Soroban, Stellar's smart contracts platform, is live on Mainnet. Much will be said but right now I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who's worked on this project for the past couple of years. I've learned so much from y'all and I'm honored to be part of the #StellarFamily ๐.

In 2024 Stellar pulled off an amazing feat of engineering: retrofitting a state of the art smart contracts runtime onto a trusted battle proven blockchain. We're closing off this year with more than 1M contract invocations without any hiccups. Growing fast and still a tiny

The intern trash talked XRP and then proceeded to put me on a panel with @JoelKatz ๐คฆโโ๏ธ.
Are stablecoins the key to unlocking global digital asset adoption, or just one piece of the puzzle?. At #InnovateDenver, this panel will explore stablecoin growth, evolving use cases, and their role in mainstream adoption and financial innovation.

The Stellar network processed 2,281 Soroban transactions today (May 8th, UTC). This is the busiest day since launch and is still a tiny fraction of almost 12,000,000 transactions processed by Stellar today. Onwards and upwards.

I love talking about real world utility but pairing that with a fictional use case is misleading. The fact is that crypto POS sales at scale are a ways out and the leaders in that space are definitely NOT on algorand. If you want to talk about real world utility - show it.
When blockchains meet the real world, only Algorand delivers. Episode 3: the ice cream truck. Another #Algofam production featuring @atsoc93, @0Designz, @AlgoLeagues, and of course @JohnAlanWoods

If you're building on Stellar check this out. This small change in the overlay protocol will allow Stellar to scale significantly and enable efficient Soroban smart contract invocations.

Hey @bgarlinghouse, if you're interested in issuing $RLUSD in a network with clear product market fit for real world use cases you should consider Stellar. HMU for more info.

Why imagine? Cash to Stablecoins is a reality in Stellar using >400k agents of @MoneyGram since 2022. Already used by UNHCR to distribute $4.6M to @Refugees in Ukraine and transform rural communities in Latam using the @Decaf_so wallet, and much more.
Imagine a mobile app that could protect millions in emerging markets from unstable currencies. Meet @zarpay_app โ converting cash to stablecoins on Solana through local money agents, starting in Pakistan

Gm eth people. Yes, tokenized treasuries are a big thing. We've known that for a while at @StellarOrg where industry giants like @FTI_US and @WisdomTreePrime have been issuing treasuries. Better late than never!.
um. i think the BlackRock on Ethereum news from yesterday is bigger than i initially thought. it's more than symbolic - it seems like a liquidity portal from tradfi to crypto . tokenized treasuries are about to accelerate.

Yes, Stellar has first class multisig and clear signing even for complex authorizations . Yes, Stellar contracts have native upgrade functionality, no funky proxies and `delegatecall`. No, none of that ensures full stack protection from nation state hackers. Cut the crap.

blockchain gaslighting:.- chain: we solved scalability.- users: we can't submit transactions.- chain: that's because we're scaling.
The Solana network is, once again, being battle tested with a huge influx of traffic. Bug fixes are rolling out over the next week, and things will start to improve. But there is no silver bullet and no "finished" โ we expect demand will continue to increase, which will require.

3 years ago today we chose Wasm for Stellar's smart contracts. Going non-evm was a non-trivial and contentious decision. It's great to see the wider ecosystem, vitalik included, sobering up and realizing that the evm is not the endgame.

Stellar's protocol 23 is STACKED with core advancements*: .- MASSIVE runtime performance gains and cost reduction with soroban live state prioritization which enables soroban data caching and smart contract caching (cap62, cap65, cap66).- Increased throughput and contention.
