The Stellar Development Foundation is consolidating Go developer tools into a unified Go SDK, renaming the monorepo from stellar/go to stellar/go-stellar-sdk. This change aligns the Go ecosystem with other Stellar SDKs and improves discoverability by clearly separating reusable SDK components from service code.
The Stellar Development Foundation is restructuring its Go tooling by consolidating the Horizon client, RPC client, Ingest SDK, Transaction Builder, and utilities into a single unified Go SDK repository. The monorepo will be renamed from stellar/go to stellar/go-stellar-sdk to match naming conventions of other Stellar SDKs and make its purpose clearer to developers. This change addresses long-standing pain points including unclear package boundaries, scattered documentation, and the need to import the RPC client from a separate repository. Simultaneously, Horizon, Galexie, and Friendbot are being moved to dedicated repositories, and several legacy services (recoverysigner, webauth, market-tracker, etc.) are being deprecated. The reorganization aims to provide Go developers with the same cohesive experience as developers in other languages while enabling better integration with Stellar's Composable Data Platform and facilitating community contributions.
