The Stellar Development Foundation has supported the decision to delay the network's update to add smart contracts due to a software bug. Initially, foundation representatives minimized the severity of this bug but revised their position in response to critiques from the developer community.

The flaw had the potential to disrupt the operation of decentralized applications and services built on the new smart contracts. As a result, the Stellar Foundation validators have chosen to withhold their support for the update scheduled for January 30, favoring a delay. This move aims to allow ample time to thoroughly fix the issue.
