At Tellus Cooperative's Builder Night, a 30-minute hackathon tested rapid shipping through clear infrastructure and social momentum. Builders claimed pizzas with a PIZZA token via Sozu wallets on Stellar, proving practical merchant integration and low barrier to entry.
Tellus Cooperative hosted Builder Night in Buenos Aires, testing a formula for rapid shipping: clear infrastructure (Stellar Raven MCP), shared goals aligned to Stellar Community Fund criteria, and tangible rewards. Fifty builders competed in a 30-minute hackathon to ship ideas. Stellar Raven reduced friction — builders had full context at their fingertips instead of searching fragmented sources. The result: participants shipped ideas fast, and the social layer created momentum. The highlight was the pizza demo. Builders claimed Neapolitan pizzas using a custom SAC PIZZA token on testnet, connected to Sozu self-custodial wallets via QR checkout. Scan, confirm, pizza arrives. No crypto ritual — just an on-chain asset turning into everyday utility. Notably, a newcomer with no blockchain knowledge reached the finals. From "What is Stellar?" to finalist in an evening, proving the ecosystem's barrier-to-entry reduction.
