CORE
Stellar Protocol Values Released
SDF details “Stellar Protocol Values” to help guide people as they are submitting protocol changes (CAPs). Highlights:
- “Stellar network should facilitate side-chain transactions to enable sub-networks.”
- “The Stellar network should support decentralization wherever possible, but not at the expense of the majority of its values.”
- “We should not over complicate the protocol itself, and the more outside of the core protocol, the better.”
- Heavy emphasis on filtering changes through the goal of cross-border payments.

CoinDesk profiles McCaleb
Highlights:
- Interstellar is "trying to make the first killer app" - "a viable business built on Stellar"
- “People put the time frame wrong as dot-com, when actually it’s just way before like Arpanet kind of stuff”
- "He sees the next step in its evolution as enlisting more people to build the wallets and exchanges needed for it to truly become what it was meant to be: a useful, open-source protocol for payments."
- Stripe "need(s) the ecosystem to be a certain level of maturity, they need the anchor, the person issuing the fiat currency on the network. We need those entities to exist before they can use the network.”
- On IBM, he says: “They’re building a thing, WorldWire, that is a replacement for SWIFT, and it’s built on Stellar. We just talk to their engineers and help them through the process.”

Yahoo Finance interviews McCaleb
Highlights:
- "If it’s not a public chain, then you’re missing the point."
- "In the rest of the cryptocurrency world now, there’s this big push for tokenizing different things, and now there’s the stablecoin hype, and Stellar has sort of been doing this all along, we just weren’t calling it that."
