Fee bumps will help users cover for fees. It also increases fees for pre-signed transactions. It provides validators and offers the flexibility to increase rates. Protocol 13 offers a new flag that allows revoking authorization yet maintaining orders. This makes it much easier to tokenize regulated assets. Protocol 13 will introduce a new kind of account that allows addresses including a built-in 64-bit memo.
The new upgrade also includes two optimizations including CAP-28 and CAP-30. CAP-28 offers a small enhancement in convenience for users dealing with pre-auth signers. While CAP-30 stops checking for issuing accounts if an asset exists through the payment, and path payment, alongside placing or managing an offer. These changes have been merged and added to Stellar Core v13.0.0. According to the report, the testnet is already in motion on Protocol 13.
