Django Polaris is an extendable Django application that enables developers to build Stellar anchor servers implementing SEP standards. The talk demonstrates installing, configuring, and deploying a complete SEP24 anchor with deposit and withdrawal flows using integrations for custom banking rails and KYC.
This engineering talk covers Django Polaris, a reusable Django app that simplifies anchor server development by implementing standard SEP endpoints while allowing customization through integration functions. The speaker walks through creating a Django project, installing Polaris, configuring SEP1, SEP10, and SEP24 standards, and implementing key integrations including TOML file generation, banking rails mocking, and transaction processing. The demo shows a complete deposit and withdrawal flow on Testnet using the Stellar Reference Token, with Docker containerization for running multiple background processes. Polaris handles API endpoints and database models automatically while developers inject custom code for banking connections, KYC requirements, and UI customization.
