Stellar Developers meeting featuring Renat's presentation on zero-knowledge group membership proofs for Soroban contracts, followed by Kaan's overview of AI orchestration tools like Paperclip for developer workflows.

Educational tutorial on developing smart contracts with Soroban, Stellar's WebAssembly-based smart contract platform. Covers the 7-step process from CLI installation to contract deployment and invocation on testnet.

Stellar's X-Ray upgrade enables zero-knowledge privacy on its network through BN254 elliptic curves and Poseidon hashing, allowing optional privacy layers with compliance tools like confidential tokens and privacy pools to coexist with transparency.

Stellar Developer Meeting covering Protocol 26 launch on testnet, agentic payments (X402 and MPP), and a demo of NoEther, a new perpetual DEX built on Stellar with support for isolated and cross-margin trading.

Stellar Developer Meeting covering Protocol 26 testnet launch, AI agents and agentic payments (X402/MPP), $2B in tokenized RWAs on network, and live demo of NoEther perpetual DEX platform built on Stellar.

Tomer Weller, CPO at Stellar Development Foundation, discusses configurable privacy as the key to institutional blockchain adoption. Privacy pools and confidential tokens enable selective data protection while preserving transparency, with implementations like Stellar Private Payments now live and expected institutional adoption in 2026.

Developer shares experience building Rhythm Slice, a Guitar Hero-style pizza game with zero-knowledge privacy contracts on Stellar, created during a gaming-focused hackathon using AI agents Claude and Anthropic to handle smart contract development and UI implementation.

Developer showcases Kalion, a zero-knowledge proof-based Asteroids game on Stellar that enables off-chain computation with on-chain verification. The project demonstrates how ZK proofs can handle complex, computationally intensive tasks like 60 FPS gameplay over 10 minutes, proving fair play while minting Kalean tokens to winners.

Speaker discusses the intersection of AI and crypto, arguing that Stellar's infrastructure is uniquely positioned to enable autonomous agents to conduct transactions, hold funds, and earn revenue independently on-chain.

Type Zero is a web3 typing game built on Stellar that uses RISC Zero's ZKVM to generate zero-knowledge proofs verifying game scores on-chain. All game logic is deterministic and verified through Soroban smart contracts, eliminating trust in frontend or backend.

Tutorial demonstrating how to write zero-knowledge circuits in Noir, compile them to R1CS, generate Groth16 proofs with Snark.js, and verify them on Stellar blockchain via smart contracts.

The Stellar monthly news show discusses Lindsay's departure from the Stellar Development Foundation, addresses a recent price feed manipulation incident on Blend with full reimbursements, and covers highlights like ETH Denver events, a successful ZK gaming hackathon, and the 2026 foundation strategy targeting 1 billion in network growth. Lightning round updates include SushiSwap V3 launch, new SDKs, partnerships, and upcoming events like the Mexico hackathon. The episode ends with community reflections and farewells.

Stellar protocol discussions on CAP81 and CAP82: CAP81 optimizes eviction scanning by leveraging in-memory state instead of disk lookups, simplifying code and improving performance. CAP82 adds eight checked 256-bit integer arithmetic host functions to enable overflow handling in smart contracts.

Khan from the Stellar Development Foundation explains Stellar Private Payments (SPP), a zero-knowledge proof-based privacy solution built by NetherMind that enables confidential transactions on Stellar while maintaining compliance through Association Set Providers.

Nethermind's Stellar Private Payments (SPP) brings zero-knowledge privacy to Stellar using Protocol X-Ray, enabling compliant private transactions through Association State Providers (ASPs) for enterprises and users.

Tutorial on generating and verifying Noir zero-knowledge proofs in Stellar smart contracts. Demonstrates setting up a local Stellar testnet, compiling Noir circuits, generating proofs with Barretenberg, and verifying them on-chain using Soroban.

Stellar Protocol 25 Project X-Ray ships native ZK primitives (BN254, Poseidon) to mainnet. Boundless Networks verifier and Nethermind's Grot16 implementation enable production-ready privacy infrastructure with configurable compliance for institutions.

Stellar Protocol 25 (Project X-Ray) launches native ZK primitives including BN254 and Poseidon, enabling production-ready privacy infrastructure. Boundless verifier and NetherMind's Groth16 implementation are now live on Stellar Mainnet, allowing developers to build configurable, compliant privacy applications.

Stellar launches a zero-knowledge gaming hackathon running February 9-22 with a $10,000 XLM prize pool. Participants can use Stellar Game Studio, Risc Zero, and Noir to build on-chain games with zero-knowledge proofs on Stellar testnet.

Joaquín Farfán from Blessed UX demonstrates building smart contracts on Stellar's Soroban using OpenZeppelin libraries, showing how developers can create secure contracts without deep software engineering expertise.

A tutorial demonstrates building a rebasing token (RUSD) on the Stellar blockchain that accepts USDC deposits and automatically accrues yield by increasing holders' balances. The token uses a share-based system where added collateral, simulating yield from protocols like Blend, proportionally boosts all users' balances without needing to stake or interact further. Users can hold RUSD in their wallets and watch balances grow in real-time.

The Stellar Developer Meeting features the OpenSapplin team presenting Q4 2025 library releases: WAD for high-precision decimal arithmetic in Soroban smart contracts, fee abstraction for paying transaction fees with tokens like USDC instead of XLM, and the timelock module as the start of a governance package. These tools enhance developer experience, enable smart account functionality via relayers, and improve contract governance transparency and safety. The team highlights ongoing momentum and community adoption.

Stellar protocol discussion covering three CAPs: CAP-78 on improved DTL extension management for contracts, CAP-79 adding host functions for muxed address conversions, and CAP-77 proposing a protocol-level mechanism to freeze corrupted ledger entries during emergencies.

Educational overview of Stellar's mission to create accessible global finance, explaining the Stellar Consensus Protocol, anchors as fiat bridges, and introducing Soroban smart contracts with a practical crowdfunding example.
