🚀 Stellar (XLM) Audit: May 9, 2026
1. Main News: Protocol 26 "Yardstick"
What happened: On May 6, validator voting took place for the upgrade to Protocol 26.
Essence: This is a "tuning" for business. The network has become even faster in processing Soroban smart contracts. For your daily mining in Sl8, this means stable payouts without network "glitches."
2. Market and Figures (May 2026)
Price: XLM is currently confined within the corridor of $0.171 – $0.176.
Levels: Support at $0.162, resistance — $0.179. If we break $0.18 on high volumes, the target is $0.20 by the end of the month.
RWA (Real World Assets) Market Cap: Stellar has officially crossed the $2 billion mark in tokenized assets (treasury bonds and others). This fundamentally "cements" the XLM price because the network is genuinely used by banks.
3. Technical Updates
Stellar Passport: Released a system without seed phrases (account abstraction). Now it’s easier to onboard new people into Sl8 or other apps because there’s no need to explain "12 words."
Whisk Engine: Migration of nodes to version 23.0 is underway. This is preparation for parallel transaction execution. The network speed is expected to increase significantly.
