20.3% of Solana validators unprepared ahead of Alpenglow consensus upgrade

A snapshot on Oct. 20 revealed that 20.3% of Solana validators, representing staked SOL, were unprepared for the upcoming Alpenglow consensus upgrade scheduled for Oct. 21. The upgrade will replace the TowerBFT voting system with Alpenglow, aiming to reduce transaction finality time from about 12.8 seconds to near 150 milliseconds. Validators must meet specific technical requirements to participate, and those without a registered BLS key are excluded from consensus. The transition's exact impact depends on how many validators complete their setup before the epoch begins.

Solana validators with 20.3% of stake flagged before the Alpenglow upgrade provide context for crypto market activity. For readers following major cryptocurrencies on Pluang as of Oct 21, 2026 00:22 WIB, 44 of 50 major cryptos rose while 5 fell. Notable movers include SXP (Solar) down 46.27% to Rp37, COMP (Compound) up 21.54% to Rp469,285 with 68% buy orders, and THETA (Theta Network) up 18.49% to Rp3,992 with 100% sell orders.
