The May 2026 SCF Mainnet Demo Day highlighted 50 Stellar Community Fund-backed projects now live on mainnet in 2026 alone. Across SCF 41, 42, and 43, the program has awarded approximately $7.7 million to nearly 75 projects, distributed based on milestone completion. Six projects presented: ContentDAO (reputation-based content creator protocol), Normal (non-custodial investing with yield on USDC), Rates (peer-to-peer currency exchange for remittances), Peridot Finance (cross-chain lending and borrowing), SocketFi (smart wallet for Web3 onboarding), and Alula (lending protocol with looping). All are live on mainnet with integrations including Coinbase, MoneyGram, Stripe, and DeFi Index. This milestone reflects the ecosystem's shift toward production: more projects shipping faster, with community-driven funding ensuring capital flows to builders solving real problems across DeFi, payments, and financial inclusion.
