MoneyGram launched MGUSD, a native U.S. dollar stablecoin on Stellar, on June 2, putting Stellar at the center of payment flows for 60 million active customers at 500,000+ retail locations. The SDF published the Protocol 27 "Zipper" upgrade guide, setting a July 8 mainnet vote with SDK releases starting June 5. The Stellar Development Foundation also joined the United Nations Development Programme's new 26-member Blockchain Advisory Group focused on financial inclusion.

Sharing a Stellar hackathon kicking off this week in case anyone here is looking for a build challenge.

Boundless is teaming up with Trustless Work for a 4-day hybrid hackathon. Three days virtual (May 13 to 15) with kickoff, workshops, and office hours, then an in-person Demo Day on May 16 at The Block Hive in Nsukka, Nigeria. Open to teams and individuals worldwide. Physical demo day is optional.

The premise: ship a product using Trustless Work primitives, which are non-custodial, milestone-based escrows for stablecoins. Funds only move when predefined conditions are m

Just finished setting up the 2025 G14 (Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 + RTX 5060) on Ubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon" and wrote down everything that worked.
Sharing in case it saves anyone the rabbit hole I just climbed out of.

The Stellar Community Fund (SCF) Growth Hack is in its final hours. With the acquisition phase closing on February 1st, two projects Rozo and Defindex  are demonstrating how the ecosystem is moving past technical hurdles toward mainstream adoption.

In a recent Twitter Space hosted by LumenLoop, founders Sean (Rozo) and Francisco (Defindex) shared insights on what it actually takes to onboard the next wave of users.

Rozo’s mission is simple: eliminate the friction of fragmented blockchains. Sean, a YC '21 alum and tech founder, compares the current crypto landscape to traditiona

The Stellar Community Fund (SCF) Growth Hack is currently in full swing! This competition-style program is designed to support companies already live on the Stellar mainnet, helping them accelerate their go-to-market strategies and find "product-market fit" through funded user acquisition campaigns.

For you, this is an opportunity to try out Stellar projects and be rewarded for doing so. From prize pools and weekly raffles to direct cashback, these projects are incentivizing early adopters.

Here is exactly how to participate in the active promos today.

Help build the future of smarter AI by joining the xbid.ai Lab on Stellar!
Most AI today just "guesses" what you want, but the Lab is a gamified platform where you can teach AI to actually reason through natural conversation.
By participating in these short dialogues, you help create a "reasoning substrate" that makes AI smarter and more grounded in real-world logic.
It’s easy to join, you get rewarded on Stellar for your genuine engagement, and your contributions help build an open-source dataset for the entire world to use.

I’ve been using blend.capital for over a year now. Most of my stack is in the fixed pool backstops (higher risk), where I’m seeing those 70-80% APR.

If you don't want that level of exposure, standard USDC lending is sitting around 17% APY right now. You can take these at at any second

Pro-tip**:** Use Smoothie.capital for the UI; it’s way better for tracking portfolio performance.

Hey everyone,

I've been working with some young students learning to code through MakeCode Arcade and noticed they often get stuck on bugs or don't know what blocks to use next. Figured I'd throw together a Chrome extension that adds an AI assistant right in the editor.

--> https://github.com/rawritude/arcade-makecode-ai

What it does:

• Opens a chat panel in MakeCode Arcade
• Automatically grabs your project code
• Detects if you're using blocks or JavaScript
• Has a complexity slider so it can explain things simply for younger kids or be more technical for experienced users
• Uses Gemini API for the AI stuff

The blocks detection w

Noticed there's been a couple of users sharing setups of remotely accessing antigravity.

I wanted to address the following problems:

- safe environment for development

- access from any device, with good resolution adaptability

- Access to relevant hardware resources

- No fiddling with setup

 So I put together a Docker container for running Google Antigravity remotely. It's built on a lightweight XFCE desktop that you can access right from your browser (noVNC) or any standard VNC client.

Key features:

• Full NVIDIA GPU passthrough support
• Pre-installed Ch

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Mongo TV.

It’s basically a real-time web interface that listens to a MongoDB Replica Set (via Change Streams) and broadcasts all the inserts, updates, and deletes to a fun interface.

Features

• Real-time: Uses WebSockets to stream changes instantly.
• Data View: Syntax-highlighted YAML or JSON for easy reading.
• Responsive: Works on mobile!
• Controls: You can filter collections, pause the stream, and even toggle "Grid Mode" for a different layout.

Hey everyone,

The team behind Stellar HACKS is back with our third mini-hackathon, and this one is all about building on top of live, established projects. If you're a dev looking to build on a fast, low-cost L1, this is for you.

TL;DR: We're hosting a 2-week virtual hackathon on Stellar. Build on one or both of the featured projects and compete for a $12,000 prize pool in XLM, with 10 winning spots.

The Challenge: Compose the Future on Stellar

Instead of building from scratch, your mission is to use existing projects as building blocks. This round features two very different, very cool projects:
