The shift from a network of simple transfers to a complete institutional smart contract engine
10 million accounts and 21.5 billion operations: Confirm that it’s not a speculative or phantom network, but one of the most used in the world for remittances, cross-border payments, and the distribution of humanitarian aid
Soroban + Protocol 26 ("Yardstick")
Soroban is the Stellar smart contracts platform written in Rust.
Optimization with Protocol 26: The update aims to fine-tune resource measurement, reducing execution costs and enabling complex financial products to run in milliseconds without freezing the network.
Impact on XLM Liquidity
Until now, $XLM was used as a “quick entry and exit bridge currency” (people bought it, transferred it in 3 seconds, and sold it).
With Soroban’s growth, developers and institutions must lock XLM in smart contracts as collateral and gas, reducing the freely circulating supply and creating real cumulative demand for the token.
