Currently, history test time test transactions to preserve their order without slowing down the network, while TowerBft manages the voting process between validators. Alpenglow’s improvements will review both systems.
The voter will reduce the purposes of transactions of more than 12 seconds to around 150 milliseconds, delivering an almost instant confirmation for users. The rotor, scheduled for a posterior deployment, will minimize data transfers between validators, a crucial improvement for high demand applications, such as decentralized finances.
