DeFi, payments, tokenization, Soroban, governance, and project launches — curated daily from publications, project blogs, and community channels across the Stellar blockchain ecosystem.
A step-by-step guide for asset issuers to list their assets on the Stellar Reflector Oracle, ensuring reliable price tracking across the Stellar network. The process involves establishing liquidity, maintaining trading activity, gathering community feedback, submitting a DAO proposal, and ongoing monitoring.
Tansu has successfully validated the first tranche of its Stellar Community Fund build Award, completing three key milestones for a decentralized organization (DAO) on Stellar. This includes a Soroban smart contract backend with DAO functionality, a matching frontend, and extensive maintenance work. Additional efforts focus on IPFS integration, design improvements, anonymous voting, and reducing external dependencies for true decentralization.
Reflector DAO has voted to add Lightsail and CreitTech as node providers, expanding its quorum to seven trusted participants. This decentralization strengthens Reflector's oracle infrastructure for providing secure price feeds to the Stellar ecosystem.
Tansu has received a Stellar Community Fund build Award. The official announcement is available on Medium, and details of their submission are in a linked blog post. They are on track for the MVP phase with added features like IPFS support for proposals.
Tansu is launching a DAO system that enables communities to govern their projects in a decentralized fashion. All projects created on Tansu will receive their own DAO with transparent, immutable governance through smart contracts and IPFS-stored proposals.
Tansu, a Stellar dApp, introduces an on-chain 'Support' button for funding open source projects directly via Soroban Domains. This creates transparent, costless, and borderless funding using Stellar addresses and smart contracts. Future developments include DAO-based fund management through the SCF Build program.
Tansu project announces submission for SCF Build award, outlining plans for a decentralized platform with DAOs for project management and reputation badges for contributors. The proposal includes on-chain release processes, fund allocation via wallets and potential Quadratic Funding, and a detailed roadmap across MVP, Testnet, and Mainnet phases. Emphasis is placed on community governance, transparency, and open-source sustainability within the Stellar ecosystem.
Reflector is a decentralized oracle protocol for Stellar that provides reliable price feeds for smart contracts and DeFi applications. The protocol is governed by the Reflector DAO using the xRF utility token, which enables governance, rewards cluster operators, and provides access to advanced price feed subscriptions.
A protocol on Stellar has deployed an airdrop of its governance token to early and super adopters, distributing 28.8 million out of 64 million total supply via claimable balances. Claim deadline is April 30, 2024, with unclaimed tokens returning to the DAO treasury. Future protocol fees will fund the DAO for community governance.
Creit protocol on Stellar celebrates over 200 domains registered with 130k+ XLM collateral after one month. They're launching DAO governance by distributing nearly half the governance token supply to early adopters as thanks. Upcoming features include domain buy/sell and full governance contract by end of April.
Australian crypto companies Upside and Stables announce a partnership to deliver Web3 education, events, and content, while providing Stables a Melbourne base at Upside HQ. Stables offers a digital wallet for spending, sending, and earning stablecoins, aiding businesses with treasury and payroll. The collaboration aims to boost crypto adoption in Australia.
FxDAO announces a shift to quarterly updates and the deployment of its protocol on Soroban testnet. They've launched a new self-hosted website, a JavaScript SDK for integration, and an official Discord server. The team is preparing for Soroban mainnet launch.
FXDAO announces it is the first legally incorporated DAO on the Soroban network, providing legal recognition to the project. They are developing a governance contract to manage all other protocol contracts, ensuring community approval for changes. The protocol is nearing completion and ready for deployment on Soroban once the network launches.
A DAO is nearing legal incorporation and aims to be the first fully operating on the Soroban network. They've completed the Safety Pool contract, which liquidates undercollateralized vaults to maintain protocol health, but face integration issues due to Soroban preview limitations. Next steps include refactoring contracts and developing the Staking Pool.
FxDAO critiques traditional DAO governance models like 'more shares, more votes' for favoring whales, insiders, and early participants, proposing a novel system combining modified democratic voting, quadratic voting, and anti-spam measures. Key features include locking tokens for proposals and votes that redistribute to participants, human verification to prevent sybil attacks, and high-threshold democratic votes for structural changes. This aims to balance fairness, participation, and security within the Stellar ecosystem.
FxDAO shares its April 2023 monthly update on building the first legally incorporated DAO on the Stellar Soroban network. They've developed a protocol compatible with Soroban preview 8, deployed webapps on Futurenet for vault management, and are progressing toward legal incorporation within 30-60 days. Future updates will cover ongoing protocol development and DAO setup.
Synced's December 2022 development log outlines aims to release dashboards on their dev web app, learn Rust and Soroban, and test a simple DAO contract. Progress includes merging dashboards into the main product and gaining comfort with Rust, noting Soroban's simplicity. The log is signed by Tejas.
