Stellar Core v20.1.0 Could Be Delayed!
The Stellar blockchain, which is expected to undergo a major upgrade to add Ethereum-style smart contracts, announced that there could be a delay due to a bug that has caused the developers behind the project to reconsider the scheduled January 30 date.
The Stellar Development Foundation, which supports the Stellar ecosystem, announced on Saturday that a bug was found in the Stellar Core v20.1.0 software on January 25. The bug is thought to theoretically affect applications and services in new Soroban smart contract transactions when the upgrade is rolled out.
Officials have determined that the bug poses low risk, but following feedback from the developer community, the foundation plans to disable its own validators to prevent the network from voting to approve the upgrade on January 30.
