Trust!
Around here, "on Stellar" means something.
Trust isn't a feature you can ship. It's earned over time by the people who rely on you.

From #19 to #2. ⚡️
At the start of 2026, Stellar had one goal: grow its monthly active developer ecosystem.
We started with ~900 developers and aimed for 2,000.
We crossed that goal in just 4 months.
By July, Stellar had grown to 3,600+ monthly active developers a 253%
While the broader crypto developer ecosystem declined, Stellar kept building and climbing. 📈
This growth is powered by the builders, communities, and ecosystem contributors who continue to show up and build on Stellar. 💫
The journey is just getting started. 🇮🇳

Most of these ambassadors spend the year running events on their own, in their own cities. Getting 20+ of them into one house in Mumbai doesn’t happen often.
Good night it was!
Good night it was!
Stellar House Mumbai was one of our favorite nights at India Blockchain Week. 🔥
We had 20+ Stellar ambassadors in one house, with great music and conversations that went on until the very end.
Thank you @IND_stellar and @StellarOrg for hosting it with us! 🏠

An Indian team, funded by SCF, at Meridian in Lisbon.
Rohan Sethi is co-founder and CEO of @SwiftEx_Wallet, a non-custodial Stellar wallet across iOS, Android and web, with multi-chain bridging. Over 1,000 people are using it, and the team is two SCF rounds in.
From an SCF ed product, to a room in Meridian. That route is open to any team building here.
A few minutes on what they’re building and why @StellarOrg.

At #Meridian2026, Justin Rice (@jricetweets) from @StellarOrg took the stage and gave Rise In a shoutout for helping grow Stellar's builder community across Asia and Turkey.
Being recognized by an ecosystem partner on the main stage means a lot. Building developer communities xactly what we set out to do.
Thank you, Stellar. We're so excited for what's coming in 2027. 🚀

“Rise In is such an amazing organization. You all have roots all over the world.”
That’s how Gemma Dobbs (@gwd2000), Ecosystem Program Lead at SDF, answered when our @VN_Stellar Chapter Lead @Tiffany_herefen asked where builders should start on @StellarOrg.
Her answer: get to web3 chapter, learn the tech stack, and find an unsolved problem in your market.
At #HackMeridian2026 in Lisbon, Gemma also shared what the Stellar Community Fund has achieved this year:
→ 7 rounds of the Build Award program in 2026
→ Almost 200 projects awarded
→ 137 teams live on mainnet
And what makes a team stand out: knowing exactly what problem you’re solving, why you’re the right people to solve it, and why your solution is the best.
That’s the path we help builders walk: from their first hackathon, to shipping a real product, to being ready for SCF. “We’re so lucky to have you all leading this program and supporting these builders,” Gemma said. The feeling is mutual.
