DeFi, payments, tokenization, Soroban, governance, and project launches — curated daily from publications, project blogs, and community channels across the Stellar blockchain ecosystem.
Stellar Development Foundation publishes technical specifications and roadmap for implementing Lightning Network on Stellar, enabling instant, low-fee off-chain payments through state channels and payment channels.
Stellar's 2018 roadmap focuses on two main goals: launching SDEX, a world-class decentralized exchange front-end for on-chain token trading, and integrating the Lightning Network to improve scalability and privacy.

Tutorial on issuing custom tokens on Stellar, demonstrating how to create, distribute, and manage tokens like the example HUG token with fixed supply and built-in exchange capabilities.
Stellar Core has been upgraded with significant code improvements, now 50% smaller and faster while maintaining security through the Stellar Consensus Protocol. Developers can upgrade their accounts and begin building financial services on the improved network.
Stellar.org introduces the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a federated Byzantine agreement mechanism designed for decentralized payments. SCP offers four key properties: decentralized control, low latency, flexible trust, and asymptotic security, with a new open-source codebase now available for peer review.
