Problem. There are a lot of practical web3 applications that people can use, but adoption could be much higher. One big hurdle for user adoption is access to services, steep learning curves, and complicated user experiences. We want to simplify the user experience and promote the use cases rather than the underlying technology.


Flora makes it easier for users to transact and engage.

We want to make it easy for our users to access a variety of curated services that helps them make use of the Stellar network. Flora gives users access to apps and services for specific use cases, focuses on business, and aims to allow business owners to assemble their value chain much more quickly. These apps include transactions, governance tools, voting modules, invoicing, payment services, and third-party services.


First, we will focus on transactions and transaction templates. Users can set transaction parameters through intuitive wizards and with human-friendly language. Some templates will include legal guidance to help users attach documents as legal proof of their transactions and improve user comfort.


Transaction templates can be described as UI components for Stellar for smart contracts, both Classic Stellar Smart Contracts and transactions and later for Soroban Smart Contracts. Our focus is on business owners and project creators that want to bring their traditional business closer to DeFi and web3.


All users will require a Stellar wallet to keep their assets safe and secure. We will seek a relationship with developers on Stellar for support and the development of more apps and integrations, support growth, and contribute to user adoption on the network.
