00:00Today is the day the vote goes live on Stellar's network to upgrade to protocol 20 and launch the
00:09Soroban smart contracts. So over the past two years the Stellar Development Foundation and
00:16the wider Stellar community have worked tirelessly to bring smart contract functionality to Stellar's
00:22network which will usher in new capabilities and opportunities that will work with all of
00:27the existing functionality. So today we've reached the milestone. Stellar Development Foundation
00:34and the maintainers of the key Stellar SDKs or software development kits have announced the
00:41release of the full suite of software that supports protocol 20 which will bring Soroban smart contracts
00:49to Stellar. With these technical pieces now in place Stellar's network validators will vote on the main
00:55net to upgrade to protocol 20 which should give the ecosystem time to prepare by installing the
01:02relevant software. Protocol 20 will mark the most transformative upgrade to Stellar's network to
01:08date. Reserve the network's performance security and sustainability. What they're going to do is a
01:15slow rollout of this. So they'll continue to increase the throughput of these smart contracts over time
01:21and it'll be a phased approach and this is the main reason that they didn't just roll hooks out onto the XRPL
01:29on their main net because these smart contracts they can break things. So today the network's validators
01:37will cast their votes and if they approve the upgrade the Stellar network will immediately switch over
01:43from protocol 19 to protocol 20. So this again is after two years hundreds of thousands of lines of code
01:51and over 150 projects that we know of have been deployed on the test net. So the upgrade will mark an era
01:58for new smart contracts for Stellar's blockchain and their tech stack. One that delivers productivity
02:05through basically like batteries in included developer experience and it'll be built to scale
02:12right. So again this is a phased out approach so it's not like a zero to 100. There will be phases
02:20and because of this a lot of the functionality that people are looking for on the dApps and some of the
02:26greater throughput that some of these smart contracts will require it's not going to be available right out of the
02:31gate. But it's the first step in a huge transition for Stellar's network to be able to have smart
02:38contract capability on it and you know all of the wonderful things that we want to come to the
02:42network which is real world assets and the tokenization of financial products. You know we've got
02:48discussed yesterday Stronghold and what they're building on the network so this will allow DeFi
02:53and dApps for their banking services they're providing clients. So a whole new scope of things that
02:59weren't ever available before on Stellar's network will be available with Soroban. So excited to bring
03:05this to you guys. I thought it was a cool development. If you haven't yet please like subscribe
03:10and we'll see you on the next one.
03:29I'll see you guys next time.
