Tyler Vanderhoeven from the Stellar Development Foundation presents Stellar Turrets, a decentralized transaction creation and signing protocol that enables DeFi applications on Stellar by removing the need for centralized intermediaries to control accounts.

Panel discussion on Stellar's growth trajectory featuring leaders from Settle Network, Liquid Group, SatoshiPay, and Securrency debating the network's focus on remittances versus broader use cases, DeFi adoption via Protocol 18 AMMs, and scalability challenges.

Tomer Weller outlines Stellar's 2022 tech strategy, highlighting three priorities: layer one scalability targeting 5,000 TPS via SpeedEx, cryptocurrency bridges to other ecosystems, and trust-minimized innovation. The network achieved 99% ledger closure within 7 seconds and AMMs reached $14M in liquidity within two weeks of launch.

Three Stellar Community Fund recipients discuss their projects: Light Mint (NFT marketplace for artists), Leaf Global FinTech (cross-border wallet for refugees), and Script3 (DeFi protocol with Yield Blocks). They share how SCF funding enabled growth and offer advice for future applicants.

Stellar Protocol 18 launched with AMM functionality built at the protocol level, enabling automated market makers that democratize liquidity provision. Two weeks post-launch, the network has 1,500+ liquidity pools, $13M+ in total value locked, and spreads on key pairs like ARS/USD have tightened to 1%, improving cross-border payment costs by 33%.

Stellar Open Protocol meeting reviewing CAP 38 (Automated Market Makers) post-implementation changes. The team validated final XDR adjustments before protocol 18 network upgrade scheduled for November 3rd, confirming AMM functionality is ready for deployment.

SDF's Q2 2021 quarterly call covering $18M in enterprise fund investments, protocol upgrades 16 and 17, CAP 38 AMM proposal, and network growth metrics showing 159% increase in payments and 36,900% growth in relevant asset transactions.

Stellar Development Foundation held an open protocol discussion on CAP 37 and CAP 38, two competing proposals to introduce automated market makers (AMMs) at the protocol level. After extensive debate on implementation approaches, the CAP committee unanimously voted to move CAP 38 into final comment period, choosing the simpler best-venue routing model over CAP 37's more complex interleaved approach.

Stellar protocol discussion on automated market makers (AMMs) focusing on asset authorization and revocation mechanisms. Two approaches debated: one mirroring existing offer revocation semantics, another requiring issuer opt-in for liquidity pool participation.

Stellar developers discussed two competing proposals, CAP 37 and CAP 38, for adding automated market makers (AMMs) to the protocol. Key topics included reserve requirements, DEX integration approaches, pool parameter updates, and governance for multiple pools per asset pair.

Nikhil Saraf from the Stellar Development Foundation presents Kelp, an automated trading bot that solves liquidity problems on Stellar's decentralized exchange by enabling market makers, traders, and anchors to create instant liquidity across asset pairs.

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.
