Real-world safety is being built on Stellar, and @lanternwallet is leading the way: • Every transaction explained in plain words before you sign • Recipients checked against an on-chain scam registry • Risky transactions held until you confirm • 270+ transactions scanned in alpha Lantern is a non-custodial Stellar wallet that reads every transaction before you sign it. Paste any link or message to check it, recover your wallet with guardians you trust, and open Stellar apps right inside your wallet. Report once, protect everyone. Open source, on Android and Chrome. At @riseinweb3, we keep following the teams we work with long after the grant. Lantern, from the @StellarOrg ecosystem, is our second Project Highlight 👇 🔗 golantern.xyz @BuildOnStellar

The best projects @BuildOnStellar, and @Gaian_hq is proof of it: - Live in 6 countries, including Vietnam and the Philippines - $200K+ processed with zero marketing - One API for wallets, remittance apps, exchanges, and fintechs Gaian turns stablecoins into local money. Users scan any local QR and pay in USDC; the merchant is paid out in local currency through local banks, settled on Stellar in under 2 seconds. At Rise In, our work with ecosystems doesn't end at the numbers or the grant. We keep following teams as they ship, enter new markets, and grow. Every week, our Project Spotlight will feature builders from a different country, and Gaian, one of the key projects in the @StellarOrg ecosystem, is the first. 🔗 gaian.network

15 projects from Türkiye 🇹🇷 received $75,000 in @StellarOrg Instaward grants in October! The hardest stretch for most projects is going from “it works” to “it’s being used.” @Stellar_Turkey supports that step through Instawards: 30-day sprints with a clear Statement of Work, verified at the end of each month with public evidence: GitHub repos, live demos, transaction hashes, Stellar Expert links. Projects that deliver can reapply for the next month. This month’s results: 15 projects, $5,000 each, $75,000 in total. 6 in their first month, 7 in their second, 2 in their third. 🥉 Third month: preparing for mainnet SprintOS AI Reviewer (@EgeCrypto) and Beaver402 (@EmrWeb3) are both already running on mainnet with real USDC: AI-assisted grant review that can never release funds, and x402 agent payments that can’t exceed owner-set limits. 🥈 Second month: opening up to users Verdict (agent-judged bounties), Paytag (send USDC to a GitHub/X username), Stellar Agent Search (@berkingurcan_), SpecGuard (breaking-change checks for Soroban contracts), Stellar Preflight (payment validation before sending), TrustRFQ (@acakbinxyz, on-chain OTC block liquidity), and Tellop (no-code Stellar app building). 🥇 First month: laying the foundation Kumbara (@keyyyy01, passkey-based dollar savings), Cashtag (@kayaa_keremm, USDC for verified creator reach), zkEmail Verifier on Stellar, Stellar Agent Auth (Doğukan Akar), Anchor Status (@rbeyzasarikaya), and x402 up to (@yu5ufkaya). 5 of the 15 are building AI agent payments and agentic infrastructure. You could be next. Define your project with the Chapter Lead → set a 30-day goal → grow month by month with Instawards → scale with SCF.
