Award Process
Once you have a plan for your Stellar and/or Soroban project, create a submission for an SCF Activation Award (up to $50K worth of XLM*) to prove your intent. After you’ve finished your deliverables of the Activation Award, you can submit your project to receive a larger Community Award (up to $100K worth of XLM*). Submission deadlines are every four weeks.
