The overhaul retires Proof of History's Tower BFT for direct voting, putting Solana's confirmation speed within range of centralized exchange matching engines and opening the door to sub-second DEXes…
Replacing TowerBFT with Votor would move validator voting out of onchain transactions and materially change how Solana activity is reported.
The 150-millisecond target could make Solana payments feel near-instant, but it remains unproven under live-market conditions and has no scheduled mainnet launch.
Faster finality would let exchanges, bridges and merchants treat Solana payments as irreversible almost immediately, with Alpenglow replacing the TowerBFT consensus for one- or two-round voting.
