Bell puts three changes before validators
The Stellar Development Foundation introduced Bell, also called Protocol 30, on October 20, 2026. According to ChainCatcher, the proposal covers new contract address formats, post-quantum signature verification for smart contracts and millisecond-resolution ledger timestamps.
The first scheduled checkpoint is a testnet validator vote at 17:00 UTC on November 3, 2026. A mainnet validator vote is scheduled for November 23, 2026, also at 17:00 UTC, according to CryptoTicker. The proposal would take effect only if the required validator approval is reached, and the cited schedule can change.
Chainlink data feeds reach a 4 billion USD ecosystem
Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams went live on Stellar on October 14, 2026. The feeds provide external market information to smart contracts, while Data Streams deliver lower-latency data. The integration is intended to give developers tools for lending markets, prediction markets, perpetual futures and other decentralized finance applications, according to Stellar.
The same announcement describes Stellar's tokenized real-world asset ecosystem as larger than 4 billion USD. It also identifies collateral processing, loan-to-value calculations, automated liquidations and stablecoin reference rates as possible uses for the data infrastructure. These functions depend on application developers and do not by themselves change the scheduled Bell vote or the current XLM market data.
