By TrustSwap: Team Finance
Affordable, secure and user-friendly token services for startups, projects, layer 1s, and foundations. Secure, track, manage, and automate your token operations in one place, while also unlocking access to our incubation and fundraising programs.
Team Finance platform will offer: Token Minting, Liquidity Locks, Team Token Locks, NFT Locks, Vesting as a Service, Staking as a Service, and Multisender services for projects building on the Stellar chain.
Users can access these tools as one-time purchases through our web-based interface or choose a renewable annual subscription for unlimited use of all available tools.
Immediately after releasing the Token Locks, Liquidity Locks, and Vesting tools for Stellar on Team Finance, projects building on the Stellar chain become eligible to apply for the TrustSwap Launchpad & Incubator programs, gaining, among others, access to public and private fundraising opportunities, consultancy, marketing support, and more.
Additional information:
TrustSwap’s Token Generator: lowers the entry barrier for projects to launch their own token on the Stellar ecosystem, making token creation simple, secure, and instantaneous, enabling them to go to market quickly with their product or service.
Liquidity Locks: a non-custodial service designed to de-risk DeFi by eliminating common bad actor tactics, such as rug pulls, preventing projects from removing their entire liquidity. Enhances investor and community confidence with DeFi transparency tools. All liquidity token locks set up by Stellar projects will be verifiable through our public lock dashboard.
Team Token Locks: reduce risk in DeFi by eliminating common bad actor tactics, such as exit scams, preventing projects from mass-dumping their tokens. Boost investor and community confidence with transparency tools. All non-custodial team token locks set up by Stellar projects will be verifiable through our public lock dashboard.
NFT Locks: a service designed to de-risk operations by eliminating bad actor tactics. Boost investor and community confidence by securely locking NFTs in our non-custodial vault.
Vesting as a Service: Stellar projects will save time and cost with this non-custodial fully automated vesting service. Instead of triggering mass sell-offs by distributing vested tokens to all recipients at once, our smart contract gradually releases small portions into a claiming dashboard. This approach ensures a balanced and steady release of unlocked tokens, reducing sell pressure and minimizing price volatility.
Staking as a Service: Stellar projects can save time and cost with our user-friendly, instant Staking Pool service. Simply follow the wizard, set pool parameters, transfer rewards, and let the smart contract take care of the rest. This service provides an easy & quick way for Stellar projects to incentivize holders to lock their tokens, earn passive income, and reduce token circulation.
MultiSender: save time and cost with our user-friendly Multisender tool, send tokens to all recipients in just one simple action. Simplify administration with instant batch payments for salaries, invoices, airdrops, and more.

TrustSwap has an in-house marketing team that successfully led the promotion of our previous chain integrations. In addition to our standard marketing efforts, we are open to co-marketing opportunities with Stellar, including AMAs and collaborative campaigns, as we successfully did with other chains. The Team Finance platform is already live for other chains, and the marketing will be around the added support for Stellar chain.
Side note: We also own The Crypto App, with over 5 million downloads, it is one of the world’s leading all-in-one multi-chain crypto apps, available on both Android and iOS. Through targeted push notifications, pinned content, and in-app advertising, there are options to effectively reach and engage a broad and relevant user base. (Costs for The Crypto App marketing are not included in this grant proposal)
We have already demonstrated significant traction and market validation, with our platform successfully live for almost 5 years across more than 23 blockchains, covering both EVM and non-EVM chains. We have served over 35,000 customers and helped secure over $3 billion in total value locked (TVL) across token locks, liquidity locks, and vesting services. These figures reflect both the demand for our tools and the trust we have built within the Web3 ecosystem.
How can TrustSwap help Stellar grow?
Team Finance:

TestNet for Stellar available on the Team Finance platform.

The QA team confirmed that anybody can view public project information such as their locks, staking pools, and vesting. They also verified that project administrators can use the admin interface to track and manage their project tokens, locks, and other related activities and statistics.

Who will be the first Stellar project to launch on TrustSwap? They will open the application form for Stellar startups, but projects will need to wait for the official Mainnet release of Team Token Locks, Liquidity Locks, and Vesting before their TGE can take place.
We also welcome the Stellar Foundation to recommend high-potential projects they believe would benefit from the tools, guidance, and funding they need for long-term success.
