Stellar Developer Meeting: Protocol 23 CAP Follow-up and Q&A

Share:

The meeting focused on various CAPs related to Stellar’s Protocol 23, with a strong emphasis on CAP 70, which introduces new network configuration settings aiming to enhance consensus timing by allowing configurable values rather than hard-coded ones. This proposal aims to gradually lower block times towards higher throughput in a controlled manner. Participants raised concerns regarding the risk of network instability from these configurations, proposing that tighter implementation-level bounds could mitigate these risks. There was also a review of other CAPS like CAP 62, 63, 67, and 69, discussing their implementation status and potential impacts. Ultimately, the meeting reflects Stellar’s approach to incrementally improving protocol efficiency and adaptability in a complex technical landscape.
