🚀 Stellar Activates Protocol 28 as Network Surpasses 211 TPS
Stellar has officially activated Protocol 28, known as “Adapter,” on its mainnet, marking another step in the network’s ongoing scalability and smart-contract development.
⚡ 211+ TPS Milestone Around the same time, Stellar recorded more than 211 transactions per second across 100 consecutive blocks, highlighting a new sustained throughput milestone. This performance figure is separate from the protocol upgrade itself, as Stellar is gradually rolling out parallel transaction-set downloading.
🔧 What Protocol 28 Brings:
• CAP-83: Allows validators to continue consensus even when transaction data is delayed or invalid.
• CAP-85: Enables multiple Soroban smart contracts to use a shared, externally managed executable, making large-scale contract upgrades more efficient and atomic.
• CAP-86: Introduces sparse-map functionality to make smart-contract data migrations easier as applications evolve.
📈 Overall, Protocol 28 is focused heavily on improving Stellar’s smart-contract infrastructure while also strengthening the network’s ability to handle increasing workloads.
For developers, infrastructure operators, and financial applications building on Stellar, Adapter represents another important upgrade toward a more scalable and flexible ecosystem.
