By Range: Cross-chain intelligence platform
This proposal seeks to integrate the Stellar ecosystem with Range’s Cross-Chain Explorer and Range Trail, our cross-chain, cross-ecosystem, real-time forensic intelligence platform. The goal is to provide Stellar teams with new analytical and intelligence tools and improve the onboarding UX for new end users.
Range’s Cross-Chain Explorer will incorporate Stellar and data from Allbridge, Axelar, and Tricorn (and other upcoming interoperability protocols), providing real-time, comprehensive asset tracking across the Stellar ecosystem. This will allow users, developers, and product teams to filter and monitor inflows, outflows, bridge routes, and counterparty chains, offering deeper transparency into cross-chain asset movement.
With this integration, users will gain instant visibility into cross-chain liquidity flows, helping them track bridged assets, analyze cross-chain transactions, and detect anomalies or unusual activity. Builders and product teams can evaluate user behavior trends, optimize liquidity strategies, and respond to shifting market conditions more effectively.
Furthermore, all data from this integration will be accessible via the Range API, enabling developers to build custom dashboards, risk monitoring tools, and analytics solutions tailored to their needs. This ensures that projects in the Stellar ecosystem can seamlessly integrate cross-chain intelligence into their applications, improving decision-making and security across the network.
Learn more about the benefits of the Cross-Chain Explorer and how developers can leverage this data for advanced tracking, compliance, and asset security.
Range will develop a dedicated public Stellar Bridge Explorer to provide a real-time view of asset transfers to and from Stellar over Allbridge, Axelar, and Tricorn (and other upcoming interoperability protocols).
While the Cross-Chain Explorer integration above will display Stellar-related transactions in our full explorer for every ecosystem, allowing for cross-ecosystem awareness, this bridge explorer will be specific to Stellar only. It will include relevant cross-chain analytics such as inflows and outflows, key addresses, and volume metrics. See https://ibc.range.org/ibc/flows for reference.
The Stellar Bridge Explorer (to be hosted at stellar.range.org) will be similar to usdc.range.org, which tracks USDC transfers across Circle’s CCTP, relied on by the team at dYdX, Circle and others for their day-to-day operations.
We will integrate Stellar into Range’s Trail platform - our leading cross-chain risk, intelligence, and investigation tool. Our platform was instrumental in multiple hack investigations this past year, supporting companies such as Circle, Solana Foundation, and Neutron.
Range Trail will track Stellar wallets’ transaction flows across chains and ecosystems. It will enable transaction flow analysis, user profiling, and cross-chain activity tracking. Teams can visualize asset movements through interactive graphs and address cluster views, making it easier to analyze user behavior, detect suspicious activity, and identify high-risk counterparties This integration streamlines risk management and compliance processes, empowering teams to monitor assets and transactions across ecosystems.
In the event of a security incident, Range Trail will enable detailed forensic investigations, tracking stolen or compromised assets in real-time across multiple ecosystems. This capability will help teams pinpoint where funds have been moved and how they are being distributed and provide critical intelligence for recovery efforts.
Integrating Stellar into Range Trail empowers ecosystem teams, security researchers, and compliance officers with a powerful toolset for risk management, asset monitoring, and real-time blockchain forensics.
Once we have completed the development and launch of the 3 products mentioned above, as part of this proposal, we will deliver six months of our comprehensive Post Delivery Service, which includes:
Maintenance to ensure compatibility with chain upgrades.
Updates to our parsers and processing to accommodate new types of onchain transactions and feature developments.
Additions or tweaks to the analytics and dashboards we produce to better align with common queries by ecosystem partners.
Exposing any such new metrics to all our API endpoints used by teams in Stellar.
Add new cross-ecosystem interoperability protocols as they onboard Stellar to their protocols.
Maybe in the future, but not in this submission
$150.0K
Usage of the tools will be the key measurement of impact. We are hoping for 10k visits to our Stellar tools per quarter and to onboard developers & users from outside ecosystems (e.g., Ethereum and Solana), and to improve cross-chain safety by tracking malicious funds bridging into Stellar.
We also believe inclusion in our Cross-Chain Explorer will add visibility of Stellar to wider web3 users.
Once our tools are live for the Stellar ecosystem, we plan to engage the ecosystem extensively by:
Leveraging Range’s existing relationships within the Stellar ecosystem to drive usage of the tools.
Conduct outreach and introductions to new ecosystem partners to expand Stellar’s security and intelligence capabilities.
Provide Range API trial licenses to key teams within the Stellar ecosystem so that they can benefit from the new real-time intelligence capabilities.
We will initiate our marketing efforts during the product development phase and reach out to potential clients with well-branded and professionally designed materials that explain the Range product suite in depth. Marketing will be an ongoing effort for Range by means of both direct reach, co-marketing, and content production.
We are hoping for co-marketing support from the SDF and key partners that we onboard on to the Range Platform to help us reach broader audiences within the Stellar ecosystem.
Range is a leading blockchain intelligence and monitoring platform for the Solana, EVM, and Cosmos ecosystems, focusing on cross-chain analytics and stablecoins.
While our tools and services are not yet available for the Stellar ecosystem, by way of traction evidence, below are some highlights from other ecosystems.
With its advanced explorer, Risk APIs, real-time monitoring and alerts, the Range Platform helps secure over $31 billion in assets for dozens of deFi teams including Circle, Noble and Celestia.
Range Trail, our cross-chain forensic wallet monitoring tool, is used by multiple teams to respond to incidents and identify stolen funds in security hacks, including Circle, dYdX and the Solana Foundation.
Our USDC Explorer is the primary explorer for Circle's CCTP protocol. It helps users track cross-chain stablecoin transfers daily across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Cosmos and many other ecosystems.
Our IBC Rate Limit contracts secure every transaction across Cosmos’s Osmosis and Neutron chains, limiting the potential damage caused by a hack.
Our Risk APIs form the backbone of the new Solana Transaction Security Standard, which Squads Protocol adopted to secure its users, who have over $10 billion in combined assets. Squads and other teams rely on our Risk API to secure more than $100 million in stablecoin transactions monthly, ensuring real-time risk assessment and proactive threat mitigation across the Solana ecosystem.
This allocation received at the start of the project will be used for the initial setup of cloud, data, and node infrastructure.
We will consider this tranche to be complete once we launch the Cross-Chain Explorer and Stellar Bridge Explorer, with real-time data from AllBridge, Tricorn and Axelar (if launched by then), including Range API access to the data we gather and process.
This is expected to be completed by month 3 of the engagement.
Requested Allocation: $45,000 (30% of total)
While not strictly speaking “testnet,” we will consider this tranche to be complete when we integrate Stellar into our Advanced Trail Intelligence - our cross-chain forensic flow-of-funds investigation tool.
With this release, we would have completed the development and launch of all products mentioned in this proposal.
This is expected to be completed by month 4 of the engagement.
Requested Allocation: $90,000 (60% of total)
Again, while not strictly speaking “mainnet”, we will consider this tranche to be complete 3 months into our 6-month Post Delivery Service.
As part of this proposal, we will provide 6 months of our comprehensive Post Delivery Service, which includes:
Maintenance to ensure compatibility with chain upgrades.
Updates to our parsers and processing to accommodate new types of onchain transactions and feature developments.
Additions or tweaks to the analytics and dashboards we produce to better align with common queries by ecosystem partners.
Exposing any such new metrics to all our API endpoints used by teams in Stellar.
Add new cross-ecosystem interoperability protocols as they onboard Stellar to their protocols.
This is expected to be completed by month 7 of the engagement.
Requested Allocation: $15,000 (10% of total)
