Dob validator app: secure validation for physical infrastructure on Stellar

The Dob Validator app is a platform designed for infrastructure operators to validate the details and operational performance of physical, revenue-generating assets like EV chargers, solar panels, and data centers. It’s the foundation of our broader platform for tokenized infrastructure investment and plays a key role in building trust and transparency before enabling ownership or revenue-based flows.

Problems It solves

Infrastructure operators often struggle to access funding due to fragmented or unreliable data practices and a general lack of investor trust. Meanwhile, investors have limited access to transparent and verifiable infrastructure opportunities, which leads to low participation and high perceived risk.

Dob Validator (kickstart scope)

For this Kickstart submission, we are developing the Dob Validator component, focused exclusively on verifying asset data and tracking operational performance on-chain. This is the essential first step in our roadmap, enabling a transparent layer of truth that sets the stage for tokenization and automated payments in future phases. Dob Validator offers a secure, standardized process to validate real infrastructure, leveraging Stellar to ensure immutability and data integrity. Tokenization and revenue distribution flows will be implemented later within the Stellar ecosystem, once the validation layer is operating in production.

Target audience and benefits

  • Infrastructure operators: Gain a verifiable track record for their assets, unlocking access to new funding sources, reducing friction with investors, and streamlining due diligence.
  • Investors: Access reliable, validated information on physical infrastructure projects, with clear technical, financial, and operational signals that build trust and confidence.

How It works (kickstart scope)

  • Asset Registration: Operators submit project details and technical information, operational history, financial projections. All through a structured onboarding form. This data is reviewed through a human-led validation financial and technical framework process.
  • Blockchain Validation: Once approved, the verified metadata is published on-chain using Soroban smart contracts, ensuring transparency, immutability, records on the Stellar network.

Future enhancements (beyond kickstart scope)

  • Tokenization & Fractional Ownership: We’ll integrate Soroban smart contracts to enable fractional ownership of validated infrastructure, based on token models already developed in Solidity.
  • Automated Revenue Distribution: Using those same foundations, we’ll implement Soroban-based payout logic, enabling real-time revenue flows to token holders, managed transparently and securely on-chain.
  • Investor Engagement: Investors can access this information through a clean, read-only frontend (built in React), and securely connect via Stellar wallet to explore verified infrastructure projects.

Technical Integration with Stellar

Dob Validator integrates with the Stellar network using Simple Stellar Signer for secure, user-friendly wallet connection.  On the backend, we use Node.js to manage project submissions and validation workflows, while project and user data are stored in MongoDB. The frontend is built in React.js, providing operators with a clean interface to submit infrastructure data and track status. Once a project is validated, key metadata is published on-chain using Soroban smart contracts, and can be viewed through a WebAssembly verifier, enabling funders to independently verify the asset’s integrity on Stellar.

Success Criteria

For us as a company:

Success starts with doing the basics well: helping real infrastructure operators get verified, published on-chain, and closer to funding. If our early partners choose to come back for a second project, or refer others, that’s already a win. As we grow, we will be looking at how many projects actually move from validation to funding, and how often our on-chain proof becomes useful for investors or institutions. If funders start trusting our validation process the same way they trust credit scores or audits, we know we are onto something. In the long run, it’s about being the go-to entry point for serious infrastructure wanting to raise capital in new ways.

Specifically for this project:

In the Kickstart phase, success means launching the Dob Validator MVP, running initial validations, and building confidence in the core workflow with early operator partners. In Q3, we’ll focus on onboarding partners like eHive, Bas3, and Infinita, validating real infrastructure assets, and preparing them for tokenization. We’re targeting over $1M in validated infrastructure, while beginning our Soroban smart contract migration. In Q4, our goal is to complete the Soroban transition and launch the first public investor dashboard, where verified infrastructure projects can be explored transparently on-chain. We also aim to have our first tokenized project live, with revenue distribution initiated through Soroban-based automation.

Go-To-Market Plan

Go-to-market plan and roadmap

Our immediate focus is to launch the Dob Validator, a tool that helps infrastructure operators validate real world asset data on-chain. This is the foundation of our broader platform for decentralized infrastructure investment. The validator is essential for establishing the credibility and integrity of infrastructure assets before activating tokenization or revenue distribution. We have already built the automation and tokenization logic as Solidity smart contracts and validated the concept technically. The current effort focuses on adapting our architecture to the Stellar ecosystem and building the right interfaces and flows around the validation process.

Roadmap to launch

Phase 1: core MVP (month 1–1.5) We will launch the Dob Validator MVP with a clean interface for infrastructure operators to submit project data and track validation status. Wallet access will be handled through Stellar’s Simple Signer, making the onboarding process secure and seamless. Submissions will go through a human-led risk assessment, evaluating technical and financial readiness. Once approved, essential project metadata will be published on-chain using Soroban smart contracts, making infrastructure performance verifiable and transparent on Stellar.

Phase 2: enhanced functionality and go-to-market (month 2–5) We will onboard our first operator partners, eHive, Bas3, and Infinita, and launch a dashboard so they can monitor validation in real time. At the same time, we will release an investor view to showcase verified projects to potential funders. In parallel, we will begin migrating our existing Solidity based logic to Soroban, aligning the full tokenization and payout flow with Stellar’s infrastructure. Our go-to-market strategy will focus on onboarding new projects through our Infra Readiness Sprint, while using operator feedback to refine the process.

Phase 3: pre-market expansion (month 6+) We will expand to new infrastructure sectors, starting with Mining Infrastructure, and continue scaling tokenization and automation flows on Soroban. This phase includes launching a Stellar-native investor dashboard with real-time project metrics, and building a basic compliance layer with legal wrappers and performance ratings. By the end of this phase, we aim to complete the full cycle, validation, tokenization, and automated revenue flows, all powered by Stellar and visible on-chain.

Go-to-market strategy

Our initial outreach targets physical infrastructure operators who need capital but lack tools to prove operational performance. These include EV charging networks, distributed solar developers, and data center providers. We help them unlock funding by validating and publishing performance data on-chain. As part of the Kickstart program, we introduced a free Infra Readiness Sprint to assess a project’s eligibility for funding.  Starting in month 2, we will expand the program and activate our full outreach strategy:

Acquisition channels

We are reaching out directly to infrastructure operators through strategic DMs on Telegram, X, and LinkedIn, focusing on projects already working and looking for funding. We are also running targeted email campaigns through our lists. We host monthly onboarding calls and live Q&A sessions on X. We are also building in-person relationships at events and partner activations to connect with the regional infrastructure and Web3 community (Stellar After Dark (Denver), Stellar in Fintech (Santiago), Web Summit Stellar event (Rio), Fintech Forum 13-14 may (Santiago))

Traction Goals

While we are still pre-launch and our near-term targets are:

  • 6 Infra Readiness Sprints booked weekly
  • 2 leads/week requesting paid validation or tokenization offers
  • 2 confirmed conversion/month into our full protocol

Budget breakdown, if we win SCF Award ($15000)

1. Product development – $10700 This is our top priority. Funds will go toward expanding development capacity to complete the MVP and publish validated infrastructure data on Stellar. Specifically, we will focus on:

  • Finalizing the UI for operator submission and validator review
  • Integrating wallet access using Stellar’s Simple Signer
  • Building backend workflows to support human-led validation
  • Publishing verified project metadata on-chain via Soroban smart contracts

2. Infrastructure and operations – $800 Covers backend/API hosting, MongoDB, wallet interaction monitoring, and secure file storage for operator documentation.

3. Go-to-market and onboarding – $3500 This will support targeted outreach, onboarding, and communication with infrastructure operators:

  • Direct outreach via Telegram, X, LinkedIn, and email
  • CRM setup and lead tracking
  • Execution of free Infra Readiness Sprints to assess operator readiness
  • Onboarding calls and follow-up support This helps us move real projects into the validator and start building early traction on Stellar.

Sustainability plan

Our revenue model is based on paid validation and tokenization packages, starting at $7K per project. We also charge a 1.5% fee on capital raised and a 0.5% fee on automated revenue flows. Every project begins with a free Infra Readiness Sprint, which helps us qualify operators and ensure they are ready before entering the system. Beyond the SCF grant, we’re preparing to scale through DePIN and climate-aligned grants, strategic partnerships, and a pre-seed raise. Our strategy is clear: validate first, tokenize second, then scale—creating a high-trust entry point into decentralized infrastructure investment.
