Stellar (XLM) - Protocol X-Ray Mainnet - 22 Jan 2026
On January 22, 2026, Stellar (XLM) will start its Protocol X-Ray on the mainnet. This change makes it easier and cheaper to build special apps with strong privacy using ZK technology. Adding BN254 and Poseidon support is important for developers and may bring new users to the Stellar network. If more people use Stellar because of these upgrades, this could help XLM’s price rise. However, it may also take time before this technology brings real growth in users, so price impact may not be very fast.sourceComing soon: Protocol X-Ray, all about privacy.Bringing native BN254 + Poseidon to Soroban.
