TechFlow news, May 20 — According to The Block, Anza, a spin-off development studio from Solana Labs, released a whitepaper on May 19 proposing a major protocol upgrade called Alpenglow, described as "the largest change in Solana's core protocol history." This upgrade will replace Solana’s existing Tower BFT proof-of-stake consensus mechanism with a new component called Votor, which processes blocks through parallel voting paths and could theoretically reduce block processing time to 100–150 milliseconds. Another component, Rotor, will optimize the existing block propagation protocol by using single-layer relay nodes to improve bandwidth utilization.
