#HackMeridian2026 is underway in Lisbon - two days of developers, founders and designers building on @StellarOrg, right before Meridian opens.
It kicked off yesterday. Today is day two, and what started as ideas on the first morning is turning into working products.

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. 🙌

@efdevcon is coming to India, and Rise In is joining the journey as a Community Partner! ✨
For India’s @ethereum ecosystem, this is a BIG moment. The global community is coming to Mumbai, bringing together builders, researchers, founders, and the people shaping what comes next.
We’re excited to help connect our community with the wider Devcon ecosystem and make this moment count for builders across India.
Mumbai, we’re ready. See you at @EFDevcon 8! 🇮🇳

Going forward, our focus as Rise In is helping our ecosystem projects reach more users making bigger onchain impact.
The best examples are on @StellarOrg.
More projects, more real world impact will follow!
The best projects @BuildOnStellar, and @Gaian_hq is proof of it:
- Live in 6 countries, including Vietnam and the Philippines
- $200K+ processed with zero marketing
- One API for wallets, remittance apps, exchanges, and fintechs
Gaian turns stablecoins into local money. Users scan any local QR and pay in USDC; the merchant is paid out in local currency through local banks, settled on Stellar in under 2 seconds.
At Rise In, our work with ecosystems doesn't end at the numbers or the grant. We keep following teams as they ship, enter new markets, and grow.
Every week, our Project Spotlight will feature builders from a different country, and Gaian, one of the key projects in the @StellarOrg ecosystem, is the first.

Believe in your own social capital enough that you don’t have to chase what’s cool.
Everything you do is cool because you did it.
Gm!!
the crypto industry is at a very different stage now than it was a few years ago.
we’re past the phase where simply getting developers to explore web3 was the goal. teams have learned a lot, ecosystems have matured and there’s a much clearer sense of what works and what doesn’t.

Here’s what Stellar Journey to Mastery actually looked like from the inside, month by month.
the boring routine you keep wanting to escape might be the exact thing your mind and body need.
sleep well
eat well
move your body
repeat.
not every day needs to be exciting. sometimes, consistency is the glowup!
who’s building the interesting stuff in India right now?
especially founders using blockchain in ways that actually make sense - new products, onchain use cases, Web3 adoption, whatever’s next.
if that’s you, or someone i should know, send them my way.
told you we were cooking!!

What if shipping your AI agent takes you to Devcon?
Buckle up, builders. The top 5 Agentmaxxing builders will get a ticket to Devcon 8 India, happening November 3–6 in Mumbai. 💜
@EFDevcon brings together builders, researchers, open-source contributors, and communities from across the Ethereum ecosystem for four days of technical sessions, workshops, hands-on experiences, and conversations on what’s next - from protocol and security to AI, privacy, and open source.
Four days of curated talks, workshops, experiences, coworking, art, and everything in between. 🫡
So yeah… you might want to build & ship!

Builders need the right rooms. Enterprises need to see what's actually being built. Lounge Day brought the two together. 👇
On 20 September at Grand Pera, 14 organizations from Türkiye's finance, technology, and digital asset ecosystem came together to meet the teams building on @StellarOrg.
The room included İş Bankası, İş Dijital Varlık Teknolojileri, TEB, ING Hubs Türkiye, Midas, node101, Polygon, Project Eleven, Mindstone Blockchain Labs, SpendX, AVBA Legal, Corvyn, The Project Scout, and Altcointürk: institutions, investors, infrastructure teams, legal experts, and ecosystem builders.
Five Scale Track finalists pitched their projects live, sharing what they've built, the problems they're solving, and where they're heading next.
At the hackathon, 85 projects were shipped, with 72 building directly on a Stellar anchor to move real value between TRY and USDC, from escrow and creator payouts to treasuries with enforced spending limits.
The goal was simple: put builders in the same room as the people who understand the problems, the opportunities, and the paths to scale.
Watch the recap to see what that looked like. We're already working on the next one.
