A Twitter Space hosted by the Stellar community promotes a Giveth quadratic funding round for educational and community projects aimed at growing Stellar adoption. Projects from Turkey, Nigeria, and Cyprus pitch initiatives like workshops, hackathons, and gamified onboarding events focused on Soroban, dApps, and real-world Stellar use cases such as remittances with USDC. The round ends September 2nd with a $50,000 USDC matching pool exclusively for Stellar network donations using XLM.
The session is the final Twitter Space in a series organized by Stellar in partnership with Giveth to fund community-driven projects through quadratic funding, emphasizing education and events to boost Stellar adoption worldwide. Speakers from projects like Web3 Catalyzer Guru in Turkey plan university events to introduce Stellar's history, Soroban development, and community funds to students and developers. Nigerian initiatives from Guru and Chain Connect NG focus on hackathons, workshops, and a Web3 N3 series to onboard students and junior devs to Stellar wallets, dApps, and grants, targeting 500+ participants. SFX Super Money App from Turkey/Cyprus pitches a gamified 'Stellar Treasure Hunt' on campuses using QR codes, challenges, and XLM prizes to educate on Stellar while promoting their USDC/EURC remittance app. Stellar representatives highlight the global community-building aspect, urging cross-donations among projects. Donations must use Stellar network and XLM by September 2nd to qualify for the $50K USDC match, with guides provided for wallets like Lobster.
