live — those payments become genuinely instant. Not near-instant. Instant. The builders who chose Solana chose the chain that's about to become the fastest financial settlement layer in the world. 🏗️
