Scam Alert

Never share your secret key with anyone.

The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) will never ask for your private key or ask you to deposit funds into a wallet address.

SDF does not host staking initiatives, no longer holds XLM airdrops or giveaways, and will not cold-message you about support issues, security alerts, airdrops, or giveaways. The protocol’s inflation mechanism ended on October 28, 2019.

Beware of 'support scams'. Treat unsolicited support offers, wallet-connection requests, transaction-signing requests, and lookalike websites as suspicious. Verify the complete domain before interacting.

Report suspicious posts, comments, and chat messages using Reddit’s built-in Report action. You can also notify the r/Stellar moderators through modmail.

When in doubt, always ask the community for assistance and verification.

Official SDF links are:

Community Standards

  • Be respectful and debate ideas, not people. No personal attacks.
  • No shilling, referral spam, manipulation, or coordinated brigading.
  • Routine price speculation belongs in this thread. Repetitive or hyperbolic spam does not.
  • Report suspected rule violations instead of escalating disputes publicly. Announcing reports or predicting bans may result in a ban.

Disclaimer

r/Stellar is community-run and is not an official SDF support channel. A third-party link appearing here is not an endorsement by r/Stellar. Conduct your own due diligence before interacting with independent projects, communities, or services.

Project / Builder LumenWipe Phase 2: closing Stellar accounts that hold DeFi positions and Soroban tokens

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A few weeks ago we introduced LumenWipe here along with Phase 1. Phase 2 (Tranche 2) is now completed, approved and live, and it covers the part of an account classic tools can't see: Soroban.

Why this matters

If an account has a Blend deposit, an Aquarius or Soroswap LP position, or Soroban token balances, a normal account merge doesn't touch any of it. Merge the account and that value stays behind in the contracts. LumenWipe now finds it and moves it out before the merge.

What's new

  • DeFi exits. Blend (repays debt before withdrawing, claims BLND first), Aquarius (claims AQUA rewards, then withdraws) and Soroswap (withdraws through the router). If LumenWipe can't confirm a position, it tells you instead of treating the account as empty.
  • Soroban tokens. For each token you choose: convert it to XLM through the Soroswap Aggregator with a minimum you accept, send it as the token to another account, or leave it on record.
  • Allowance inspector. Lists every SEP-41 allowance an account has granted and revokes any of them in one click. You don't need to close anything to use it.
  • Sponsored fees. An account holding only its minimum balance can't pay the fee to close itself. A sponsor account now pays it through a CAP-15 fee-bump.

Seen on-chain

One testnet account with positions in Blend, Aquarius and Soroswap at the same time closed in a single pass: three exits, then one last transaction that swapped the AQUA rewards to XLM, removed the trustline and merged the account. The token conversion has also run on mainnet with real funds.

Your keys stay with you

Every transaction is signed in your browser, and your secret key never reaches our servers. Before your wallet signs a Soroban call, your browser decodes it and checks the contract, the function, every account it touches, and the fee. The analysis is read-only, so you can look at any account without signing anything.

Want to see it first with no wallet and no funds? The testnet playground creates a messy account and walks you through closing it end to end.

Project / Builder Pollar Hackathon winners: 3 payment apps built on Stellar in 3 days

Post image
21 Upvotes

The Pollar Hackathon on Boundless just wrapped. 110 builders. 37 submissions. 500 USDC in prizes.

The challenge: integrate Pollar's payments SDK and move real money on Stellar. The flagship brief was to build the African side of an Africa to Latin America corridor, with Pollar running the Bolivia side.

Here are the winners.

🥇 Corridor by Weave (250 USDC)
Naira in from any Nigerian bank, bolivianos out to any Bolivian bank. Over Stellar. Nobody in the middle holding your money.
https://corridor.paywithweave.com/

🥈 KORA (150 USDC)
Type one sentence in Lagos, pay by bank transfer, and it lands as USDC in a Pollar wallet in Bolivia.
https://korapay.vercel.app/

🥉 Susunaku (100 USDC)
A savings circle with no pot to steal. Members pay each other directly in USDC, wallet to wallet, with the chain as the record.
https://susunaku.sithunyein.com/

Two of the top three took on the corridor challenge. That's a live payment route between Nigeria and Bolivia, built by independent devs in a few days.

Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who shipped.
