DFS Lab and Stellar Development Foundation announced a virtual bootcamp (November 1-4) for Stellar Community Fund applicants, featuring design sprint methodology to rapidly prototype and validate financial products. Participants will work with mentors, community members, and Stellar engineers to move from problem definition to tested prototype in four days.
DFS Lab and the Stellar Development Foundation hosted an informational webinar about an upcoming virtual bootcamp for Stellar Community Fund participants. The bootcamp runs November 1-4 and uses design sprint methodology to help teams rapidly prototype and validate financial solutions. Participants define a problem on day one, ideate solutions on day two, storyboard on day three, and prototype with community feedback on day four. The bootcamp features global timezone coverage, community voting and engagement, gamification with cash prizes, and support from Stellar engineers and DFS Lab mentors. Past participants Emmanuel (LINC) and Marvellous (Crop2Cash) shared how the bootcamp accelerated their product development and led to Stellar Community Fund grants. The submission deadline for SCF Round 11 is September 25, with an 8 million XLM grant pool available.
