Mainnet journey: the training wheels are off, and all restriction limits have been lifted!
Our only question is: What will you build?
1/ Today, we've reached an important milestone.
#Protocol20
and smart contracts are now live on Mainnet!
The
#Stellar
network just upgraded to Protocol 20, the most transformative upgrade to the Stellar network to date, marking the beginning of a new era for the network.
1 Day Left! Tomorrow, validators will vote on upgrading to Protocol 20, introducing smart contracts on Stellar Mainnet. DeFi is coming to Stellar!
Protocol 20 will mark the most transformative upgrade to the Stellar network to date. But tomorrow is just the beginning...๐
Just days away! On Feb 20, validators will vote on upgrading to Protocol 20, introducing smart contracts on Stellar Mainnet and beginning a phased rollout
Please ensure all of your relevant software is upgraded in preparation for Protocol 20 ๐

What will you build?
Oh we sure are! โฆand it looks like the 5,000+ builders whoโve already started learning about Soroban on EasyA canโt wait for the big day either! ๐ช
Let the road to mainnet begin!
1/ Stellar Core v20.2.0 stable release is now available! This update includes a fix for the recent fee bump bug.
If you run Stellar Core, make sure to upgrade to this version to ensure compatibility before the Protocol 20 Mainnet upgrade vote scheduled for Feb 20th
"With Soroban, Stellar is charting its own course, not jumping on prevailing narratives"
Smart Contracts on Stellar means bringing the opportunities of DeFi to a thriving global ecosystem already solving real-world problems around the world
Great momentum right out of the gate!
@QuickNode
's
Stellar integration makes getting started with development on Soroban easier, from creating Stellar RPC endpoints to enabling Soroban Smart Contract data to be widely available.
We're excited to support Soroban on
@StellarOrg
Mainnet, introducing a smart contract platform that elevates the Stellar network's capabilities in facilitating efficient worldwide payments.
Yesterday, we announced Soroban, the smart contracts platform on
#Stellar
, is now live for anyone to create, deploy, and interact with Stellar-based dapps.
We've supercharged support by dedicating $100 million to grow the ecosystem. Apply for funding๐
What makes Soroban a powerful smart contracts platform?
โข Designed with scalability in mind
โข Developer-friendly with plug-and-play tools
โข Near instant speed and low cost
โข Real-World utility by connecting to
#Stellar
โs on-chain assets and worldwide on and off-ramps
3/ As we embark on this exciting journey bringing DeFi to Stellar, it's important to manage expectations among all users
Today marks a beginning not an end, so stay connected & be part of the growing community shaping the future of decentralized finance!
DeFi on Stellar means projects can tap into one of the largest networks of fiat <> crypto on & off-ramps in the world across 180+ countries. You can empower new users around the world to onramp into DeFi with just their cash in-hand
Build with us to bring the world on-chain
Great to see momentum with projects like
