- Solana enters a completely new era with Alpenglow’s release.
- The price always depends on whether the market is buying a vision.
SOLANA (SOL) has secured the highest among the highest L1 thanks to its unique historical architecture, which is transmitted to speed, throughput and cost efficiency. But the situation is increasing.
Behind the scenes, Solana’s developers are expanding their boundaries by changing their protocol levels to unlock serious long -term values. The upcoming Alpenglow Upgrade has been set to reduce the network waiting time by switching to voters and rotors.
However, SOL’s long -term guilty ruling remains. Obviously, the mayor wants more than innovation. I want the result. The question is now: Can Solana can change this technical progress to continuous price measures?
Solana sets a new standard for decentralization.
Of course, Solana’s POH mechanism has already been different from other L1 blockchains.
However, with the ALPENGLOW upgrade, the POH is replaced by two new components (voters and rotors) that make the network faster and more efficiently.
They cut the final time of 12 seconds to about 150 milliseconds. Basically, it is instantaneously consistent with the speed of the centralized system.

It is a big problem. The previous agreement was not able to catch up with centralized technologies for real -time apps such as games and finance. Alpenglow changes this and brings the speed of Solana to the same league.
This can be a key to actually making a distributed network practically every day for a real application. in short, making Solana ”Prepared ” For that next tide To Blockchain use case.
Shaking market protocol development
Solana developers are clearly playing long games that engineer for long -term expansion and performance. Therefore, it provides Solana a clearer technical advantage over other L1.
But in terms of price, SOL is still trapped three months ago. There is no escape and there is no actual exercise.
And whales seem to be losing patience. One major holder just moved more than 186K SOL ($ 23 million) to a coinbase after a 10 -month -long stage. Despite being rewarded more than 11K, they sit in a $ 823K loss.
This shows more and more disconnection. The stagnation can be led by macroeconomic uncertainty or marketism of SOL’s evaluation. Either way, technology is developing faster than emotions.
Meanwhile, retail participation continues to increase, and wallets have more than 0.01 wallets.

According to AMBCRYPTO, if the ALPENGLOW upgrade is provided, some of these small holders can be a long -term investor and the price of the SOL can be suitable.
As a result, short -term volatility can prevent the price, but Alpenglow can be a game changer of Solana’s utility and market value.
