SCF #43 concludes with 85 submissions and 29 project awards across three tracks under SCF 7.0. The Open Track awarded 10 of 39 submissions for novel on-chain use cases, including real estate compliance (lend.xyz) and cross-chain bridges (ProofBridge). The Integration Track, for projects building on existing ecosystem tools, awarded 19 of 30 submissions including leveraged trading (Turbolong), Turkish savings infrastructure (Sava), and neobanking platforms (Blockroll, JetPad). Total awards: $3.14M XLM. The referral program sourced 22 of 29 winners, marking the third consecutive round under this structured approach. The formalization has strengthened the ecosystem's sourcing pipeline by making community attribution explicit. RFP Track submissions for SCF #44's Q2 2026 developer tooling initiatives are now open.
