Who wants their logo on a racing jersey? 😅 Trying to pull off a go-kart morning in Lisbon during @StellarOrg Meridian week. Looking to find at least 3 to 4 ecosystem projects to jump in on a micro sponsorship. Hit that by Thursday EOD and the Luma goes live. Miss it and a few of us race in @CoUnity_ jerseys anyway 🏎️ DMs open, or tag someone who’d be into it.

Q3 was another big quarter for @stellarorg: $25.1B in stablecoin volume [+314% YoY) and $4B+ in RWAs (+548% YoY). So, the assets are here, and will continue to grow. Now, we focus on making them more useful, usable and used. More distribution. More utility. Payments, lending, collateral, repo and beyond. And more to come next week at Meridian 2026. See you in Lisbon.
A little light reading for the trip to Meridian? The Q3 report is here: 🔥 Stablecoin volume grew 121% QoQ 🔥 RWAs on Stellar reached $4.1 billion 🔥 Monthly active developers hit 3,922 🔥 New Tier 1 validators and 2 protocol upgrades 🔥 99.99% uptime stellar.org/quarterly-report…

The @StellarOrg "Security Office Hours" series concluded last week, surpassing our initial expectations! The 5-week program confirmed our belief that a well-structured builder's support initiative would: a) be very appreciated by the community, especially by teams with less resources to access domain expertise and b) contribute to raising the ecosystems' shared understanding of better protocol security and development practices, especially across higher code correctness assurance methods. We collectively spend dozens of hours discussing everything from audit preparedness and threat modeling to dev tooling and protocol design choices, where: >30 teams asked for dedicated 1:1 time with our Soroban security researchers and >50 developers registered for workshops on debugging, fuzzing, and formal verification. Stellar is a continually evolving ecosystem and protocol. If regular, dedicated access to such programs is something your team would find valuable let us, or the @BuildOnStellar team, know! The next chance to do so live will be during Meridian (October 28-29, where you'll find our team participating in a variety of talks and side events 🇵🇹

a lot has happened across @StellarOrg over the last couple of weeks. figured i’d put some of the coolest stuff in one place 👇 - @chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams went live on Stellar mainnet. Enterprise grade oracles for a $3.5B+ RWA ecosystem. lending, perps, and prediction markets finally get real pricing onchain. - @StateStreet launched SWEEP, a tokenized cash fund on Stellar. 24/7 stablecoin access for institutions, no more waiting on banking hours. - @Spiko_finance’s eurSAFO earned S&P’s top marks on both scales: AAAf credit quality, S1+ volatility. Hard to do better than that. - @BVNKFinance integrated Stellar. $39B in annual stablecoin volume now moving through 5 second settlement and sub cent fees. - @pwc_de put EOS Group’s securitization payouts on Stellar smart contracts. payout cycle went from 30 days to 1 day, settled in @AllUnityStable MiCA regulated euro stablecoin. - The @IMFNews Global Financial Stability Report names Stellar as one of the handful of networks where tokenized activity actually concentrates. - @centrifuge launched $HYB and $deHYB: NY Life’s actively managed US high-yield corporate bond strategy, tokenized, with a transferable version built for DeFi collateral. - @ZenithProtocols went live as the first onchain perps exchange on Stellar. - @spectra_finance brought yield tokenization to Stellar. principal and yield tokens trading from day one. - @ultrastellar launched 1:1 bridged ETH, BTC, SOL, and XRP on Stellar via Axelar. Hold them, earn yield on them, redeem anytime. - @axis_dex , a smart contract limit order book from the @StellarExpert team, hit testnet. No signup, no custody, no fees. Mainnet launch soon. probably missed some cool shit too, so drop anything I missed in the replies 👀

High-yield corporate bonds are now live on @StellarOrg. $HYB brings @NYLIManagement actively managed U.S. high-yield corporate bond strategy onchain as a tokenized fund. $deHYB opens new ways to use that exposure across DeFi. As a freely transferable token, the strategy can become a building block across lending, collateral, fixed-rate markets and many other DeFi use cases. A new category of institutional credit is now available to build with on Stellar.

If you’re building on Stellar, this is one you shouldn’t miss! @orbitlens is the mind behind @in_reflector, @stellar_experts, @axis_dex, and several other projects in the ecosystem. Tomorrow, he’ll be sharing what it takes to build and scale products on Stellar Definitely worth joining, especially with Meridian around the corner!
Scaling a product on Stellar? @orbitlens has done it more than once. He joins @0xkaankacar on the Weekly Developer Meeting tomorrow at 11am PT (6pm UTC) to walk through what actually worked. Set a reminder: calendar.google.com/calendar…

Willow now supports @StellarOrg, our first non-EVM chain. A contract on Ethereum mainnet verified our proof of 64 Stellar ledgers, with 20,361 Soroban events and balance changes. Ethereum contracts can now act on Stellar data trustlessly 🤝
