This week in Velo 🛠️
We’ve been improving wallet authentication, project collaboration, checkout routing, and the reliability of our Stellar infrastructure.
Here’s what changed across Velo 👇
Velo Console
🔐 Wallet sign-in now verifies ownership through a SEP-10-style signed challenge, without network fees.
👥 Project owners can grant editor or viewer access to Stellar addresses making team collaboration enabled inside Velo. We’ve also added clearer guidance for authentication errors.
Velo Pay & Settle
💳 Velo Pay now uses in-house Stellar checkout routing following the retirement of the PDAX integration.
🏦 A new Philippine payment provider integration is underway. Settlement is currently unavailable, while historical records remain accessible.
Gas Station & Developer Tools
⛽ Our landing page now highlights Gas Station fee sponsorship on Stellar Testnet, with an SDK example.
⚙️ SDK retries now respect the remaining request deadline, making timeout behavior more predictable.
Backend & Experience
📡 Contract event polling now detects ledger history gaps and resumes within the available history window.
🛠️ Payments and settlement pages gained maintenance controls. We also refreshed landing page navigation and highlighted our SDF Instawards recognition.
More features are coming. Stay Tuned!

Big week for Velo!
We’re making it easier for Stellar apps to cover user fees. Teams can set spending rules and track activity in one simple dashboard.
Testnet build complete. Live validation next!

Velo’s Instawards Week 2 is taking shape 🚀
We’ve built the Testnet foundation for sponsored (“gasless”) Stellar transactions—covering execution, retries, recovery, accounting, and safe replay.
@PHI_Stellar @BuildOnStellar @riseinweb3
We’re getting ready to open something up for Stellar builders.
Any guesses? 👀

Velo’s Instawards journey is moving forward
Deliverable 1 is complete: Testnet Gas Policy Engine
It lays the foundation for projects to cover user fees safely, reducing onboarding friction while protecting fee budgets with clear rules
