Bell sets validator votes for November 3 and November 23

Stellar's Bell upgrade, also called Protocol 30, is scheduled for a testnet vote on November 3, 2026, and a mainnet vote on November 23, 2026. The Chain Observer reported on October 21, 2026, that the release includes three Core Advancement Proposals: CAP-84 for business-oriented smart accounts, CAP-87 for post-quantum signature verification and CAP-88 for millisecond ledger timing, according to The Chain Observer. Smart accounts are contracts that apply preset rules to how funds can be used. The post-quantum feature applies to smart contracts and does not make every Stellar transaction quantum-resistant.

DTCC plan lists Stellar for a 2027 rollout

ChainCatcher reported on October 19, 2026, that the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation's tokenization service covers 30 trillion USD in assets and initially uses 25 liquid instruments. The report said the first phase runs on closed platforms and that Stellar is listed as a partner for a 2027 launch connected with Circle's Arc program, according to ChainCatcher. The same report described the initial instruments as including U.S. Treasury securities, major exchange-traded funds and large-cap stocks. The schedule places Stellar's public-network role in a later phase rather than in the initial closed-platform rollout.
