The Stellar Development Foundation outlines three active programs under the $100M Soroban Adoption Fund: Stellar Quest Live Series 6 for competitive learning, Sorobanathon: Equinox for experimentation and content creation, and the Stellar Community Fund for building full products. Each targets different developer skill levels with varying award structures.
The Stellar Development Foundation has published a comprehensive guide to current Soroban Adoption Fund programs, which distribute $100M to support developer adoption. Three programs are currently live: Stellar Quest Live Series 6 (arcade-style coding challenges with 5-10,000 USDC awards), Sorobanathon: Equinox (low-lift experimentation with 25-10,000 XLM per submission), and the Stellar Community Fund (full product development with up to $150k per project). The guide explains which program suits different developer levels, from learners to builders, and notes that SCF now runs every four weeks with increased frequency. Additional programs and opportunities are planned as the foundation continues optimizing how it deploys the $100M fund.
