Hello validators!
Today, the network upgraded to X-Ray: Protocol 25. Woohoo! Thanks for making that happen!
As a fast follow, we're coordinating a January 29, 2026 vote to upgrade network settings.
To arm your node for the vote, use the following command:
curl -G 'http://localhost:11626/upgrades?mode=set&upgradetime=2026-01-29T17:00:00Z' --data-urlencode 'configupgradesetkey=R4oHgxCRqAtKZoA/h3O1wFmI64JpWr+Jjugs+4Pajz3P5zNk6JCr9y7DuZ+8c4wrTbVlDDV4ixl2ntspI3PkAQ=='
The proposal would increase most of the Soroban ledger and transaction limits and adjust the disk reads that have been overlooked since p23 update You can find more details here:
