Solana Labs has spun off its company Anza to propose the Alpenglow plan, hailed as the "biggest evolution of the Solana core protocol."

BlockBeats News, May 20th, according to The Block, Anza, a development studio spun out by Solana Labs, announced what they described as the "largest ever change to the Solana core protocol." According to the announcement, this high-throughput Layer 1 blockchain will undergo a completely redesigned underlying architecture called Alpenglow.

Anza's Quentin Kniep, Kobi Sliwinski, and Roger Wattenhofer wrote in a whitepaper released on Monday: "We believe the release of Alpenglow will be a turning point for Solana. Alpenglow is not only a new consensus protocol, but also the biggest change to the Solana core protocol ever."

This upgrade will introduce new components named Votor and Rotor, replacing Solana's existing TowerBFT proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and historical proof timestamp system.
