NEW RESEARCH: Alpenglow Consensus Deep Dive We’ve published a comprehensive technical analysis of Solana’s proposed Alpenglow consensus mechanism, and the findings are fascinating! 🔍 🔑Key Insights: - Higher fault tolerance (40% vs 33%) comes at a modest, bounded cost - ~38% reduction in MEV from arbitrage opportunities - Geographic concentration risks from tighter network delays - Economic gaming vectors in the reward mechanism need attention Read our full technical analysis 👇
Our rigorous peer review examines everything from Byzantine fault assumptions to MEV economics, revealing both the protocol’s innovative potential and areas requiring careful consideration.
Bottom line: Alpenglow represents a bold evolution for Solana, but successful implementation demands thoughtful design choices around incentives and decentralisation.
