Elliott Voris from the Stellar Development Foundation presents the regional starter pack, a toolkit for developers building on Stellar in Mexico. The pack includes resources for discovering anchors like Etherfuse, working demo code, and a TypeScript library that abstracts anchor APIs to simplify on and off-ramp integration.
Elliott Voris, senior developer advocate at the Stellar Development Foundation, introduces the regional starter pack designed to help builders at the Mexico hackathon integrate anchor services for on and off-ramp functionality. The presentation covers anchor concepts, SEP standards, and payment rails like SPEI. Etherfuse representatives explain their offering of tokenized government securities (CETES bonds) integrated with SPEI in Mexico, featuring low 20 basis point fees enabled by yield-bearing assets. The starter pack provides three components: an anchor discovery resource, a working demo application, and a portable TypeScript library that normalizes different anchor APIs into a common interface. Elliott walks through live code examples showing how the library abstracts differences between Etherfuse, BlindPay, and AlphaPay, allowing developers to integrate anchors without deep API knowledge. The toolkit aims to reduce friction for developers testing anchor services and building real-world applications.
