Stellar protocol developers discussed CAP 35, which enables asset issuers to claw back tokens for regulatory compliance. The proposal moved from draft to final comment period after minor revisions including deprecating AllowTrust and expanding asset parameters for future delegation flexibility.
The Stellar Open Protocol meeting focused on CAP 35, a proposal to add optional clawback functionality for regulated assets. Speakers clarified that clawback is an opt-in feature with transparent flags visible to all parties, preventing surprise rule changes. Key discussion points included: replacing asset codes with full asset objects in SetTrustLineFlags to enable future delegation of authorization rights to separate accounts, deprecating the AllowTrust operation, and addressing claimable balance clawback behavior. Participants agreed the sender's clawback flag should determine whether claimable balances can be clawed back, balancing security with smart contract usability. After minor revisions, the panel voted unanimously to move CAP 35 into final comment period, triggering a one-week community feedback window before potential acceptance.
