Ever wondered how the best Stellar projects come to life? Spark your inner entrepreneur and join the Mini-Stellar Community Fund, a fun and interactive hour-long competition where you and your teammates have less than 30 minutes to combine randomly picked business features and Stellar operations into a project idea. Prizes will go to the top 3 outcomes.
Since 2016, the Stellar Community Fund (SCF) and its predecessor have supported nearly 400 developers and businesses building on Stellar with almost $200M worth of XLM in funding. The fund has been iterated on many times based on community feedback, from improving submission guidelines to community voting to decentralizing decision making. With the approach of native smart contract functionality on Stellar, a once far-fetched interest becomes an attainable possibility to scale community participation: turning SCF into a DAO.
