Stellar Announces Bell Network Upgrade
Stellar, a cryptocurrency platform, has announced its upcoming Bell network upgrade. The update aims to enhance institutional adoption, faster transaction processing, and security against quantum computing threats. Developers and infrastructure providers are rolling out updated software between October 16 and 23, ahead of the November 23 validator vote. The upgrade introduces three proposals: W-addresses for financial institutions, millisecond-based ledger timing, and support for post-quantum signatures for smart contracts. Stellar’s upgrade could attract businesses exploring tokenized assets and digital payments.
