🌱 | New to SCF?
The Stellar Community Fund leverages community input to fund and support Web3 teams building on Stellar. SCF consists of three tracks—Kickstart, Build, and Grow—each containing community-driven programs that fund and foster your project from ideation to launch and growth.
📣 | First Steps
All projects new to the Stellar Community Fund start by submitting a project to an open round accessible by registering on the SCF Dashboard. A panel reviews all ideas for potential ecosystem value, project eligibility, and team capability. After the eligibility review, you may be invited to submit for either the SCF Kickstart or SCF Build programs. Learn more about both of those below.
SCF Kickstart — jumpstart your Web3 idea into a robust Proof of Concept with a 5-day virtual design sprint, complete with dedicated mentorship by experts, as well as the chance to receive a SCF Kickstart Award of up to US$15,000 in XLM* to further validate your project.
SCF Build — accelerate development for your validated Stellar project with a SCF Build Award of up to US$150,000 in XLM* allocated with input from the community.
Community Involvement — the Stellar community is heavily involved in all that SCF undertakes, including voting for award allocation, supporting projects, and participating in governance.

*To determine the number of XLM equal to the USD value of any Award, the USD valuation of XLM shall be calculated using the CF Stellar Lumens-Dollar Settlement Price as administered, maintained, and reported by the cryptocurrency index provider CF Benchmarks Ltd. (using the ticker “XLMUSD_RR”) (available at https://www.cfbenchmarks.com/indices/XLMUSD_RR), or, if such settlement price is unavailable or reasonably suspected by SDF to be unreliable, the settlement price as reported on a substantially similar and equally reputable cryptocurrency index provider as determined by the SDF in its discretion. The USD valuation of XLM for any particular Award shall be calculated using the CF Stellar Lumens-Dollar Settlement Price (or other agreed upon settlement price) reported on the day such Award is scheduled to be paid. The Participants acknowledge and understand that XLM is a highly risky and volatile asset, and that SDF does not provide any representations, warranties, or guarantees of its value.
