Meet Melfred Bernabe, one of our @StellarOrg Journey to Mastery Monthly Builder Program Winners! ๐
Building Bankero taught Melfred that creating real products is about more than writing code. It's about understanding problems, learning from every challenge, and building solutions people can trust.
For him, this recognition validates Bankero's mission of helping unbanked Filipinos build a financial identity through Stellar, and inspires him to keep improving the project beyond the hackathon.
Congratulations, Melfred! We're excited to see where your builder journey takes you next. ๐

Meet Nicole Andrea G. Bolus, one of our @StellarOrg Journey to Mastery Monthly Builder Program Winners! ๐
As a solo builder, Nicole built SariPay, a real-world blockchain solution on Stellar. Through the journey, she strengthened her technical skills, gained confidence as a developer, and discovered a passion for building technology that solves real-world problems.
"Being selected as a Monthly Builder Program Winner validates the hard work I've put into building SariPay independently and motivates me to keep learning and creating solutions that make a real impact."
Congratulations, Nicole! ๐
#BuildOnStellar
The Stellar Ambassador Program is live ๐
A structured path for builders and educators in the Stellar ecosystem: four tiers, each with defined resources and opportunities, with Chapters on the ground across four key regions
HTTP 402 has always been reserved for "Payment Required", but until now, it was rarely used in practice.
With x402 on Stellar, that status code becomes a native payment layer for the web. Applications can request small USDC payments before serving content, APIs, or AI services, with settlement happening on Stellar in just seconds.
A simple standard that could unlock a new era of programmable internet payments.
Stellar just went to university, a first for Vietnam. ๐ป๐ณ
With VKU in Da Nang, @BuildOnStellar is now the first blockchain ecosystem in an accredited Vietnamese university curriculum.
100+ students โ from fundamentals to deploying on Stellar Testnet. https://t.co/oYoQcnwHaV

Meet Renz Jericho Buday, one of our @StellarOrg Journey to Mastery Monthly Builder Challenge winners! ๐
From thinking blockchain development was too difficult to successfully building and completing his own project, Renz's journey is a reminder that every great builder starts somewhere.
His story shows that with persistence, the right guidance, and a willingness to learn, anyone can turn an idea into reality.
Congratulations, Renz! We can't wait to see what you build next. ๐
