🛠 $XLM | Stellar's protocol 30: three new CAPs wrapped in stability work
Stellar core v30.0.0 bumps the network to protocol version 30, bundling three CAPs: CAP-0084 for muxed contract addresses, CAP-0087 adding host functions for ML-DSA signature verification, and CAP-0088 for millisecond-resolution close times. The same release carries a run of stability work, from hardening TCPPeer tests and fixing a flaky survey test to clarifying the background ledger apply flow in comments. It reads as new contract-level capability arriving alongside plumbing cleanup rather than one single headline feature.
Why it matters: Protocol-level changes like these shape what contracts can do and how signatures are verified, so both node operators and developers have a direct stake in the upgrade.
💬 Which of the three CAPs, muxed contract addresses, ML-DSA verification or millisecond close times, will builders notice first, and why?
