Java Stellar SDK - SCF Public Goods Award Q1 ’26
The Java Stellar SDK received an SCF Public Goods Award in Q1 2026, securing 13,000 XLM in funding. This SDK enables Java developers to build applications on the Stellar network, expanding language support in the ecosystem.
The Java Stellar SDK, maintained by the lightsail-network team, has been awarded 13,000 XLM through the Stellar Community Fund's Public Goods program in Q1 2026. The proposal, submitted by overcat, provides ongoing funding for development and maintenance of this critical developer tool. Java is one of the most widely-used programming languages globally, and providing a native SDK lowers the barrier to entry for Java developers building applications on Stellar and Soroban. The award underscores the SCF's commitment to funding essential ecosystem infrastructure that benefits the broader developer community and strengthens Java's position as a supported language for Stellar development.
