Stellar Development Foundation's new leadership outlines five strategic priorities: achieving financial inclusion through technology focus, building products that prove Stellar's value, engaging on policy matters, and increasing communication. SDF is launching a dollar savings app for Latin America and hosting its first Meridian conference in Mexico City.

The new SDF leadership shares a strategic vision centered on five key priorities. First, the foundation reaffirms that global financial inclusion is achievable but requires breaking the goal into manageable pieces. Second, SDF commits to continued technology focus, including validator improvements, network performance and scalability enhancements, and better developer tools and SDKs. Third, the foundation is building products that demonstrate Stellar's value, specifically a dollar savings and payments app targeting Latin American users. Fourth, SDF plans to engage proactively on policy and regulatory matters to build frameworks that protect consumers without stifling innovation. Finally, the foundation emphasizes communication, announcing new hires for brand marketing and communications roles, and unveiling Meridian, the first Stellar Conference scheduled for November 4-5, 2019 in Mexico City.
