What if building on Stellar got easier than ever before? At Meridian 2026 in Lisbon, we asked Tomer Weller (@tomerweller), Chief Product Officer at SDF, the question every new builder has: Where do I start? His answer: Raven. → Go to raven.stellar.org/ → Point your AI agent at it → Let it show you everything about the Stellar network and how to integrate with it Raven gives your agent Stellar’s docs and ecosystem context in one connection. From there, in Tomer’s words, you can build DeFi, compose with existing protocols, use on- and off-ramps, and “build equitable access to the world’s financial system.” At Rise In, we help builders take their first step on Stellar, and Raven makes that step shorter than ever. 🎥 Full interview below Proud to help grow the Stellar ecosystem with @StellarOrg & @BuildOnStellar 💛

Pretty special moment at #Meridian2026 🥹 @denelledixon, CEO & Executive Director of the Stellar Development Foundation, mentioned Rise In on the main stage, and our video played in front of the whole Stellar community. Thank you @StellarOrg & the SDF team. Proud to help builders take their first step on Stellar 💜

One question we need to ask @DenelleDixon but in our way 💛 @BuildOnStellar @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 that actually ship is exactly what we set out to do. Thank you, Stellar. We're so excited for what's coming in 2027. 🚀 @BuildOnStellar @PHI_Stellar @Stellar_Turkey @Indo_Stellar @IND_stellar @VN_Stellar

The baddest builders ain’t in SF. 🌍 We asked builders at #HackMeridian2026 one simple question: “Where are you from?” Norway, Brazil, France, Venezuela, Bolivia, and many more answered. From Türkiye to Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and India, @BuildOnStellar developers are everywhere. ⭐ @VN_Stellar @Stellar_Turkey @IND_stellar @Indo_Stellar @PHI_Stellar @BuildOnStellar @Stellar_Brazil @StarMaker_LATAM

One Stellar, one global community! 💛 Amazing to bring all @BuildOnStellar chapters together at #Meridian2026! Huge thanks to the entire @StellarOrg team and Danielle for making it happen 💙 🇻🇳 @VN_Stellar 🇵🇭 @PHI_Stellar 🇹🇷 @Stellar_Turkey 🇧🇷 @Stellar_Brazil 🌎 @StarMaker_LATAM 🇮🇳 @IND_stellar 🇮🇩 @Indo_Stellar

We made it to #HackMeridian2026! 🚀 Our Country Leads from Türkiye 🇹🇷, Vietnam 🇻🇳 and the Philippines 🇵🇭 are here in Lisbon with us, and 6 of our ambassadors from Türkiye came along too. These are the first few moments, filmed on the ground. 🎥 @Stellar_Turkey @VN_Stellar @PHI_Stellar Our India 🇮🇳 and Indonesia 🇮🇩 leads couldn’t make it. Turns out building on Stellar is fast, getting a visa appointment is not 🐌 Big thanks to @StellarOrg and @BuildOnStellar. 🙌 @OpenZeppelin @trustlesswork @itsgrantfox @dripsnetwork @defindex_ @57blocks @XoxnoNetwork @bastiankoh

What happens when you put Türkiye's best web3 builders in one room? 🇹🇷 From @StellarOrg Residency to the Pro Hackathon, we brought developers, ecosystem leaders, industry professionals, and the Stellar team together to exchange ideas, build connections, and move projects forward. A huge thank you to all our participants for the time, effort, and energy they brought throughout the journey. And a special thank you to everyone who joined us for Lounge Day and contributed to the conversations around Türkiye’s growing web3 ecosystem. More to come soon, including highlights from the Pro Hackathon’s winning projects and more from Lounge Day. 👀 Keep an eye on @riseinweb3 and @Stellar_Turkey accounts this week. 🇹🇷⚡️

A closer look at @StellarOrg Residency. 👀 @BuildOnStellar @Stellar_Turkey

We've got great news: @StellarOrg is coming to Türkiye for the third time, and this one is bigger than everything before. Pro Hackathon is on the stage! 🎟️ 📍 Grand Pera, İstiklal, Beyoğlu 📅 Sep 19 to 20, 2026 💰 $15,000 prize pool Bring an idea. Bring a team. Bring the product you're ready to level up: risein.com/programs/stellar-… @BuildOnStellar @Stellar_Turkey

.@StellarOrg just put $65,000 behind builders who came up through @riseinweb3! 13 projects, each backed with $5K through the Stellar Instawards program. Here's what they're building 👇 1/ StellarShade, Ahmet Baran Aktan 🇹🇷 Privacy infrastructure for stealth payments on Stellar. Using cryptographic stealth addresses and Soroban contracts, you can receive payments without exposing your balance or transaction history. The grant funds a TypeScript SDK, a Soroban testnet contract, and a full end-to-end prototype, opening up private flows for payroll, donations, freelance work, and merchants. 🔗 github.com/baranaktan 2/ Vestellar, @melkecelioglu 🇹🇷 A payment streaming and vesting protocol on Stellar. Traditional vesting locks funds for months while they sit idle. Vestellar combines programmable, time-based stablecoin streams with a treasury-oriented design, so DAOs, startups, and treasuries can handle payroll, contributor pay, grants, and long-term token distribution far more efficiently. 🔗 github.com/melkecelioglu 3/ Constella, Berkay Gündüz 🇹🇷 Compliance infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets on Stellar. Today every issuer rebuilds KYC, jurisdiction limits, sanctions screening, and transfer lockups from scratch. Constella delivers an open-source compliance module library for Soroban, with standardized modules, docs, and testnet deployments, so compliant RWA issuance becomes plug-and-play. 🔗 github.com/berkay1532/conste… 4/ Sembol, @keyyyy01 🇹🇷 An open-source React component library for passkey-powered wallets on Stellar. Stellar already has the passkey infrastructure, but teams still build auth flows, signing screens, and WebAuthn integrations by hand. Sembol ships ready-made components, hooks, Storybook docs, and a reference app for wallet creation, signing, and account management. 🔗 github.com/keyboord01 5/ Troia, @0xmetee 🇹🇷 Cross-border payments connecting Türkiye's Troy card network with Stellar. Troy cardholders hit walls on international online purchases. Troia lets people use local payment methods while reaching global commerce through Stellar settlement, with Soroban contracts, oracle-based exchange rates, and a merchant checkout flow on testnet. 🔗 github.com/tamerrarda/Troyia 6/ Bound, @iamnotdou 🇹🇷 A trust and insurance protocol for autonomous AI agents on Stellar. As agents start transacting with each other, an overpayment or a bad actor can cause irreversible losses. Bound introduces a collateral-backed guarantee system where agents prove they're trustworthy through on-chain reserves, auditor oversight, and cryptographically verifiable insurance coverage. 🔗 github.com/iamnotdou 7/ ORBIT, @buildonorbit 🇮🇩 Orbit Protocol, backed through the Stellar Instawards program is building out its protocol on Stellar. 🔗 orbitprotocol.dev 8/ Niet, @atahanyild 🇹🇷 A cross-chain intent settlement protocol between Stellar and other ecosystems. Bridges can move USDC onto Stellar, but users and AI agents still have to finish the job by hand, like depositing into DeFi or reacting to the market. Niet automates that final step, cutting friction and execution risk out of complex financial workflows. 🔗 github.com/atahanyild 9/ TrustRFQ, @acakbin_xlm 🇹🇷 A request-for-quote trading protocol bringing institutional-grade execution to Stellar. Large trades eat heavy slippage on AMMs once on-chain liquidity runs thin, pushing institutions toward centralized desks. TrustRFQ gives market makers and big traders a way to execute high volume on Stellar without that price impact. 🔗 github.com/acakbin1881 10/ Cogladius, @furkanyesildag 🇹🇷 A decentralized AI agent marketplace where autonomous agents compete for tasks, get evaluated automatically, and receive payment without a centralized platform in the middle. It runs on-chain task escrows and multi-agent judging, plus a dispute system called Agent Court where AI litigators and judges settle conflicts in the open. 🔗 github.com/furkanyesildag 11/ Stellar Agent MCP, Berkin Gurcan (@trionlabs) 🇹🇷 A discovery and interoperability layer that connects AI agents on the Stellar 8004 protocol with modern AI development environments. Stellar 8004 already handles on-chain identity, reputation, and validation for agents, but there was no standard way to discover and interact with them programmatically. Stellar Agent MCP closes that gap. 🔗 github.com/trionlabs/stellar… 12/ Stellar Ramp, @Tiffany_herefen 🇻🇳 A fiat on-and-off ramp for Vietnam built on Stellar. It converts VND and USDC and is connected to strong licensed local partners in Vietnam, helping users move between cash and crypto. 🔗 github.com/DucLoc1999/stella… 13/ Cyphras, @cyphraswallet 🇮🇩 A Stellar wallet that funded its first MVP through the Instawards program. 🔗 cyphras.com 13 builders, one ecosystem, $65K in @BuildOnStellar funding, and we're just getting started! Show us your proof of work, build it on Stellar, and let's bring your project on-chain together. Your turn 👉 risein.com/stellar-ambassado…
