从 Solana Labs 分拆出来的 Solana 区块链基础设施公司 Anza 提出了一种名为 Alpenglow 的全新权益证明 (PoS) 共识机制，并声称这将是“Solana 核心协议的最大变革”，并将与现有互联网基础设施展开竞争。
“我们相信 Alpenglow 的发布将成为 Solana 的转折点。Alpenglow 不仅是一种全新的共识协议，更是 Solana 核心协议迄今为止最大的变革，”Anza 的 Quentin Kniep、Kobi Sliwinski 和 Roger Wattenhofer 在 5 月 19 日表示。
Alpenglow 由 Votor（处理投票交易和区块最终确定逻辑）和 Rotor（一种数据传播协议）组成，Votor 将取代 Solana 的历史证明时间戳系统，旨在缩短所有节点就网络状态达成一致的时间。
Anza 的研究人员声称，“Alpenglow 将突破这两个延迟界限”，该项目预计其实际最终确定性将在约 150 毫秒内实现，堪比互联网基础设施。
“150 [毫秒] 的中位延迟不仅意味着 Solana 速度很快，还意味着 Solana 在响应速度方面可以与 Web2 基础设施相媲美，这有可能使区块链技术适用于需要实时性能的全新应用类别。”
Votor（将取代 TowerBFT）的目标是，如果 80% 的权益参与，则在一轮内完成区块确定；如果只有 60% 的权益响应，则在两轮内完成区块确定。
这两种投票模式相互集成并同时运行，一旦两条路径中较快的一条终止，最终确认就会立即进行。
Anza 的研究人员声称，这种模式将导致“前所未有的最终确认延迟”，同时使其能够在“恶劣的网络条件下”更有效地运行。
该项目的白皮书指出，切换到 Alpenglow 并不能完全保护 Solana 免受过去经历的网络中断的影响。
Solana 目前只有一个生产就绪的客户端 Agave，这意味着 Agave 中的任何安全漏洞都可能破坏整个 Solana 网络。
然而，一个名为 Firedancer 的新独立验证者客户端将于今年某个时候在 Solana 的主网上线，这将为网络提供多样化的客户端。
