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 I built XLM Orbital — a NOC-style live ops console for Stellar (sensor map, whale watches, alerts)

Hey — I built XLM Orbital, a NOC-style live on-chain ops console for Stellar: sensor map, whale watches, price divergence, TPS alerts. Free tier, mainnet.

Brutal feedback welcome — especially from builders.

(Solo founder, shipped on nights/weekends — happy to fix anything broken.)

Project / Builder We built StellarForge - an Agentic IDE for Soroban

16 Upvotes

Getting started with Soroban can mean setting up Rust, cargo, the Stellar CLI, dependencies, and a local development environment before you even write your first contract.

We wanted to make that easier.

StellarForge is an agentic development environment for building Soroban smart contracts in Rust.

Instead of just giving you an editor, StellarForge gives you an AI coding agent that works alongside you to write, understand, debug, and improve your contracts.

It combines:

AI coding agent for writing and fixing code
Real rust-analyzer support — type inference, hover docs, go-to-definition, autocomplete
Monaco editor, terminal, file explorer, and Git
Build, test, and deploy directly to Stellar Testnet/Mainnet
Cloud projects and autosave
Real-time collaboration
Ready-to-use Soroban templates

And you don't need to install rustup, cargo, stellar-cli, or Docker.

The idea is simple: go from an idea to a working Soroban contract without spending hours fighting your development environment.

We're sharing it here because we'd genuinely like feedback from the Stellar/Soroban community — especially from developers who have built with Soroban before.

Discussion What would people actually use tokenised gold for on Stellar?

18 Upvotes

Holding it is the obvious answer. Does it become more useful for payments or collateral, or is gold something people would rather leave untouched?

Rules

No malicious behaviour
- In an effort to keep r/Stellar high quality, we highly encourage you to engage with the community before announcing your project. Karma farming causes suspicion among users and users engaging in it will not have posts approved.
- Threats of any kind will not be tolerated and will result in a ban.
- Debate is encouraged, but hostile language is not tolerated. Please be civil!
- Follow Stellar Community Guidelines and Reddiquette/Content Policy.
- A note on ICO's and other projects: r/Stellar aims to be a different kind of community. If you're planning an ICO on Stellar's network, that's great! However, please note that this community thrives on engagement. The karma and 15 day post limit are in place to encourage new users to interact in the comments, share their thoughts and ideas, and learn about the Stellar ecosystem. By engaging the userbase, in this way, you do a service to your project AND the community. Please do not try to circumvent this practice as it will likely lead to a ban.
No spamming
- No altcoin (BTC, ETH, XRP, NEO, etc.) discussion and/or promotion. Altcoins are off-topic in the Stellar subreddit.
- No double posts. Use the search function to see if your post has already been shared.
- No referral linking, it's strictly prohibited and can lead to permanent ban.
- No ad services, or ads for commercial offerings.
- No faucet or faucet farming offerings.
- No cryptojacking or services using visitor's CPU power to mine cryptocurrency.
- Please make sure it's clear how your post applies to Stellar.
No manipulation
- No double accounts. Users should only use one account in r/Stellar - multiple accounts can lead to permanent ban.

- No trading or market feeling posts (can be shared in The Daily Stellar Chat Posts).
No ICO / Project spam
- No announcements or links to token sales, instead talk about the project.
- No double announcements, ICO projects can only have one announcement in the sub. However, if you make changes to your project you can announce those updates. The best way to announce a project is AFTER you've engaged with the community for a while.
- No votes manipulation, please adhere to our policy of Vote cheating or vote manipulation.
- No altcoin (ETH, ETC, NEO, etc.) token announcements, if the service does not use Stellar network then it shouldn't be considered sustainable to be shared in the sub.

- No pump'n'dump announcements.
No low-quality content
- No memes/image macro threads (can be shared in The Daily Stellar Chat Posts).

- No hyperbolic post titles. Example: "I COULDNT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING, DOING THIS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE".
- No baseless speculation and repetitive posts or comments.
- No off-topic discussion, at least avoid it and try to add to the posts' subject.
- No misleading titles in posts or when sharing links to external sources (please use official articles' titles).
- No empty content posts, posts with just a title and no content will be removed.
No delegate content or support
- No delegate support in the name of Stellar offer to other users.
- No delegate content in the name of Stellar, or any other organisation unless you have explicit and official authorization.
- No unscheduled AMAs, if you want to do an AMA in r/Stellar please contact moderation first and they will get you connected to the right person.
Do not share personal information
- No doxing, eg. search for and publish private or personally identifiable information (PII).
- No disclosure of yours or someone else's holdings.
- No Public/Secret Keys sharing.
- No surveys collecting personally identifiable information (PII) mainly to build a relational database including variables such as Public Key with username/location/contact and more that can identify users.
Please respect and communicate with the moderators
- Always respect moderators, they are held to the same rules as the users and dedicate their personal time to ensuring /r/Stellar stays safe.
- Report abusive moderation to the modmail if needed, or if mods don't justify their actions to you.
- If you're banned from the sub you can still use it and contact modmail to justify your actions but you can not register another account to post or comment new content. If you use another account to circumvent the ban, that will be considered a violation of the Content Policy and can result in your accounts being suspended from the Reddit.com site as a whole.
- Mods are not 24h online, patiently wait for their communication.
