Khan from SDF walks developers through Stellar 101: protocol fundamentals where payments are native, the ecosystem of standards and tools, and funding opportunities through the Stellar Development Foundation. Hosted alongside Hack Meridian hackathon prep (Oct 25-26, Lisbon, $30K in prizes).
Khan, Senior Developer Advocate at the Stellar Development Foundation, leads a live stream covering why builders should develop on Stellar. The talk spans Stellar's design (payments as a protocol primitive), account architecture, native assets and standards (SEPs), how anchors connect to fiat rails, and the practical development workflow. Second half covers developer tools, AI-assisted development, and funding pathways including SCF and hackathon opportunities. Sasha from WebZero co-hosts, emphasizing the Hack Meridian hackathon (October 25-26 in Lisbon with $30,000 in prizes across Genesis and Scale tracks).
