Stellar (XLM) Gets Smart Contract Upgrade: What's New?
Stellar marked its 11th anniversary with a smart contract update tied to Soroban, and the Soroban SDK v28 is now live on mainnet. The update also brings support for Protocol 28, launched on September 16 under the name Adapter, and changes how stored contract data is handled on the network.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Developers working on Stellar’s Soroban tools are the immediate group affected, because the SDK release is already live on mainnet and includes Protocol 28 support. Users and builders on the network may notice that stored contract data is handled differently now, which changes what the platform supports today.
