Tyler Vanderhoeven from SDF presented progress on Turing Signing Servers, a proposal for enabling decentralized transaction creation on Stellar through programmable smart contract-like functionality without modifying the core protocol.

Tyler Vanderhoeven presents SEP X, a proposal for Turing complete smart contracts on Stellar via decentralized Turing signing servers. These servers enable programmable transaction creation while maintaining Stellar's safety guarantees, offering functional feature parity with Ethereum without requiring assets to be first-class citizens.

Nicholas Haraf from the Stellar Development Foundation demonstrates Kelp GUI v1, a graphical interface for managing trading bots on the Stellar Decentralized Exchange. The tool allows users to create and manage multiple bot instances with customizable trading strategies without coding.

Tyler Vanderhoeven explains path payments, a core Stellar feature that moves value through the decentralized exchange by routing assets across multiple order books. Path payments enable market orders, cross-asset payments, and liquidity provision without manual exchange interaction.
