Q1
Usability
Lab 3.0
Lab 3.0 lets developers invoke smart contracts as well as view contract storage, specifications, and source code for verified contracts, enabling faster development and innovation.
The Stellar Disbursement Platform's new hosted mode allows enterprises to onboard, acquire digital assets, and start sending payments faster and more easily – without the need for integration.
A new “Discover” app browser tab in Freighter will allow Stellar dApps to integrate directly with the wallet, eliminating the need for users to switch between their browser and Freighter.
Usability
CLI Enhancements
The new Stellar CLI features will offer powerful enhancements for transaction editing, network data access, and contract management—giving developers greater control, flexibility, and efficiency directly from the command line.
Usability
RPC Upgrades
The updated RPC will streamline developer access to Stellar network data by integrating real-time Stellar asset and Soroban transaction data into a unified, industry-standard format — no changes to existing implementation required.
Usability
CDP 1.0
CDP 1.0 will provide a customizable, fast, and low-cost way to ingest and transform historical network data. Builders will be able to select the data they need with GO-based ingest and parsing libraries to speed up ingestion and reduce overhead.
Usability
Freighter Backend
The Freighter wallet backend will be implemented as a reusable service for tracking balances, processing payments, and supporting wallet functionality, reducing development time and cost of building Stellar wallets.
Usability
New Freighter Mobile App
The Freighter mobile app for iOS and Android is launching with the same features and functionality as the browser extension, simplifying wallet access and on- and off-ramping for users who need to visit physical locations.
Q3
Usability
ETL Enhancements
The Stellar-ETL product is being upgraded to provide analytics users and providers with an extensible version of the Stellar data model. Updates include curated datasets for easier insights and new serialization methods for data parsing.
Scalability
5,000 TPS
We're aiming to increase our theoretical peak transaction throughput to 5,000 TPS by leveraging concurrency, aggressive caching, and ahead-of-time compilation of Soroban smart contracts.
Usability
New SDP Payment Flows
The Stellar Disbursement Platform will support all major enterprise payment flows and types, including crypto and fiat payments. This will allow enterprises to conduct all of their financial activities onchain, regardless of whether their counterparties use digital assets, enabling greater efficiency, transparency, and reach.
Usability
Improved Stella AI Assistant
What began as a Discord bot to help builders navigate documentation is evolving into a more powerful agent tool. It will be enhanced with additional data sources and a user-friendly front-end UI, transforming Stella into a fully headless solution accessible across multiple platforms.
Q4
Usability
Freighter Advanced Auth
Advanced authentication will be added to Freighter and leverage Soroban’s smart wallet capabilities. This will offer progressive security based on held value and user-friendly key recovery options like passkeys and social sign-ins.
Usability
Lab 4.0
Lab 4.0 will deliver deep insights into transaction-level simulation, debugging, and resource profiling, enabling developers to identify and to resolve issues more efficiently.
Scalability
2.5 Second Block Times
We're aiming for Stellar-core to support ledger close times of 2.5 seconds (down from 5) through improvements to the overlay network along with pipelining consensus and execution.
Scalability
SDP Single-Use Wallets
The Stellar Disbursement Platform will support the on-demand creation of single-use wallets, simplifying the process of receiving digital asset payments for anyone, regardless of blockchain experience. For enterprises, it will further unlock access to non-crypto-native users worldwide.
Usability
Contract Copilot
Contract Copilot will streamline the creation of Stellar smart contracts by automating boilerplate code generation, code linting for security vulnerabilities, and unified testing.
Scalability
OpenZeppelin Token Standards
Token Standards will accelerate adoption across the Stellar ecosystem by providing standardized contracts for fungible tokens, non-fungible tokens, multi-tokens, security tokens, real-world assets, and more. They'll simplify the creation, minting, and integration of tokens on Stellar, enabling broader use across applications.
Scalability
2x Tier 1 Resilience
We currently have 7 tier-1 organizations that allow the network to remain operational with 2 failures. To strengthen open governance and resilience, we plan to add 6 more through improvements in overlay and consensus, reaching 13 by the end of 2025.
Scalability
100X Payouts Capacity
We’re automating and compressing payment flows to handle 100x more transactions per click with Merkle Trees, boosting the scalability and operational efficiency of the network.
