Stellar Adapter upgrade boosts network performance
Chainspect noted that rather than experiencing the typical Sunday slowdown, Stellar maintained substantial activity throughout the day, which remains significant for the network.
This follows the recent Stellar Protocol 28 upgrade, “Adapter,” which brought about improvements that allowed faster consensus, even under load.
CAP-83, introduced in the Adapter upgrade, lets validators begin voting before the transaction set has fully arrived and gives them an explicit way to drop a transaction set that is late or invalid instead of stalling while they wait for it. In practice, that means consensus keeps moving even when transaction data is slow to propagate, which will improve throughput and help keep the network running smoothly at scale and at low cost.
In separate news, Real World Asset (RWA) value on Stellar is up 11x since January 2025, having gone from $300 million to $3.54 billion, contributed to by Franklin Templeton’s BENJI and WisdomTree Funds. Stellar also leads tokenized fund growth in 2026 with over $2.7 billion thus far.
