Hoops Finance shares their success in the Myosin x BuildOnStellar GTM Accelerator, winning best Go-To-Market Strategy by refining their messaging around Stellar-based Smart Accounts and APIs. They highlight their Meridian 2025 pitch in Rio and the launch of Trustfall: Vault Wars, a gamified DeFi experience on Stellar. The post outlines future plans to scale their innovative DeFi tools.
Hoops Finance completed the Myosin x BuildOnStellar accelerator, focusing on Go-to-Market strategies rather than fundraising, and won the best GTM pitch by simplifying their narrative: making Stellar liquidity accessible via Smart Accounts and APIs, emphasizing loop-based growth over funnels, and adopting a Wise Sage-Rebel voice. At Meridian 2025 in Rio, they pitched to the Stellar ecosystem, addressing key questions on strategy, yields, and challenges, reinforcing their agentic algorithm and user-focused iteration. They introduced Trustfall: Vault Wars, a game applying the Prisoner's Dilemma to DeFi where players deposit assets into yield strategies, make trust/defect choices with real on-chain rewards, and build reputation in factions—all with zero principal loss. The experience aims to make DeFi fun, social, and educational. Looking ahead, Hoops plans to ship more features, test Trustfall, and scale their Smart Accounts and Data API to humanize DeFi on Stellar.
