Solana's major consensus upgrade, Alpenglow, originally expected in August 2026, has been postponed to October 2026 with no fixed activation date. The upgrade replaces the current TowerBFT consensus with a faster Votor algorithm, aiming to reduce transaction finality from 12.8 seconds to about 150 milliseconds. Meanwhile, validators must register a new cryptographic key (BLS pubkey) since July 22, 2026, or risk losing staking rewards without warning. Delegators should verify their validator's reward payouts and consider switching if rewards have stopped. No action is needed from SOL holders for the upgrade itself until the official activation, and beware of scams requesting migrations or key inputs.
