Overview
The Saturn release aligns Cofinity-X components with the latest Tractus-X specifications. It introduces updates that enhance connector compatibility, data exchange stability, and policy management across participating companies.
EDC Compatibility & Upgrade Guidance
Recent Tractus-X release notes (see here) mention complex topics around policy and DSP version compatibility. Below is what this means for Cofinity-X participants:
No immediate upgrade required:
Existing participants using the Jupiter version can continue data exchange seamlessly. There is no need to update to Saturn immediately, and Jupiter will remain supported for at least another year.Gradual migration recommended:
Participants are encouraged to plan upgrades to Saturn during 2026 to ensure alignment with future compatibility and features.App Providers and Enablement Service Providers:
It is a business decision when to release Saturn-compliant stacks. Before participants can upgrade, their respective App Provider must make a Saturn version of the stack available.For Saturn-based participants:
A provider must create separate Contract Definitions for Jupiter and Saturn consumers of the same asset.
Usage policies must align with the schema of each version.
Access policies should always follow the new Saturn rules.
A new Management API endpoint supports correct DSP version handling between Saturn and Jupiter connectors.

What This Means for You
Situation | Action |
You are currently using a Jupiter stack | Continue operations - no change required |
You plan to adopt Saturn soon | Wait for your App/Enablement Provider to release a Saturn-compliant version |
You already operate Saturn components | Ensure Contract Definitions and policies are configured for both Jupiter and Saturn consumers |
You are a Service or App Provider | Plan a Saturn-compliant release during 2026 to stay aligned with ecosystem evolution |
We will continuously update these notes as more information becomes available.
