Soroban Preview 10 introduces new State Expiration logic to address blockchain bloat issues, along with Rust SDK changes and clearer smart contract limits. July focused on refactors rather than new features, including rethinking governance token distribution. A new Stable Liquidity Pools contract for stablecoins is in development for future deployment.
Soroban Preview 10 has been released, marking a stable phase with most required technology now included, particularly the innovative State Expiration logic aimed at solving widespread blockchain bloat problems. The update features refactors in the Rust SDK, defined limits for smart contracts, and adjustments to governance token distribution plans for efficiency while maintaining decentralization. Despite a 'boring' month without major new features, the team developed a Stable Liquidity Pools contract for 1:1 stablecoin swaps, set for deployment post-refactors. Future months promise more exciting developments as the protocol advances.
