Bell includes three protocol changes

The Stellar Development Foundation published its Bell, Protocol 30 upgrade guide on October 20, 2026. The guide schedules a testnet upgrade vote for November 3, 2026, and a mainnet upgrade vote for November 23, 2026, both at 17:00 UTC, according to Stellar.

Bell contains three changes: a new address format for multiplexed smart-contract payments, verification of quantum-safe signatures inside smart contracts, and ledger timestamps recorded in milliseconds. The foundation says the changes are additive at the transaction level, while infrastructure operators and software developers are responsible for testing their integrations before each vote, according to Stellar.
