According to the official announcement, the testnet will upgrade on September 20 at 15:00 UTC to release newer updates of Stellar Core and Horizon, the infrastructure of the Stellar network.

Stellar validators will open upgrade votes for six weeks once the testnet upgrade reaches ideal output. The testnet release of the Protocol 20 upgrade will track and trace network performance with the implementation of Soroban smart contracts.

Soroban is a smart contract infrastructure built on top of Stellar. It advances the Stellar network’s capabilities by enabling an ecosystem of decentralized applications.

“Because the Protocol 20 upgrade introduces new network settings that validators control, it is also likely that the initial upgrade vote will be followed by a series of additional votes to adjust those settings,” said the blog post.

The Stellar Foundation has increased its development efforts to sustain itself in the highly competitive blockchain space. It recently onboarded British actor Idris Elba to advertise Stellar blockchain network.
