Developer Activity

XOXNO is an enterprise-grade decentralized lending protocol built on Stellar's Soroban smart contract platform. It opens up advanced on-chain capital strategies to more market participants through a clean and intuitive UI/UX, with plans to integrate RWA markets. Core features include eMode-style capital efficiency optimizations for correlated assets, looping strategies, leveraged long/short exposure via native aggregator integrations, flash loans, isolated liquidity pools with independent risk profiles, NFT-based position management, and multi-source oracle protection. The team previously built and scaled the XOXNO DeFi platform on MultiversX since 2021, serving 100,000+ users and processing $40M in on-chain marketplace volume.

XCCY is a decentralized protocol enabling fixed income markets on Stellar (Soroban) and EVM chains, powered by on-chain interest rate swaps (IRS). It lets users lock deposit yields and loan costs, hedging variable rate volatility. Core products include Lock Yield (fixed-rate deposits and loans), IRS trading (move from floating to fixed with one swap), and XLP (vault-based liquidity layer). Live on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Polygon since January 2026; Stellar/Soroban implementation underway via SCF #43 grant.

WOWMAX is a multi-chain DEX aggregator and cross-chain bridge aggregator expanding to Stellar. It routes swaps across Stellar's DEXes (SDEX, Soroswap, Phoenix, Aquarius) via a modified A* algorithm for best-execution pricing, and aggregates cross-chain bridges (Near Intents, Allbridge, Axelar) for Stellar↔Ethereum and Stellar↔EVM transfers. Already live across 20+ EVM chains with $2B+ trading volume and 336,000+ unique traders, WOWMAX brings unified DeFi access and cross-chain liquidity to the Stellar ecosystem.

VANK is a multicurrency B2B payments platform for US-LatAm cross-border trade, processing over $115M in TPV across 40 enterprise clients. The company is building VANK Anchor: a Stellar-native USDC-COP on/off ramp for Colombia enabling COP deposits via PSE and USDC delivery to partner Stellar accounts (on-ramp), and USDC-to-COP disbursements via ACH/bank transfer with OFAC/PEP compliance screening (off-ramp), implemented via SEP-24, SEP-6, SEP-38, SEP-10, and SEP-1.

Decentralized commodity trade finance platform that generates on-chain yield from asset-backed commodity financing trades. Pipeline targets the ~$2.5 trillion trade finance gap — widened by Basel III regulatory changes that made short-duration commodity-backed lending to mid-market traders uneconomic for banks — by providing institutional-grade rails for digital asset investors to access high, asset-backed yield with short duration (30–180 days). Built on Soroban/Stellar with institutional custody (BitGo), KYC/AML screening, and a 3-of-5 Risk Council multisig governance structure.

Lend is building compliant infrastructure for tokenized real estate on-chain, connecting global digital capital with high-yielding real estate operations through legally structured, asset-backed tokens. Users can invest stablecoins into professionally originated deals targeting 8–15% APR, with programmable yield distribution and secondary market liquidity. By integrating with Stellar, Lend leverages its fast, low-cost settlement layer to issue and manage tokenized real estate assets efficiently, enabling DeFi composability, cross-border access, and scalable compliance.

Stellar Quickstart is an official SDF Docker image that runs a complete local Stellar development environment, bundling Stellar Core, Horizon, and RPC in local, testnet, and futurenet modes. It includes a Friendbot faucet at :8000/friendbot to fund new testnet or local accounts with test XLM, letting builders develop against a private network or testnet without external services. It is integrated with the Stellar CLI for starting and stopping containers.

The Stellar CLI is the official command-line tool for Stellar/Soroban developers. `stellar keys generate <name> --fund` generates a keypair and funds it with test XLM via Friendbot (the testnet faucet, ~10,000 XLM) — the fastest way to fund a testnet account. It also deploys and invokes contracts, starts local testnets, and manages keys, accounts, and XDR.

Friendbot is Stellar's official testnet faucet: an SDF-hosted bot that funds new accounts and Soroban contracts with 10,000 fake test XLM (lumens) so developers can get started. It works via a simple HTTP GET to friendbot.stellar.org on Testnet (friendbot-futurenet.stellar.org on Futurenet) and is the canonical way to fund a testnet account.

Turbolong is a one-click leveraged trading platform on Stellar. Users open amplified long positions on Blend Protocol pools through atomic recursive lending loops: no perpetual futures, no funding rates, just direct on-chain leverage with sub-5-second finality. The platform supports up to 12.9× leverage across 8+ assets and 3 Blend pools today, with a managed-vault version (auto-rebalancing) built on DeFindex. Our vision is to make leveraged DeFi accessible on Stellar by combining (a) the speed and cost advantages of Soroban, (b) recursive lending strategies that earn BLND emissions on top of the underlying asset yield, and (c) one-click UX that hides multi-step DeFi complexity behind a single signed transaction. We want Turbolong to be the default leverage venue on Stellar: for retail users seeking yield amplification, for vault depositors looking for managed leveraged real-world-yield products, and for cross-chain capital that has never had a reason to come to Stellar before.

The Signal is an open-source protocol that transforms Web3 business development into a permissionless, on-chain marketplace. Today, service discovery and deal execution in Web3 are opaque and fragmented. Founders face trust and payment risks, service providers struggle to scale distribution, and business developers operate in informal networks with no enforceable compensation. The Signal solves this coordination gap through verified discovery (ranking providers by execution performance), ServiceFi escrow (releasing funds only upon verified milestone completion), and permissionless distribution (enabling on-chain commission bounties with code-enforced revenue splits). The result is transparent, trust-minimized hiring and scalable growth for Web3 services, without centralized intermediaries.

Tezoro is a DeFi yield aggregator that aggregates 2,000+ markets and automatically keeps user assets in the top-yielding positions, targeting 8.3% net APY.

Tezoro aggregates Stellar-native protocols and bridges the highest yields from other chains to Stellar. It serves retail users, institutions, and DAOs seeking the best DeFi returns directly on Stellar.
