Stellar Development Foundation hosted a 48-hour NFT hackathon workshop covering NFT fundamentals, Stellar-specific implementation, and building innovative royalty-payment NFTs with smart contract logic.
The Stellar Development Foundation conducted a comprehensive workshop for the South by Southwest Financial 3.0 Summit NFT Hackathon, offering $10,000 in XLM prizes. Speakers Anka Liu and Tyler Vanderhoeven explained NFT technology, Stellar's unique advantages for NFT projects, and walked through building a royalty-payment NFT system. Key topics included fungibility concepts, smart contract fundamentals, Stellar's equitable validator model, and technical implementation using authorized assets, trust lines, and sponsorship mechanics. The workshop demonstrated a working royalty-payment system where NFT sales automatically route 10% back to original minters, showcasing how decentralized logic can enforce consistent rules without intermediaries.
