Stellar network upgrade launching in November will rebrand stellars to lumens and require user account upgrades. The nine-month development effort delivers a safe, scalable, and accessible network for global financial services.
The Stellar network is undergoing a major upgrade expected in November, with at least one week advance notice. Users must upgrade their accounts via launch.stellar.org, where stellars will be converted to lumens on a 1:1 basis. After upgrading, users can access accounts through the account viewer and participate on the network. Stellar.org will sunset its old network node and encourages developers to build community-owned services using open-source tools. The upgrade prioritizes safety, with warnings against phishing attempts and instructions to access accounts only by typing launch.stellar.org directly into browsers.
