Stellar Lumen’s Rally Stems From Tech Upgrades
Stellar reached 217.4 TPS on September 26, 2026. That’s the best transactions-per-second rate ever recorded. The question whether this will reflect in the longer term, as Stellar Lumen’s TPS also depends on Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) efficiency and propagation.
How quickly transaction sets spread across validators and how consensus proceeds. XLM’s latest Protocol 28 (Adapter / CAP-83) improved this by allowing validators to begin voting before a full transaction set arrives and to handle late sets more cleanly, helping under-load.
That kind of capability is only made possible by Protocol 28. This key chain upgrade kicked in mid-September, 2026. The cutting-edge consensus mechanism now lets validators vote on XLM chain amendments before the whole batch of transactions arrive on the network.
