Combined, Votor and Rotor aim to finalize transactions in 100–150 milliseconds—a speed previously considered unachievable for decentralized systems.

One of the key highlights of the Alpenglow protocol is its ability to reduce latency by a factor of 100x compared to the current Solana implementation.
14 / 15
According to Anza, “A median latency of 150 ms does not just mean that Solana is fast — it means Solana can compete with Web2 infrastructure in terms of responsiveness.”

This opens the door to a wide range of real-time applications that previously couldn’t function efficiently on blockchain networks due to slow finality or high transaction costs.
