Reflector hosted an AMA with Tomer Weller from the Stellar Development Foundation covering Stellar's scalability, latency optimization, DeFi composability on Soroban, and oracle use cases like prediction markets. The discussion highlighted upcoming performance improvements including parallel contract execution and networking optimizations planned for 2025.
Reflector organized a Discord AMA featuring Tomer Weller from the Stellar Development Foundation that explored multiple technical dimensions of the Stellar ecosystem. Key topics included validator scalability and quorum limitations, current block time constraints (~5 seconds), and strategies to shorten confirmation times inspired by approaches like Sui's fast object confirmation. The conversation addressed DeFi composability on Soroban, with Tomer advocating for protocol coordination over premature standardization. Technical roadmap items discussed included parallel contract execution (targeted for end of 2025), networking layer concurrency improvements, and ledger time reduction efforts informed by recent research from Sui and Mysten. Reflector shared insights on oracle sustainability and demonstrated commitment to innovation through hackathon projects in insurance, gaming, and lending.
