Lumen Loop's take

The Stellar Development Foundation is running #BetterOnStellar, a global campaign inviting developers, creators, and visionaries to submit ideas for how blockchain can solve real-world problems. Participants create short videos or written posts describing their vision and submit entries via the campaign website for a chance to win from a $30k USDC award pool. The campaign focuses on three categories: Better Finance (leveraging Stellar's low costs and DeFi ecosystem), Better Creativity (using Soroban smart contracts for creator tools), and Better Access (improving blockchain accessibility through features like passkeys and Wallet SDK). Award tiers include one $10k Visionary winner, four $2.5k Catalyst winners, and ten $1k Dreamer winners. The initiative welcomes participants of all skill levels, from experienced developers to anyone with a good idea.
