The Stellar Development Foundation has indicated an interest in delaying the Protocol 20 upgrade originally slated for January 30 on the Stellar blockchain network.

The cause of this decision is traced back to the identification of a critical bug that could potentially impact Soroban's smart contract transactions.

The Foundation seeks to pause the upgrade to rectify the situation and ensure smooth operation post-upgrade.
