NEW: @Anza_xyz Alpenglow upgrade goes live on @Solana, cutting finality down to ~150ms. @HypoNyms, co-founder of @harmonic_gg, explained on @_TalkingTokens why speed matters for traders and DeFi protocols: "I think trading is obviously a big one. Those are just more sensitive to really low latency stuff, or any kind of sequencing shenanigans. Milliseconds matter for those guys. But I also think there’s a lot of other protocols where fast inclusion is valuable. For example, what if you’re a borrow-lend that has billions of dollars in TVL, and you want to create some rule that says, when times get really tough, my liquidator transactions, they need to land at any cost."
