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.

Stellar Development Foundation held an open protocol discussion covering CAP 23 (claimable balances for two-part payments) and CAP 33 (sponsored reserves). Teams debated predicate tree recursion depth limits, SEP 30 compatibility issues, and downstream SDK/Horizon implementation readiness for Protocol 14.

Oleg Andreev from Stellar presents Slingshot and ZKVM, a modular suite combining zero-knowledge proofs, confidential transactions, and a programmable virtual machine to enable private, auditable blockchain transactions with customizable smart contract conditions.
