Votor

The vote-optimized transaction ordering component of the Alpenglow consensus protocol. Votor handles off-chain voting and certificate generation, replacing Tower BFT's on-chain vote transactions that currently account for 70-80% of Solana's transaction volume. By moving voting off-chain and using a structured protocol for collecting and aggregating validator votes, Votor enables sub-second finality while freeing on-chain bandwidth for user transactions.
