Stellar’s Big Protocol 28 Upgrade Set For Testnet And Mainnet
Stellar (@StellarOrg) is preparing Protocol 28, known as Adapter, for its next network upgrade.
The testnet vote is scheduled for August 27, followed by the mainnet vote September 16.
The upgrade includes:
- CAP-83 is designed to improve consensus performance when transaction data propagates slowly.
- CAP-85 will allow multiple contracts sharing code to be upgraded together.
- CAP-86 will make contract data migrations easier through new sparse map functions.
Stellar recommends SDK users update before the respective testnet and mainnet deadlines.
OpenPay is Officially Fully Released!
OpenPay is no longer in beta, under development, or a work in progress.
The platform is now fully released and functional, with its core payment features available and ready for use. This marks a major milestone for OpenPay and its vision of providing practical digital payment solutions within the Pi ecosystem.
At this stage, the remaining step is for the Pi Core Team to review and list OpenPay within the Pi Mainnet Ecosystem, making the platform accessible and discoverable through the official ecosystem.
OpenPay is ready. The platform is live. The infrastructure is in place. We are now waiting for ecosystem recognition.

Pi Network @PiCoreTeam joins RoboPay as a payment partner. Pi will be used to pay for robot services across the Fabric network.
RoboPay was built to enable AI agents to discover, hire, coordinate, and pay robots autonomously onchain, transforming robots from connected machines into autonomous economic actors capable of providing real-world services.
Today, that same infrastructure extends beyond AI.
Tens of millions of Pi users will have access to robot services directly through the use of currency that they already hold. Once available, the anticipated robot services may include requesting a delivery robot to bring groceries, dispatching a security robot to patrol a property, scheduling an inspection robot for industrial facilities, or interacting with humanoid assistants in retail and hospitality. Autonomous labor may become as accessible as any digital service.
This partnership marks a fundamental shift in how humans are able to interact with robotics. Instead of purchasing robots themselves, users will be able to simply purchase outcomes. Physical intelligence becomes an on-demand service that is discoverable, programmable, and instantly payable through a shared economic network.
By connecting humans, AI agents, and robots through the same payment infrastructure, RoboPay and Pi have created the foundation for an open machine economy, where autonomous labor can participate in everyday commerce alongside real people.
The future isn't just AI that can think. It's an economy where humans, AI, and robots are all able to transact, collaborate, and create value together.
