The boldest step yet Solana has always pitched itself as the blockchain for speed. With Alpenglow, it’s attempting a quantum leap.Validators have voted overwhelmingly in favor of the upgrade, with almost 99% support across the network. If successfully implemented, Alpenglow is expected to reduce transaction finality from roughly 12.8 seconds to just 100 to 150 milliseconds.That’s close to a hundred times faster than current speeds and well within the range of internet benchmarks most people take for granted.To put that into perspective, a Google search averages about 200 ms. Payment processors like Visa settle card transactions in a similar timeframe.…

Opinion by: Houston Morgan, head of growth and business development at ShapeShiftCrypto was never supposed to turn out like this. The promise was decentralization, self-sovereignty and the end of gatekeepers. Far too many crypto firms still worship personalities and momentum rather than implementing fair governance and structure.The irony is stark. A movement built to eliminate central points of failure or control has repeatedly been derailed by its own leadership. The same story repeats from exchange founders being treated like visionaries to DeFi builders rigging token votes for personal gain. One person’s influence is allowed to outweigh the system. When that…

Avalanche’s recent momentum has been undercut by concerns about its validator spread and sustainability, and the latest Avalanche (AVAX) technical setup still shows hesitation at key resistance levels.

While others are still talking about upgrades, BlockDAG has switched on account abstraction within its upcoming Awakening Testnet on September 25. With early groundwork for smart accounts, gasless transactions, and…
Arthur Hayes believes the macro domino that sends Bitcoin to $1 million has just tipped. In a post on X late Monday, the BitMEX co-founder argued that the US Federal Reserve is preparing markets for “yield curve control” (YCC) under what he called a “third mandate,” pointing to the confirmation of economist Stephen Miran to the Fed’s Board of Governors and a fresh Bloomberg report raising the same specter. “With Fed board member Miran now confirmed, the MSM is preparing the world for the Fed’s ‘third mandate’ which is essentially yield curve control. LFG! YCC -> $BTC = $1m,” Hayes…
