Solana's recent Alpenglow upgrade, activated on October 21, changed how transaction totals are calculated by removing vote transactions from block counts. Previously, validators sent votes as transactions, but now votes are sent directly between validators and bundled into certificates, making non-vote transaction counts a more accurate measure of network activity. This change affects comparisons of transaction volumes before and after the upgrade, with a public dashboard now showing separate metrics for vote and non-vote transactions. The upgrade also targets a 150-millisecond finality time, distinct from the slot time reduction completed in October.
