Litemint, a Stellar Community Fund winner, shares lessons from applying to SCF twice: identifying community gaps, engaging with the ecosystem, and launching products iteratively. The gaming and NFT platform has grown to 1,400+ NFTs and 65,000+ tradable units on Stellar.
Litemint, a gaming and NFT platform built on Stellar, discusses its journey winning the Stellar Community Fund after an initial rejection. Founder Frederic Rezeau shares three key lessons: identifying gaps and partnering with established ecosystem players like Stellarport, actively engaging with the Stellar community across social channels to build trust, and launching products early to gather user feedback before scaling. Since winning SCF funding, Litemint has grown its NFT marketplace to over 1,400 created NFTs, 30+ hosted artists, and 65,000+ tradable units on the Stellar Decentralized Exchange. The platform is now focusing on feature parity with other chains, including collaborative minting, video NFT support, and USDC payment integration.
