Seven Vietnamese teams received October Instawards from Stellar Community Fund, targeting operational problems faced daily by payment companies, fintechs, traders and Soroban developers—treasury management, FX hedging, API infrastructure, tokenized assets, risk protection, testing tools, and contract state management.

This month seven Vietnamese teams received Instawards from the Stellar Community Fund, bringing Vietnam's total funded cohort to 25 projects. What distinguishes this group: each targets a specific operational challenge that payment companies, fintechs, trading platforms and Soroban developers face daily. LiquidX replaces scattered multi-chain treasuries with a single Stellar vault, cutting capital costs and settlement time. FXLock brings forward contracts on-chain for businesses lacking banking relationships. Steai creates an API marketplace enabling AI agents to pay per request without multiple signups. UniR packages tokenized equity indices into one-step deposit-and-mint products. Tosbi adds leveraged trade protection via options. Parhelion gives developers local mainnet fork testing. TTL Radar automates Soroban contract state restoration. The article frames each project within concrete ecosystem use cases and calls for integration partners, investors, and pilot customers.
