Develop automated workflows for seamless integration with Stellar, enabling users to create triggers, read data, and execute transactions without deep blockchain expertise
With the SCF Build Award, K3 Labs will develop automated workflows specifically designed for Stellar’s blockchain, enabling use cases such as automated token transfers, cross-border payments, and DeFi lending/borrowing. Each workflow can include triggers based on Stellar smart contract events and direct integrations with Soroban smart contracts to execute transactions seamlessly.
Features to Develop: - Trigger Functionality: Enable workflows to start based on Stellar blockchain events. - Read Stellar Data: Access data from Stellar accounts, smart contracts, and on-chain transactions. - Write Operations: Develop the ability to execute transactions directly from workflows, such as sending tokens or interacting with Soroban smart contracts.
How Stellar Is Used: Stellar will be used for handling payment-related operations, interacting with Soroban smart contracts for DeFi workflows, and reading blockchain data to enhance the automation capabilities.
Impact: This integration will allow K3 Labs users to leverage Stellar’s fast transaction times and low fees to automate business processes and financial operations, thereby increasing efficiency and accessibility.

Success Metrics: - Number of Users: Onboard 1,000 active users within the first 3 months post-launch. - Automated Workflows: Deploy 500+ unique workflows running on Stellar’s blockchain. - Community Growth: Grow our community to over 10,000 members across different platforms.
Impact: - Expanded Financial Access: Simplify access to decentralized finance tools by enabling automated workflows, reducing the barrier to entry for non-technical users. - Increased Adoption of Stellar: Increase adoption of Stellar blockchain by making it easy for developers and enterprises to integrate Stellar functionalities into their operations without deep technical expertise.
Go-to-Market Strategy: - Community Engagement: Continue building and engaging with the community on social platforms such as Telegram, Twitter, and Discord. - Partnerships: Establish strategic partnerships with existing DeFi platforms, NFT projects, and blockchain technology providers to increase adoption. Integrations of these platforms will allow for organic marketing efforts and access to larger user bases of already established projects. - Public Launch: Execute a phased launch, starting with early users from the beta program, followed by a broader public launch with promotional campaigns. - Enterprise Engagement: We are already gaining traction and will continue to engage with large enterprises from both Web2 and Web3 directly, encouraging them to use our platform at scale
Evidence of Prior Traction: - Node operators delegated amount: Over 2B USD has been restaked on EigenLayer, showcasing strong dedication and support for K3 Labs - Operator Network: We have established a robust network of 22 operators and are featured on the EigenLayer AVS (Active Validator Set) page, highlighting our operational presence and credibility - Beta Users: Over 300 beta testers have participated in testing the platform, providing valuable feedback on workflow automation. - On-Chain Transactions: Users have executed workflows resulting in multiple on-chain transactions on testnets and mainnets, demonstrating successful use of the platform. - Community Engagement: Over 500 members in our Telegram community, actively participating in discussions and beta tests.
Milestone 1: Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
- Brief Description: Develop an initial version of the K3 Labs workflow automation platform with Stellar integration, enabling users to create basic workflows that interact with Stellar blockchain functionalities, such as reading data and executing simple transactions. - How to Measure Completion: Deployment of the MVP with basic workflow automation capabilities, including reading data on Stellar, accessible to a group of beta testers. - Estimated Date of Completion: Month 1 - Budget: $35,000
Milestone 2: Beta Launch and GTM
- Brief Description: Deploy the MVP onto Stellar Testnet, adding more complex workflow capabilities such as interaction with Soroban smart contracts, and introduce the ability to test cross-chain integrations. GTM activities will include the creation and distribution of multiple Stellar-specific templates supporting event triggers, bridging, and automated XLM trading - and demo videos and blog posts to support each. The grant will also support a targeted marketing campaign to the Stellar community including the creation of unique content, paid advertising, and active participation in Meridian 2025.
- How to Measure Completion: - Successful deployment on Stellar Testnet, with the ability for users to execute complex workflows and interact with Soroban smart contracts - 100+ Stellar specific users. - Enough feedback from the initial user set to identify the most popular use-cases for migration to full Mainnet - Estimated Date of Dev Completion: Month 2 - GTM Activities (on-going) - Budget: $40,000
