Governance

Aquarius introduces APIS, a composite transparency score (0-100) for liquidity pools combining trading volume, pool imbalance, whale concentration, and incentive sustainability. The UI feature helps users evaluate pool quality beyond APR alone, with no changes to rewards or protocol mechanics.

Aquarius governance: SHX (Stronghold's stablecoin) is being added to the asset registry. The token has been on Stellar for over seven years with 90,111 trustlines and 55M+ trades as of June 28, 2026. The addition enables Aquarius users to interact with an established stablecoin backed by Stronghold's reserves.

py-stellar-base is a Python SDK for building Stellar applications, handling transaction construction, Horizon queries, and Soroban smart contracts. Used by SDF, Lobstr, and Trezor, it lowers entry barriers for developers. This Q2 2026 proposal funds Protocol 26 compatibility, SEP-46/47/48 support for contract metadata, and an AI coding agent skill.

Java Stellar SDK shipped 3 Q1 2026 releases including security hardening and SEP-51 XDR-JSON support. Q2 roadmap: Protocol 26 compatibility, SEP-46/47/48 smart contract interop, and an AI coding agent skill.

RefractorSpace, a multisig transaction storage and aggregation service for Stellar, applies for Stellar Community Fund Public Goods Maintenance funding. Maintained by StellarExpert, the tool has processed over 100 transactions in recent months and is actively used by Aquarius DAO, Reflector DAO, YieldBlox DAO, and others. The $20,000 request will fund documentation improvements, website redesign, mobile support, additional wallet integrations, and protocol upgrades.

Now seeking SCF funding to maintain the 587 logged vulnerabilities, add more audits, and build awareness through tutorials and community engagement.

YieldBlox DAO proposes reducing the EURC collateral factor to 0% on Blend Protocol via Soroban Governor governance. The proposal queues a reserve parameter change as the first step of Blend's standard two-step governance process, which mandates a 7-day timelock before a second proposal can finalize the change.

Aquarius proposes raising the voting quorum threshold from 10% to 20% specifically for treasury and grant proposals, addressing governance concentration risk. Proposal #108 passed a 50M AQUA grant with only 10.2% community participation, where the top two wallets accounted for roughly 73% of approving votes. The change preserves the 10% threshold for general governance and parameter changes.
