Solana validators approved the SIMD-0326 proposal implementing Alpenglow in September 2025 with over 98% voting in favor

Moving validator votes off-chain under Alpenglow is expected to reduce Solana's reported transaction counts and TPS because vote transactions are no longer included in blocks

The Alpenglow upgrade reduces Solana's transaction finality from about 12.8 seconds to roughly 150 milliseconds

Anza plans a future upgrade named Rotor to replace Turbine and improve how block data spreads across the Solana network

During public testnet and devnet testing, Alpenglow achieved median finality times as low as 54 milliseconds

Balaji Srinivasan proposed requiring blockchain users to consent in advance to network state rollbacks if a cryptographic signature scheme is broken

Haseeb Qureshi proposed deploying a validator kill switch that forces blockchain addresses into cryptographic recovery mode without requiring hard fork upgrades

TokenLogic submitted an October 15, 2026 governance proposal to introduce a permissioned GHO Stability Module for USAT on Aave V4 on Avalanche.

An amendment to XRP Ledger rules, such as fixCleanup3_4_0, requires continuous approval from over 80% of the network's 35 default trusted validators—at least 29 votes—for two consecutive weeks before activating

Ripple's proposed LendingProtocol amendment (XLS-66) held 19 of 35 validator votes as of October 19, 2026, leaving it 10 votes short of the 29 needed for activation.

The fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment closes a loophole that could allow account roles authorized only to burn tokens to create new tokens under specific conditions.

The XRP Ledger SingleAssetVault amendment (XLS-65), designed to store deposited assets for lending, held 21 validator votes as of October 19, 2026, leaving it eight votes short of approval.

The XRP Ledger fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment reached 29 validator votes on October 9, 2026, and held 29 on October 19, 2026, tracking activation around 09:34 UTC on October 23, 2026, with a single validator withdrawal restarting its 14-day countdown.

Even if the LendingProtocol proposal reached 29 validator votes immediately, the required two-week voting period prevents the lending feature from activating before early November 2026.

TokenLogic's October 15, 2026 Aave governance proposal contains a discrepancy where a 66 million GHO outbound bridge capacity is labeled as 110% of initial funding

TokenLogic's October 15, 2026 Aave governance proposal retains emergency controls for Aave, where freezing halts exchanges and asset seizure transfers module-held waUSAT to a designated Aave treasury

The initial whitelist for TokenLogic's proposed permissioned GHO Stability Module on Avalanche includes a commercial counterparty and an Aave DAO Safe controlled by the Aave Finance Committee

As of October 18, 2026, TokenLogic's public Aave proposal outlines a Snapshot vote followed by an implementation proposal as its next governance steps.

Ripple backed both the LendingProtocol and SingleAssetVault amendments through its network validator in August 2026 while both remained below the 29-vote activation threshold
