SOL also extends its weekly gains into double-digit outperforming most of top altcoins. Solana’s Alpenglow Proposal Enters Community Vote Alpenglow, Solana’s latest consensus upgrade proposal – SIMD 0326 – has entered the community voting phase. This proposal is scheduled across Epochs 840 to 842, with each epoch lasting approximately two days. The proposal aims to reduce block finality time from the current 12.8 seconds to around 150 milliseconds. The development sent the SOL price soaring above $200 once again. Developed by Anza, a Solana Labs spinoff, Alpenglow proposes replacing Proof of History, a “pre-recorded clock” mechanism, along with Tower BFT, the current consensus voting system. To pass, the upgrade requires a two-thirds majority of “yes” votes. As of Epoch 840, voter turnout stands at 9.87%, with 9.76% in favor, as per the official Alpenglow consensus details. Upon approval, Alpenglow will majorly boost Solana’s speed by offering a competitive edge for high-frequency decentralized applications, institutional adoption, and DeFi use cases.

Avalanche and Hyperliquid Lead Crypto Rally Post-Fed Rate Cut

The post Avalanche and Hyperliquid Lead Crypto Rally Post-Fed Rate Cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Crypto markets have posted broad gains following the Federal Reserve’s quarter-point rate cut. Hyperliquid’s USDH stablecoin has been “attracting liquidity across the board from many institutions,” according to an analyst. The momentum now hinges on project-specific catalysts, with altcoins more exposed to volatility than Bitcoin, experts told Decrypt. Avalanche (AVAX) and Hyperliquid (HYPE) led the altcoin rally on Thursday as digital assets responded positively to the Federal Reserve’s latest rate cut and project-specific developments.
