The Foundation
The Stellar Development Foundation, or SDF for short, is a nonprofit organization created and structured to achieve a mission: creating equitable access to the global financial system through blockchain technology. We believe that some of today’s financial systems aren’t designed for everyone and that by leveraging networks like Stellar, we can do our part to change that.
Our Mission
The way the global financial system is structured today, the deck can be stacked against people based on the circumstances into which they were born. The Stellar network offers a way to create a more accessible system that lets people participate in a worldwide, stable, financial network regardless of where they live.
Ecosystem Support
SDF is committed to the growth and development of the network, dedicating its time and resources to help unlock the potential of builders and entrepreneurs worldwide who are solving the financial access problem for their communities. As a nonprofit, we are focused on achieving our mission. This means we do what’s good for the health of the network and our mission for financial access. This means we do what’s right for the builders, changemakers, and problem solvers that will get us there.
Track Our Progress
SDF shares openly how we’re working to make the network a success by providing strategic direction of the network in collaboration with ecosystem participants, providing funding for network builders, and fostering partnerships and dialogue with public and private stakeholders that influence the future of the technology. We track our progress in the open.
Our Values
We play to win. That means setting our sights and going for it. Working together to define the goal and driving forward to success.
The world won’t wait for us. We seek urgent, pragmatic solutions to difficult problems. That means working iteratively, learning and reinventing as we go.
We improve by listening and learning. And we speak candidly to offer colleagues the insight and support they deserve.
