Whitepaper Reading Club - After Alpenglow

What's Next? With Alpenglow now live and targeting 150ms finality, what's next for Solana consensus? Constellation and Multiple Concurrent Proposers, Censorship Resistance? Join Roger Wattenhofer and Quentin Kniep of Solana Foundation/Anza for a roundtable discussion on Constellation (Multiple Concurrent Proposers).
