Stellar Ecosystem Bug Found in Smart Contract Software

The delay comes in light of a Stellar ecosystem bug discovered, prompting developers and validators to reconsider the upgrade schedule.

The hiccup emerged on January 25 when the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) detected a glitch within the Stellar Core v20.1.0 software, potentially impacting applications and services linked to the anticipated “Soroban” smart contract transactions.

Initially targeting January 30 for the upgrade rollout, Stellar developers and validators have hit the brakes following the bug’s revelation. Despite the SDF’s initial assessment downplaying the risk, community feedback spurred a reassessment. Consequently, the foundation intends to neutralize its validators to prevent a premature network upgrade.

The decision-making process involving the upgrade isn’t unilateral; the SDF actively engages with the Stellar Dev Discord and developer mailing lists, fostering dialogue within the ecosystem. The foundation underscores its commitment to resolving the Stellar ecosystem bug and fostering transparent discussions with validators.

While the upgrade delay presents a temporary setback, the SDF remains resolute in its mission to address the Stellar ecosystem bug and facilitate constructive exchanges among stakeholders. Should validators opt to defer the upgrade, collaborative efforts will ensue to determine a new voting date once a bug-fixed version of Stellar Core becomes available within the forthcoming two weeks.
