The Stellar Development Foundation held its inaugural open protocol discussion broadcast, a bi-weekly forum for reviewing and planning protocol changes. Key topics included: Protocol 13 upgrade delayed two weeks to June 18 to allow crypto exchanges more preparation time; CAP 23 (two-part payments via claimable balances) moving toward final comment period; CAP 33 (sponsored reserves allowing entities to cover account reserves) advancing despite sequence number coordination challenges; Issue 622 addressing transaction time bounds evaluation; and Issue 624 proposing improvements to the CAP process through better working group involvement and downstream impact analysis. The team also outlined a network upgrade coordination process emphasizing ecosystem readiness verification and stakeholder outreach.
