By Stellar Attestation Service
Use our attestation infrastructure to build anything from Network States, DAOs, DePIN, and RWA.
In many industries, verifying credentials and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements is fraught with challenges:
Complex and time-consuming processes that hinder efficiency.
High susceptibility to fraud and data tampering due to reliance on centralized systems.
Inherent inefficiencies in traditional methods of issuing and verifying digital attestations.
These problems are particularly pronounced in sectors such as financial services, supply chain management, education, healthcare, real estate, and employment verification. Without a scalable and trust-enabling solution, organizations struggle to meet regulatory demands and user expectations for secure, reliable credentialing.
To address these issues, we are developing the Stellar Attestation Service (SAS)—a decentralized attestation framework leveraging Soroban smart contracts.
Key Functionalities:
Issuance and Management: Enable Stellar ecosystem projects to issue, store, and verify diverse digital credentials, such as identity verifications, educational certifications, and professional qualifications.
Decentralized Storage: Store attestation metadata on IPFS for tamper-proof data integrity.
Tokenized Attestations: Represent attestations as tokenized assets, ensuring transparent and immutable credential management.
Seamless Integration: Provide developer-friendly APIs and SDKs for seamless integration into Stellar projects.
This platform empowers Stellar projects to generate cryptographic proofs of on-chain signatories, enhancing trust and compliance for projects building Stellar .
Enhanced Utility: Expands Stellar’s range of use cases to include identity verification, credentialing, and supply chain tracking.
New Revenue Streams: Introduces schema levies and service fees, creating economic opportunities for network stakeholders.
Global Adoption: Appeals to industries prioritizing privacy-preserving solutions for compliance and security.
Developer Ecosystem Growth: A modular, user-friendly design encourages the development of new dApps leveraging attestation functionalities.
No-Code Schema Deployer (dApp):
Simplify schema creation for users without technical expertise.
Provide a UI to define schema rules, levies, and conditions like expiration or revocation.
Attestation Explorer and Analytics Portal (dApp):
A dashboard for viewing, analyzing, and managing issued attestations.
Provide detailed metrics and visualizations of attestation data.
New and Improved Node.js (SDK):
Empower developers to easily integrate SAS functionalities into their projects.
Provide out-of-the-box tools for attestation schema management and querying.
Attestation Authorities:
Allow projects to become verified authorities by validating their stellar.toml file.
Unlock pro features such as:
Enhanced Analytics: Detailed insights into schema usage and attestation metrics.
Notifications: Real-time updates via Telegram bots or channels when schemas or attestations are signed.
Levy Collection: Enable authorities to collect XLM levies for attestations related to their schema.
Build and deploy smart contracts to facilitate authority issuance and schema governance.

Engage Stellar Developer Ecosystem:
Connect with Stellar ecosystem founders and key developers to build early traction and trust.
Establish relationships with influential Stellar-based projects and integrate them into the attestation network.
Community Outreach through Developer Networks:
Partner with Stellar-focused developer communities to promote the use of the attestation framework.
Launch mini-bounty programs incentivizing the adoption and creation of attestations on Stellar.
Content & Social Media Campaign:
Execute a 1-3 month awareness campaign using Stellar-focused content (articles, blog posts, podcasts).
Collaborate with Stellar influencers to drive visibility and interest within the Stellar ecosystem.
Soroban Source Attestation for Stellar Mainnet Projects:
Target projects launching on Stellar through DappRadar to adopt attestation when they complete their smart contract audits.
Provide delegated proofs that verify the audit status of smart contracts for these projects, detailing the auditor and audit date.
Strategic Partnerships for Contract Verification:
Partner with at least 12 Stellar-based smart contract developers to attests to the verification of their source code on the platform.
Establish a standard for code verification on Stellar, ensuring transparency and trust.
Authority Setup for Stellar Ecosystem Projects:
Work with 3+ key ecosystem projects on Stellar to establish attestation authorities.
Enable these authorities to create schemas and issue customized attestations within the Stellar ecosystem, empowering decentralized verification.
Industry Engagement:
Conducted 11 RFP calls with founders building use cases in identity, asset tokenization, on-chain notaries, and signatories.
We intend to co-build with 2 of these founders to launch their products which leverage the attestation service on the Stellar blockchain.
Benchmark Validation(From Competitors):
Sign Protocol: Proven capability with 3M+ on-chain attestations and 2.5K+ schemas.
Ethereal Attestation Service Ecosystem:
Over 7M attestations created.
430,000+ unique attesters.
6,000+ registered schemas.
Research Insights and Interviews:
Delivered outputs informed by extensive user research:
Following extensive research and interviews, we have now a new a simplified no-code attestation deployment dApp & explorer (View Design). See Checkpoint One for reference https://www.figma.com/design/0BK8NARaTm8LrPFzRZKhM3/attest.so?node-id=1-4&node-type=canvas
Our expertise in Rust-based virtual machines (VMs) positions us uniquely for multi-chain interoperability. By aligning our attestation service with industry-standard proposals, we enable seamless bridging of attestations between EVM-compatible chains and Stellar. This capability unlocks significant opportunities, simplifying migration and integration for projects across these ecosystems. It ensures ease of use and attracts developers building multi-chain solutions.
