Investing in the Stellar Community’s Vision
summary
Stellar Community Fund (SCF) is an open, community‑voted grant program that has awarded over 350 projects and distributed more than 100 million XLM to kickstart Stellar-based work. Examples in active deployment: an NFT marketplace launched in May with 1000+ stores and 160 verified artists plus 100,000 players; a wallet serving Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya with a non‑smartphone app handling 90% of transactions and local stablecoins; and a DeFi protocol (yieldblocks) using Stellar Turrets, exiting closed beta with ~70% of registrants actively testing. Funding ranges from hackathon sums to multi‑thousand XLM grants.
