This submission will expand Dig with a dedicated Stellar DeFi analytics and management dashboard, providing users with a unified interface to explore protocols, monitor positions, and optimize their activity across the Stellar ecosystem.
To see the project in action today, you can test our beta application directly at stellar.getdig.ai. This initial functional version allows you to connect your wallet, explore the unified dashboard, and interact with the platform. Behind the scenes, the system is already fetching and normalizing real Mainnet data in real time (notably via the Soroban RPC and Stellar Horizon), supporting the ecosystem's main protocols: Blend, Aquarius, and Soroswap.
On the technical side, our GitHub repository outlines our entire architecture (monorepo, Postgres, indexer, NestJS API) as well as our approach to data management and normalization. Feel free to explore the source code to see how the back-end processes this information. (Note: We have also kept a few visuals showing the evolution of the interface in our Google Drive folder
1. Stellar DeFi Analytics
We will build protocol-level dashboards that surface key metrics such as liquidity/TVL, trading volume, capital flows, and yield performance across Stellar DeFi. Data will be collected through a modular indexing layer powered by Stellar Horizon (classic ledger activity) and Soroban RPC (contract state and events), and enriched with protocol-native APIs or SDKs where available initially including Blend (lending markets), DeFindex (vault/yield data), and liquidity layers such as Aquarius and Soroswap. These sources will be normalized into near real-time analytics to improve transparency and enable users to compare opportunities across protocols and markets. We will also compute time-windowed inflow/outflow and netflow metrics at the protocol and asset level, and extend this to cross-chain flow monitoring via bridge integrations such as Allbridge
2. Unified Portfolio Tracking
Users will be able to connect multiple Stellar wallets (Freighter, xBull, WalletConnect, Lobstr...) using Stellar Wallets Kit. The platform will aggregate balances, LP positions, and rewards across protocols, giving users a consolidated view of their DeFi exposure. This significantly improves user experience by removing the need to track positions across multiple interfaces.
3. Smart Alerts and Risk Signals
We will implement an alerting layer that detects meaningful changes such as liquidity drops/spikes, yield shifts, abnormal activity, and basic risk signals derived from on-chain activity. Alerts will be computed from ledger data and Soroban contract events and delivered directly in-app. When relevant, the system will also generate actionable recommendations (e.g., rebalancing suggestions) to help users respond quickly and manage exposure more safely.
4. Non-Custodial Portfolio Management
The platform will provide optional guided actions such as swaps, deposits, withdrawals, liquidity management, and rebalancing suggestions directly from the Dig interface. Transactions will be prepared client-side, optionally simulated through Soroban RPC, then signed and approved directly through connected Stellar wallets, ensuring a fully non-custodial experience. For details on which protocols support read-only analytics vs. on-chain execution, see Section 6 bis of the Technical Architecture
Together, these features strengthen the Stellar ecosystem by improving data accessibility, user onboarding, and capital allocation efficiency across Stellar DeFi protocols.

Dig is a Web3 analytics platform already operating across multiple blockchain ecosystems. The platform currently records around 1,000 monthly active users
User engagement is demonstrated through Dig’s community initiatives, including a points campaign with over 1,500 participating wallets and more than 12,000 quests completed through its Galxe program. These campaigns are designed to encourage early user participation and engagement with the platform’s analytics tools.
From a technical perspective, Dig has already built an on-chain analytics infrastructure capable of collecting, indexing, and analyzing large volumes of blockchain data in real time. The platform provides advanced analytics features such as liquidity tracking, holder distribution analysis, automated trading activity detection (snipers), and risk indicators for DeFi tokens.
The platform has already indexed and analyzed over 1 million tokens and processes data derived from large-scale on-chain activity across multiple networks, enabling the monitoring of millions of wallets and smart contracts.
Finally, Dig collaborates with Nova Research on its go-to-market strategy and ecosystem development. This existing product, infrastructure, and user traction significantly reduces development risk and provides a strong foundation for extending Dig’s analytics capabilities to the Stellar DeFi ecosystem.
Deliverable 1 — Data Indexing Foundation (Horizon & Soroban)
Description: Build the backend infrastructure to collect Stellar DeFi data. The indexer will handle Stellar's duality: fetching "Classic" activity via Horizon (native SDEX orderbook, trustlines, balances) and smart contract data via the Soroban RPC.
How to measure completion:
Hybrid indexing service (Horizon + Soroban RPC) storing data in a unified database.
Adapters developed for Blend V2 (already initiated in our repository via pnpm -C apps/indexer run:blend - Soroban) and for the native Stellar DEX liquidity pools (SDEX - Classic/Horizon).
Internal API endpoints (/protocols, /venues/:key/snapshots) serving data with a 5 to 15-minute refresh cadence.
Estimated Date of Completion: May 25, 2026
Budget: $12,300
Deliverable 2 — Analytics Dashboard MVP
Description: Deliver the first version of the user interface displaying global market data and protocol-specific dashboards using Testnet data.
How to measure completion:
Live and publicly accessible web interface.
Display of key metrics (TVL, volume, APY) for the protocols indexed in Deliverable 1.
Integration of Stellar Wallets Kit for seamless wallet connection.
Estimated Date of Completion: June 8, 2026
Budget: $6,140
Deliverable 3 — Smart Transaction Builder (Testnet)
Description: Develop the engine that generates non-custodial transaction proposals. The builder will automatically bundle required prerequisites (e.g., missing trustlines) into a single XDR envelope for the user to sign in their wallet.
How to measure completion:
Users can generate a multi-operation XDR transaction (e.g., ChangeTrust + Deposit) directly from the UI.
Transactions are successfully simulated and executed on the Stellar Testnet.
Strict adherence to the non-custodial model: signatures are exclusively performed in-wallet via Stellar Wallets Kit.
Estimated Date of Completion: June 22, 2026
Budget: $11,070
Deliverable 1 — Multi-Wallet Portfolio & "Active Signer" Model
Description: Implement multi-wallet tracking, allowing users to monitor a consolidated portfolio of positions across Stellar DeFi.
How to measure completion:
UI supports adding one "Active Signer" wallet and multiple "watch-only" addresses.
Aggregation of balances and DeFi positions across all tracked addresses.
Clear UI distinction between watch-only addresses and the active signing context.
Estimated Date of Completion: July 6, 2026
Budget: $7,380
Deliverable 2 — In-App Alerting Engine
Description: Build the backend logic and frontend interface for user-defined alerts based on on-chain activity and metric deltas (e.g., APY drops, health factor risks). How to measure completion:
Users can configure specific thresholds and alerting preferences stored in their profile.
The backend evaluates rules against the snapshot database and generates in-app notifications
Estimated Date of Completion: July 20, 2026
Budget: $8,610
Deliverable 3 — Bridge Flow Monitoring
Description: Integrate bridge monitoring to track cross-chain capital inflows to the Stellar ecosystem.
How to measure completion:

Budget: $6,140
Deliverable 1 — Mainnet Deployment & Freshness Tracking
Description: Switch the entire infrastructure (Indexer, API, Frontend) to the Stellar Mainnet for all integrated protocols. Implement data reliability monitoring (freshness tracking).
How to measure completion:
Production deployment with real Mainnet data for Blend V2, SDEX, Soroswap, Aquarius, and DeFindex.
The system monitors source latency: if a protocol becomes "stale", the UI explicitly indicates it and the indexer performs retries with exponential backoff.
Estimated Date of Completion: August 10, 2026
Budget: $8,610
Deliverable 2 — Non-Custodial Mainnet Actions
Description: Enable real transaction execution on the Mainnet. The Smart Transaction Builder interacts with the official smart contracts deployed by partner protocols on the main network.
How to measure completion:
Successful execution of swaps and vault/lending interactions on the Mainnet from the dashboard.
Validation of strict security: backend stores only public addresses and never processes private keys.
The UI cleanly manages and displays execution feedback.
50+ unique mainnet wallets and 200+ mainnet transactions
Estimated Date of Completion: August 24, 2026
Budget: $8,610
Deliverable 3 — Observability, UI/UX Polish & Reference Implementation Handoff
Description: Final UI polish based on Mainnet feedback. Implementation of system observability and delivery of the technical architecture package to the Stellar Development Foundation.
