Stellar Development Foundation released stellar-core v11.2 with automatic quorum configuration and a quorum intersection checker to help validators manage Byzantine Agreement Systems more easily and safely.
The Stellar Development Foundation released stellar-core v11.2, introducing two major improvements to quorum set management. Automatic quorum configuration groups validators by organization and sets thresholds based on best practices, while a new quorum intersection checker uses an NP-complete algorithm to verify network safety. These tools address the complexity of manual quorum configuration, which requires balancing liveness and safety while ensuring quorum intersection to prevent network forks and halts. The release represents the first step toward safer and more robust consensus on Stellar.
