We encouraged ourselves to fully integrate Stellar into the Elixir ecosystem.
Elixir is a dynamic, functional language that leverages the Erlang VM for building low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. Elixir is successfully used in web development and embedded software.
Our proposal is 100% open-source and it is composed of 3 libraries:
1. Elixir XDR: a low-level library to encode/decode XDR data (RFC4506).
2. Stellar Base: a library that provides a complete set of functions to read, write, hash, and sign primitive XDR constructs used in the Stellar network. This library acts as an abstraction layer allowing software and IoT developers to build their own SDKs.
3. Stellar SDK: a top-level library for building and submitting transactions to Horizon.
The mission behind this initiative is to promote Stellar innovation and increase network participation by enabling elixir developers to thrive in the Stellar community.

kommit is a Latin American tech talent and innovation incubator. Our mission is to find the best talent in its earliest stages and invest in them so they can work with international teams.
No funds have been raised before.
XDR
Stable version. 100% of test coverage and docs are up-to-date.
Stellar Base
Beta version. 100% of test coverage and docs are up-to-date.
Protocol 19 work is planned here: https://github.com/kommitters/stellar_base/issues
StellarSDK
The library is in the development stage.
Pending work including Protocol 19 support is planned here: https://github.com/kommitters/stellar_sdk/issues
We have established 2 clear goals for the next 6 months:
While running innovation processes at kommit.
We could not find a library or an SDK that allowed us to interact with Stellar in Elixir. Libraries that were found were outdated and incomplete.
We propose then, 3 open-source libraries at different protocol levels to allow elixir developers to interact with the Stellar network and create their own Stellar solutions, such as custom SDKs, XDR viewers, and embedded software solutions, such as hardware wallets.
Elixir developers seeking to propose new solutions and products with Stellar.
Relevant market segments to this proposal:
This project will be open-sourced under the MIT license.
At present, we could not find other SDKs on the market.
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
The xdr package (owner sunny-g) implements XDR in Elixir but relies heavily on elixir Macros which makes the debugging process tedious. So, we wanted to explore an alternative using plain modules and elixir functions.
The elixir-stellar-client package (owner Reverlylabs) only provides a set of functions to query some Horizon endpoints. The library is not a complete SDK and it is outdated since 2019.
Our marketing and sales plan is simple but focused on creating an open-source community around the Stellar libraries.

* The amounts shown are budget requests and not (yet) granted to the projects. During the Community Vote phase, voters can indicate whether the project deserves the amount it's asking for (budget request). The total pool of XLM available for SCF#11 is 8M XLM. SDF will allocate the XLM equivalent of the specified USD budget of the submissions with the most votes in descending order of rank until the earlier of (i) the XLM Pool is fully distributed (ii) there is not sufficient XLM remaining in the XLM pool to fully fund the next ranked submission or (iii) there are no remaining eligible submissions. The USD valuation of the budget request in XLM will be calculated using the CF Stellar Lumens-Dollar Settlement Price on December 5, 2022 as administered, maintained, and reported by the cryptocurrency index provider CF Benchmarks Ltd. (using the ticker “XLMUSD_RR”) (available at https://www.cfbenchmarks.com/indices/XLMUSD_RR). Learn more in the SCF Handbook.
